Excited to share our Science paper on HaloDA1.0-the first genetically encoded far-red dopamine sensor! 🥳It enables powerful multiplex imaging in neurons, brain slices, and live animals.🧠🔬 #GRABsensors #Dopamine www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Congrats, Eyal! A great way to start.

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Advice I often give to my students is to separately read the first sentence of every paragraph. Those sentences alone should make the argument you want to make. And then whatever follows each topic sentence should *only* be about what the topic sentence is about. This can help structure papers.

NIH is the best investment there is. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Check out a new lab paper from Mayumi Watanabe's thesis work showing how different subregions of medial prefrontal cortex differentially regulate extinction of aversive memories through projections to the locus-coeruleus-noradrenaline system: doi.org/10.1038/s413...

I'm pleased to report that the board has now heard from NIH that the appointments of these three investigators and similarly situated folks are being extended. Thank you NIH! Delighted that the stellar work there will be continuing!

Our paper @dulaclab.bsky.social on social homeostasis is online today! We characterized “social rebound” behavior after social isolation in multiple mouse strains and revealed its neural basis. Intriguingly, soft touch plays a key role in satisfying social need! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/4 I am very pleased to share this new manuscript, “A crucial role for the cortical amygdala in shaping social encounters”, led by 2 spectacular postdocs, Dr. Tony Aubry who is on the job market, and coauthor @neuromanonyc.bsky.social Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Antipsychotics is often used to suppress hyper-aggression. Does it really suppress aggression or just cause sedation? Antipsychotics targets dopamine receptors. Our new study revealed that dopamine modulates aggression based on animals' fighting experience. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are now accepting applications for 2025 Connexins! This is an in person symposium for senior graduate students to share their works with the NYU neuroscience community. Please RT!!! wp.nyu.edu/connexins/

First post on Bluesky!✨ (1/7) Far-red dopamine sensor is coming! Excited to introduce our chemigenetic DA sensor, HaloDA1.0! #Dopamine #FarRedSensors, #GRAB www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

A background in physics, and his own curiosity, have helped Dmitry Rinberg tackle the complexities of the neuroscience of smell. More on Rinberg sniffing out the mysteries of olfaction. By Lina Zeldovich www.thetransmitter.org/olfaction/sn...

Hey #ACNP2024 attendees, UAB Neurobiology is looking to recruit 4 faculty in the areas of addiction neuroscience, iPSC/organoids, and neurodevelopmental disorders. All searches are open rank. Specific ads are forthcoming, but you can also apply at this link! uab.peopleadmin.com/postings/18636

Lovely dispatch on our latest @currentbiology.bsky.social paper on the rat pup transport response. Thanks Duncan Leitch @polyodon.bsky.social n.bsky.social and J Schwarz for the thoughtful summary @mblscience.bsky.social @sidb-edinburgh.bsky.social @edinunineuro.bsky.social tinyurl.com/22d7y6n6

The latest paper from the Shea Lab is out today online. Here @anowlan.bsky.social shows that responses to sound in the auditory cortex merge with olfactory information via the basal amygdala. This is likely an important pathway for maternal behavior www.cell.com/current-biol...
