Excited to share that the O’Hare Lab will open 7/01 in the Department of Pharmacology CU Anschutz Medical Campus! We will use mouse hippocampal place fields as a model system to investigate dendritic mechanisms of learning and memory in vivo. Recruiting at all levels😎 oharelab.org

Using GCaMP6s for calcium imaging? Be cautious, it might increase neuronal excitability and cause seizures. Check our study here: rdcu.be/dDUiv

Thrilled to show my recent work about the regulation of dorsolateral septum GLP-1R neurons on feeding behavior. In this work, we showed that dLS-GLP-1R neurons and the inhibitory pathway to LHA can regulate feeding behavior.
