how does it know!?

Wrapping up the week by visualizing the crazy axonal growth of dorsal root ganglia neurons in vitro using the SPY650-FastAct probe from Spirochrome! 🤩 Capturing one image every 10 minutes.

Over the moon to share that I received a 3-yrs Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research grant (start June 24). Postdoc position will be advertised soon but if you are/know someone interested in exploring the impact of adolescence dietary habits on dopamine & food-seeking, pls contact me [email protected]

“Neurodevelopment is not merely a process of brain maturation, but an adaptation to constraints unique to each individual and to the environments we co-create.” 🔥

“Being in academia is a privilege and I never forget that. My dad was a heavy-equipment operator for more than 40 years, and...he always prayed for me to have a job in which I would stay clean all day and have an office...” Love you always, Pops.

I'm hiring a post-doc! The work is on the role of the amygdala in reward. See pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31953370/ You have training in the behavioural neuroscience of reward, Pavlovian/Instrumental conditioning, opto & chemo? Then msge me and come work at U. of Montreal! Plz retweet.

📢 It's time for my lab to continue growing! We are looking for exceptional postdoctoral candidates to direct projects involving epigenetic mechanisms associated with neurodevelopment and neuropsychiatric disorders. More info👇👇 tinyurl.com/NeuroATBLab

Amazing opportunity to do great science with a fantastic mentor !!!

A team of workers were on a job in Edmonton, Canada, when they saw through a window a library’s public piano. “I’d told my co-workers for years I played piano,” said Archie Gould of Venger Electrostatic Coating, “but never had an opportunity to show them”:

🚨📣Out now as a preprint on bioRxiv My first first author paper (❗️) in the @brenhouse lab shows pre- and post-synaptic effects of early life adversity resulting in age- and sex-specific behavioral outcomes 🐭🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We are proud to announce the publication of a new study by Dr. Angélica Torres-Berrío 🇨🇴👩🏻‍🔬🧠🧬🚴🏻‍♀️ in Neuron which characterizes a novel role for H3K27me1 as a "chromatin scar" in nucleus accumbens that contributes to long-lasting sequelae of chronic stress. Friedman Brain Institute sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢Nuestro trabajo es el primer estudio que establece una nueva función de H3K27me1 en el cerebro y respalda la hipótesis de que H3K27me1 en el Nucleus Accumbens representa una "cicatriz de cromatina" que determina la susceptibilidad al estrés a lo largo de la vida. 👇👇
