Thrilled to wrap up the year and my postdoc work in the Nester lab with this publication 🥳! We show that astrocytic CREB regulates astrocyte calcium and D1-MSN activity to drive behavioral response to cocaine. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41406210/

At #SfN? Check out super talented graduate student Esther's poster on how acute alcohol modulates cell specific in vivo cortical activity. You can also congratulate her on recently defending her Masters thesis!!

Some sparsely-labeled VTA astrocytes for #fluorescenceFriday Green=GCaMP, red=jRGECO

Thrilled to share this work from my postdoc with Tom Carmichael, available online @ Neuron! Long story short: we find even more evidence that all reactive astrocytes are not equal, and we can take advantage of those differences to improve repair after stroke. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Here's a look at a field of striatal astrocytes expressing GCaMP6f-cyto from the Huda Lab for #FluorescenceFriday !

So glad to see our new paper out as a #GliaPaper #GliaJune2025 !!!!
