Come check out our poster&panel on neural circuits of opioid adddiction this PM ACNP! Mitch Farrell poster T170 today! And a panel on ‘hardship, hard drugs and soft circuits’ this PM with Tallie Z Baram Sophia Levis, MD, PhD Rajita Sinha, PhD & Dr. Millie Rincón-Cortés 🇵🇷!! #ACNP2020

Behavior shouldn’t be an afterthought in neuroscience. Had a good time writing this opinion piece with @alewis1982 & Dr.ErinCalipari. We highlight common design pitfalls & argue for standardization to help push the field forward. Read more: eneuro.org/content/8/2/EN…

So excited that our RNA-Seq paper is online today in Translational Psychiatry! This was a major group effort and I am so proud of the work. UIC Psychiatry CARE UIC nature.com/articles/s4139…

To all amygdala aficionados out there: what do we know about central amygdala Camk2a+ cells? Camk2a is considered a marker of excitatory cells yet CeA neurons are all inhibitory... Any clue would be great!

Contet Lab @superkash Also - data from here if you want to look across the other regions we have profiled in human brain: github.com/LieberInstitut…

We are so excited to announce that our #AddictionBiology paper "Sex-specific plasticity in CRF regulation of inhibitory control in central amygdala CRF1 neurons after chronic voluntary alcohol drinking" is now online! #IA2BC #SABV #CRF #CeA onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/I…

Re-upping this, please Retweet my #AcademicTwitter friends! We got the grant, there's a bunch of work to be done, happy to hire ASAP if the timing is right - or, towards the end of the year, all good!

We are recruiting! Interested in glia-to-neuron reprogramming as novel cell-based strategy for brain repair? We are looking for a talented postdoc to join our team and decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying lineage reprogramming👇 PleaseRT!

Wednesday is almost over at #WCBR2022 but don’t forget to plan for tomorrow 🤩 I’ll be speaking (again) at 8:30am tomorrow at this fantastic panel! Hope to see you there!

Happy to share our final published eLife - the journal article characterizing the role of the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN) in food intake! Work from 10 Williams College students including @GraceKromm and @OliviaBarnhill1. And Michael Krashes too! elifesciences.org/articles/75470

Thrilled to share Science Magazine piece, a 10 yr obsession: developing brains get signals from the environment that shape emotional circuit maturation & impact mental health. What signals? which ones are 'bad'? how do they influence circuit refinement? science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Amazing study. And great results about the understudied parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN)

We are looking for a new postdoc. Join our team to study the neurobiology of alcohol addiction and grow your skills in a dynamic and supportive environment! neurojobs.sfn.org/job/35745/post… Please retweet

The parasubthalamic nucleus refeeding ensemble delays feeding initiation biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv

Thrilled to share the preprint of our investigation of parasubthalamic neurons in the control of feeding initiation - led with brio by Jeff Dunning!

In a new study by Contet Lab, researchers have discovered that an experimental, clinical-stage antidepressant drug can also reverse excessive alcohol intake in animal models of alcohol use disorder scripps.edu/news-and-event… Neuropsychopharmacology
