UBC Neuroscience PhD candidate - decision making, acetylcholine

[Jacqueline Ferland, PhD @jmferland]

I am excited to announce that our paper is out in @JAMAPsych https://t.co/vXWDOIkp6U! I started this study before even leaving my PhD position and was made possible by my amazing Co-authors @randalljellis @BettsGD Mason Silvera, Joao de Firmino @cawinstanley @HurdLab

Heavy influences from:
- McCutcheon and Abi-Dargham, 2018
- Moran et al, 2019 (middle right distribution diagrams modified from publication)
- and almost everything that @MenaNeuroLab has ever written
…and many many others

Work in progress…
Consolidating info on projections of #acetylcholine and related neurotransmitters from midbrain ACh nuclei involved in #decisionmaking, which can become maladaptive in #mentalillness and #addiction.
Critiques encouraged! :)

@JoLekkaDing @palmer_becky @TheTweetOfGod @mcrae_devin Ever stop to think about maybe there being a much larger population of vaccinated than unvaccinated Israelis, combined with the fact that the total number of deaths is substantially lower now that vaccinations have been administered to the majority? Ya. Stats not your forté

Group effort for tissue collection at the end of a major experiment. 3 intense days. Cheers!

Using RNA-seq data, researchers identified unique and overlapping molecular signatures between schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Differential activation of immune system components & pathways may drive pathogenesis of the two disorders @PNIRS https://t.co/ACsfxwOfsg

Recent evidence points to a link between depression & #inflammatory factors within the innate and adaptive immune system.

Have you read this week's blog yet? @RachelUTG talks all about the need to investigate the immune system's link to psychosis. With the recently launched PIMS Study, researchers hope to identify new immune-based #treatments to help #psychosis patients https://t.co/b94JPZllTf

It is the day prior to festivus.
Set up your pole, prepare your grievances, rest up for the feats of strength, and if you’re feeling extra festive, put a clock in a bag and nail it to the wall.
May your day tomorrow be filled with a minimal amount of festivus miracles. 🙃

@ClementYChow How have i never tried this. Genius.

@DocHosking Or an appreciative message from your TA? Thanks for taking it easy on me, hope you survive the final bit (and the weather on the other side of the country)
