Kim lab’s first SfN! Come check out our posters on Sunday + Monday morning! New tools & new biology Jessie Muir Run Zhang Maribel Anguiano Josh

Glutamatergic afferents to the nucleus accumbens integrate information??? The answer may surprise you! Come check out poster MM4 (289.06) Monday afternoon at #SfN2023

Hi 👋🏼 I’m a 3rd year phd candidate in the Kim lab at UC Davis. This is my first time at ACNP I’ll be giving a talk on Tuesday morning! Stop by if you’re interested in neural circuits and activity dependent protein tagging 😁

Our systems neuroscience lab University of Toronto University of Toronto Scarborough is recruiting postdocs! We use in vivo recording and optogenetic manipulations during innovative behavioural tasks to investigate the neural dynamics of emotional memory. Please RT! See details below

Excited to share a new preprint from the lab! Here we unpack the apparent redundancy in how mPFC and vHip inputs to the NAc shell integrate reward. We identify a novel motif of reward integration that is common to both inputs but used differently biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Attending #OptoGRC2024? Don't miss my poster on both Wednesday and Thursday, looking at isolation of psychedelic-activated cell populations and their role in driving anxiolytic behavioral states!

It was so fun being a Discussion Leader with Amit Vinograd at the GRS session on "Optogenetic Tools for Studying Neural Circuits in Action." Great talks by: Yusuke Kasuga Zoé Christenson Wick, PhD Pritish Patil Adam Gordon-Fennell Jessie Muir Warmed-up for @optoGRC 🦾🤓🔦🧠

And it’s out! Our lab’s very first paper is published today Nature Methods! Our calcium-activated split-TurboID (CaST) can biochemically tag activated neurons within 10 minutes, enabling a molecular handle on functionally relevant cell ensembles: tinyurl.com/ddyecxze
