Meet Marina Picciotto, PhD, (Marina Picciotto) SfN’s president! Her research focuses on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and their role in neurons, circuits, and behavior which is represented in this year’s logo. Discover the story and science behind #SfN24 logo and get prepared for

We're recruiting postdocs/researchers/lab manager/technicians, doing high-resolution whole brain mapping, atlasing, neural recording, behavioral tracking, vascular mapping, etc. indeed.com/job/postdoctor…, indeed.com/job/research-t…

Excited to start this project- my lab's first R01 from NIAAA News with amazing collaborators (JK Yale Psychiatry and Hongyu Zhao ).

New paper out in Nature Communications! Combining in vivo cell-attached, extracellular, and whole-cell recordings during behavior with a spiking RNN we show how a diversity of neural response types contributes to network function and task performance. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Most knowledge of sequence p/replay comes from single experiences. Now we reveal principles of generative coding enabling HPC to parallelize & bind time-compressed representations of 15 discontinuous experiences in single events in sleep Nature Neuroscience: rdcu.be/dOjCv 1/6

Cortical interneurons learn on the job! Speculated this was true a decade ago! Sherry Wu and Min Dai finally provide evidence! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to publish a broad set of enhancers to target interneuron types in the brain, along with a broad set of collaborators. This is part of the BI armamentarium, which together will help revolutionize the targeting and understanding of brain circuits. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Please apply! Great way to practice that job talk you are working on!

So happy to share our new work that is now out @sciencemagazine: We show how neurons in the mouse zona incerta (ZI) modulate infant social behaviors and learning. This work was led by the AMAZING graduate student Yuexuan Li Yuexuan Li 李玥璇. 🎉science.org/doi/epdf/10.11… #ScienceResearch

**SfN's Social Neuroscience Social** will happen on Oct. 7th (Mon) at SfN, jointly organized by myself, Nancy Padilla Coreano, and Ziv Williams. -->Please contact us if you are PI and would like to be a special guest! We have a few more spots to fill!!

Now in press at ACSChemNeurosci – our study about psilocybin’s effect on fear extinction. 🍄🐭⚡ pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Proud of the systematic work by Sam Woodburn, where we tested how the behavioral effects depend on dose, timing, serotonin receptors.

Navigating Central Oxytocin Transport: Known Realms and Uncharted Territories. Our review paper on Oxytocin transport. We highlighted potential volume transmission via CSF and blood, the interaction between brain and body. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10…

Thrilled to share our new paper just out in Science Magazine, led by the amazing postdoc Naoyuki Matsumoto! We found how patterns of spontaneous activity instruct fine-scale refinement of axonal connectivity. A great collaboration with the Crair group! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Recruiting postdocs! Please get in touch if you wanna discuss projects on biologically plausible learning through TUM's global postdoctoral fellowship tum.de/en/about-tum/c…

Our first annual Ribicoff Labs picnic and retreat ended with a science-y piñata stuffed with Halloween candy. The weather was perfect, the food was great and the company was terrific. Thank you Molecular Psychiatry for turning out and thank you organizers and helpers! Yale Psychiatry

Hippocampus generates an internal model of Euclidean space. We ventured in a spatial odyssey exploring how much of the internal model is a priori, innate (Nature) and what is contributed by postnatal experience of Euclidean geometry (Nurture) Our answer@ nature.com/articles/s4146…👇

Very happy to announce our new paper on how acetylcholine signaling in the medial prefrontal cortex is important for learned helplessness outcomes. Fresh out of the Marina Picciotto lab in Neuropsychopharmacology (nature.com/articles/s4138…) Here are some key takeaways from the study:

At SfN 2024 in Chicago. DM if you want to meet up! #sfn2024 Society for Neuroscience (SfN)

You know you should switch up your wardrobe when the lab can surprise dress like you for Halloween. 🎃

There are many nuances regarding the structural neural plasticity associated with antidepressant drugs. 💊🧠 We share our thoughts here in a Nature Rev Neurosci article, led by Clara Liao and included co-authors from Conor Liston’s lab at Weill Cornell Medicine Psychiatry nature.com/articles/s4158…
