We're live! "Atp1a2 and Kcnj9 Are Candidate Genes Underlying Sensitivity to Oxycodone-Induced Locomotor Activation and Withdrawal-Induced Anxiety-Like Behaviors in C57BL/6 Substrains" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gb…

After 1.5 years, our new behavioral space (1500 sq ft - 1/2 mice, 1/2 rats) is set to open this Spring 2025 (April?). Thus, I'm expanding the lab and wiill be hiring a postdoc and technician. A spring, summer, or fall 2025 start date would mesh well with this timeline. email me!

Curious about the placebo effect, especially placebo pain relief? If so, check out our pre-print on placebo analgesia in mice bit.ly/3QlktPq, in which we ask how pain-modulatory neural circuits become activated in the brain to suppress pain in the absence of a drug. 1/9
