#eNeuro: Using fiber photometry in mice, @katycelina.bsky.social‬, Rychlik, and @katrinachoe.bsky.social‬ show oxytocin neurons and astrocytes respond to social and stress cues differently depending on the situation and sex of the animal. @mcmastermedia.bsky.social‬ vist.ly/3n7y6tc

Call for an Assistant / Associate Prof. just opened at the @crchum.bsky.social in the Neuroscience Axis ! www.chumontreal.qc.ca/en/emplois/a...

I am delighted to share a new review article from Aishwarya Patwardhan and me, titled "The Social Salience Network Hypothesis of Autism: Disrupted Network Activity, Oxytocin Signaling, and Implications for Social Symptoms" published in Progress in Neurobiology! doi.org/10.1016/j.pn...

Thrilled to share that our paper is published! With this study, we reveal calcium dynamics of PVN oxytocin neurons and astrocytes in mice during social investigation and looming shadow threat, simultaneously imaged in vivo using two-colour fiber photometry. 🐭 🧠 🟢 🔴 www.eneuro.org/content/12/5...

Jam-packed past few weeks celebrating @katycelina.bsky.social’s paper acceptance, a new paper submission, hosting Dr. Toru Takumi, and attending #SOBP2025 in Toronto with @neuroash.bsky.social @siyaoneuro.bsky.social and #SONA2025 at @westernu.bsky.social with (almost) the whole lab crew! 🥳🍾🤩

So proud of you! 👏🥰

🧪 The Sjöström Lab in Montreal is looking for a postdoc! We study cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, and NMDAR signalling using custom 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics. We seek candidates with strong patch-clamp and/or 2-photon imaging expertise, and a relevant publication track record.

I have an opening in my lab for a postdoctoral fellow to work on projects that relate to the mechanisms of neurotransmitter release by dopamine neurons and/or on how inflammatory signals infuence the functionning of these neurons. Please share.

Fun times at #SOBP2025 with @gisellavetere.bsky.social @franklandlab.bsky.social Sheena Josselyn, Satoshi Kida, and Jessie Muir

Job alert ⚠️ - we are looking for a research tech with experience in mouse-related 🐭 and molecular bench 🧪 work! A great position for recent graduates looking for additional research experience, but we also welcome applications from more experienced scientists. Apply here 👉 tinyurl.com/wprtj822

Fantastic news for @uoft.bsky.social! I've been so lucky to have known Dr. Woodin since I was an undergraduate student at U of T. Her research and teaching have had a huge positive influence on my career as a neuroscientist. My heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Woodin!

GREAT opportunity for Canadian trainees: FOUR talks at the Neural Circuits and Behaviour CAN satellite are reserved for trainees. AND the best trainee talk wins a $500 prize (thanks to the Garry Hurvitz Centre for Brain & Mental Health). REGISTER today and submit your proposed talk title.

It was a great pleasure to host our #Neuroscience workshop “Exploring the Brain” at the WISE (Women in Science and Engineering) National Conference 2025 in Toronto! Awesome demonstrations by Ash and Siyao @siyaoneuro.bsky.social

Happy holidays from the Choe lab! Yes, we had a grinch-themed karaoke party and it was the BEST 🎉🎁🎤🎶🎄

Congrats to Sam Mestern, Ph.D. student at @westernu.bsky.social, for winning the MapMySpikes challenge! His tool, PatchOTDA, excelled in mapping electrophysiological data to molecular properties. 🧠📈 More on his tool and the MapMySpikes challenge: alleninstitute.org/news/canadia...

Important to understand that there is diversity in terminology preferences among people in the autism spectrum. though a majority of people prefer identity-first language (eg ‘autistic’), a significant minority prefer person-first language (eg ‘has autism). So it’s good to ask! #ACNP2024

Dr. Gillespie-Lynch unpacking the hidden curriculum is a key way to support neurodivergent folks #acnp2024

Coming soon: We have a Scientist position in the Neuroscience & Mental Health Program at SickKids. Should post details later this week. Stay tuned.

Tidbit from the #ACNP2024 women's luncheon: To be an effective leader, you need to develop the skill of having difficult conversations. This is done through practice.

Fantastic talks by Richard Daneman, Matthew Campbell, @caromenard666.bsky.social @naguibmechawar.bsky.social highlighting the important role of the blood-brain barrier in multiple brain disorders #ACNP2024

#ACNP2024 has lots of people joining the blue side For newbies let's re-share some starter packs! @talialerner.bsky.social made a few including women in neuroscience go.bsky.app/SCFmKoC I
