Thanks to everyone who came to my poster today at #SfN2022! Many great questions, suggestions, and potential collaborations. You all made my first conference a fantastic experience. Check out other Root Lab posters this week!

Ventral tegmental area glutamate neurons mediate nonassociative consequences of stress -- now published in molecularpsychiatry rdcu.be/c0vVB

New pre-print led by Dillon J McGovern Abby Polter Annie Ly Emily Prevost and Connor McNulty showing that a subset of VTA glutamate neurons establish a mu-opioid receptor gated circuit to mesolimbic dopamine neurons and participate in opioid-seeking behavior

Hiring: we will have an opening position for a Professional Research Assistant/Lab Manager soon. Also, our lab welcomes undergraduate students at the CU Boulder Psychology and Neuroscience and CUBoulder Neuroscience who want to gain expertise on neural circuit techniques and mouse behavioral testing.

Who's got two thumbs, two skis, and waited until the last possible day to print her poster for Winter Brain? 👍👩‍⚕️👍 Excited to show some spicy new data and meet up on the slopes! Who's in? #WCBR2023

#WCBR2023 Where the skiing is as good as the science!

Bring your spouse to Winter Brain, they'll have a great time too #WCBR2023

New research from Dillon J McGovern and Emily Prevost on functions and circuits of VTA glutamate neuron subtypes at today's winter brain poster session

Thanks to everyone who came to my poster! Had a great time talking to you all. Got some thought-provoking questions :)

Marisela Morales presenting her pioneering research at Winter Conference on Brain Research #wcbr2023

Ecstatic that Dr. Marisela Morales is a 2023 WCBR Pioneer. She exemplifies exemplary science, steadfast mentoring and commitment to diversity - even in the VTA! Also, a shout out to David Barker and David Root for outstanding presentations #WCBR2023

Meet 3MT finalist: Dillon McGovern – he studies the neurochemistry of stress and will be discussing PTSD and the idea of potentially immunizing the brain to build stress resistance before trauma occurs.

Pre-print of my first project in grad school 😊 BNST GABA neurons are necessary for foraging changes in mice following an innate, but not robotic, predator threat. Thank you to Alex Barker, Emily Prevost, Dillon J McGovern, @zpkilpat, and my grad advisor Dave Root

Extremely happy to present my first first-author pre-print as a PhD student! Huge thanks to everyone who helped with this project.

Research at SfN: Sunday afternoon KK7 Dillon J McGovern will present his research on VTA circuits and cell-types mediating consequences of stress Tuesday morning SS21 Emily Prevost will present her research on VTA mu opioid receptor cell-types and fentanyl exposure
