Excited to announce Neurolabware and the Tye Lab are collaborating to throw an epic SFN party. When everybody is done talking, come to Parq to just DANCE all night after far too long!! All are welcome, hoping to see folks LIGHT UP THE CYPHERS with me! 🙏Pls RT 🍾🥳🪩💃🐬🕺🫶



my 1st, 1st author pub is finally out!!🍾 huge shoutouts to my co-authors Lucina Uddin Agatha Lenartowicz, Gerhard Hellemann and my all-star advisor @Winkytheelf for all their expertise, suggestions, and being wonderful to work with 😊 /1


We're excited to announce our 2023 SYNCS speakers! This series is a new effort, organized by postdocs and funded by Brain Research Institute, to highlight *both* cutting-edge scientific work & incredible outreach and community-engagement efforts by external postdocs during a visit to UCLA.



Take a break from the slopes ⛷️ and come check out new data from myself and Cassie Klune this afternoon at #WBCR2023 😊


Huge congrats to Zachary Zeidler, PhD on his F32 award!! 🎉 We are all so excited for you! Stay tuned for his exciting work on the circuit mechanisms of remote memory…


Updated preprint! How does our prefrontal cortex help us avoid threats? Here Michael Gongwer and Cassie Klune show that three classes of mPFC projection neurons have specialized roles in threat avoidance. 1/n🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Excited to share our end of year symposium on June 16th! Join us for a celebration of women in neuroscience and a successful first year of UCLA WiN, with a catered reception following our keynote Bita Moghaddam بيتا مقدم’s talk! 🥳🔥



Check out this article on our outreach program CELL Scholars! Incredibly grateful to everyone who has made this idea become a reality and can’t wait to start year 2 with six amazing mentees 🤩



New preprint! We show that top-down mPFC circuits pass through distinct architectures over development. mPFC circuit maturation drives developmental transitions in threat avoidance behavior. Heroic effort by Cassie Klune Caitlin Goodpaster Michael Gongwer et al! doi.org/10.1101/2023.0…

🚨 Pre-print alert! 🚨 Super excited to share with y'all what I've been working on in Kate Wassum 🧠👩🏼🔬's lab. 🧠🐭 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… In true Wassum Lab fashion, here's a tweet 🧵 on what we found!

🚨🚨 New Wassum Lab Paper Alert 🚨🚨 How does the brain enable the learning we need to make adaptive decisions? Is dopamine involved? Dr. Ana Sias & team discovered answers. Read on to find out. 🧵👇🏻 Published today in Nature Neuroscience nature.com/articles/s4159…
