#eNeuro: Michelle Jin et al NIDAnews developed SMART, an open-source extension of the Wholebrain platform, incorporating user-flexibility w/ existing registration & automated cell counting methods to streamline large scale IEG mapping projects in mice. eneuro.org/content/9/3/EN…

Paper of the week: collaborative (Akil, Kieffer, Saunders, & more) project led by J Bossert. We developed Oprm1-Cre rats & showed sex-specific role of nucleus accumbens mu opioid receptors in heroin self-administration (poster VV11, Tues AM @ SfN meeting) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Stop by today SDCC 23 1-4:30pm for our nanosymposium! ativsoftware.com/appinfo.php?pa… #SFN22

I am happy to announce that I was awarded the U.S. National Science Foundation GRFP today! So thankful for all the amazing mentorship and support I've received along the way from Rajtarun Madangopal Katherine Savell Bruce Hope Arturo R. Zavala 🇲🇽🧠 and others! 👩🏻‍🔬🧠

Well deserved recognition for a rockstar scientist. Watch out world! NIDAnews

U.S. National Science Foundation Rajtarun Madangopal Katherine Savell Bruce Hope Arturo R. Zavala 🇲🇽🧠 I also want to thank Yavin Shaham (and the rest of the Shaham lab), Dr. Yeka Aponte, Michelle Jobes, and NIDA IRP SDFDR for all their help with this application process and my graduate school journey thus far! Congratulations to other NSF GRFP awardees as well 🥳🎊🎉

Excited to share a preprint from my postdoc in Hope Lab (Bruce Hope, NIDAnews) describing a snRNAseq pipeline - MultipleXed Population Selection and Enrichment snRNAseq(XPoSE-seq). biorxiv.org/content/10.110… A thread:

Very cool work from lab alumna Katherine Savell to integrate targeted capture of small/rare neuronal populations with snRNA-seq!

Ten years ago Rats do not show cocaine-primed reinstatement in presence of a cue signaling the drug non-availability (SD-) I still find this finding fascinating and not that easy to explain 😀 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Hello! My name is Sophia and I’m a fifth year grad student in Marina Wolf’s lab. It’s my first time at ACNP and I’m presenting my thesis work Tuesday 12/5 in the evening. Stop by to chat about dopamine’s contributions to cocaine incubation :)

Excited to share our Neuropsychopharmacology article showing the impact of social odor on social reward & preference.
