1/3 Exciting News! We're hiring at all levels immediately for our lab U of Utah Department of Neurobiology Join us in cutting-edge research at the intersection of neuroscience and chemical biology! We aim to explore how neuropeptides modulate behavior and physiology. Pls RT!


Meet one of the teams behind our #TeamScience - the electrophysiology group! Using cutting-edge tech like #neuropixels, they're improving the reliability and throughput of ephys experiments to decode how decisions, learning and actions work in the brain. alleninstitute.org/division/neura…


My postdoc work at Treutlein lab Gray Camp with Jasper Janssens is out in Science Magazine! We screen for neuron subtypes using pro-neural TFs + morphogen combinations + scRNA-seq and profiled over 700,000 cells in 480 conditions. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…





🎊So excited to share our new publication! We identified a novel circuit underlying threat processing and adaptive learning. Deeply grateful to BBRFoundation and all the co-authors who made this possible! IBG CU Boulder Psychology and Neuroscience UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology nature.com/articles/s4138…

Prairie voles have typically been used to probe the neural basis of love, until now: Female voles that lack oxytocin receptors struggle to make friends with other females, a new study shows. By Holly Barker thetransmitter.org/neurobiology/o…


🧠 How do tiny shifts in the brain lead to different disorders like autism or schizophrenia? Jessica Cardin, PhD, joins Neuroscience Perspectives with John J. Foxe to unpack the science 🎙️Watch the full episode here 👉youtu.be/85TuiMkDCPU




New in Science Magazine! 🎉 Thrilled to share my PhD project, we introduce a new optogenetic approach to study the developing brain - revealing how oxytocin shapes infant behavior. Thanks to my collaborators, Ofer Yizhar 💔 & my family❤️ science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Here’s the story🧵



Amazing work from Travis Faust in my lab UMass Chan Medical School UMMS Neuroscience UMass Chan Department of Neurobiology. Very proud of this work. Also thanks to fantastic collaborators Anne Schaefer, Pinar Ayata, Cagla Eroglu, and colleagues.
