In a new study by @ContetLab, researchers have discovered that an experimental, clinical-stage antidepressant drug can also reverse excessive alcohol intake in animal models of alcohol use disorder https://t.co/P83XAM1XvN @npp_journal

Thrilled to share the preprint of our investigation of parasubthalamic neurons in the control of feeding initiation - led with brio by Jeff Dunning!

@superkash Parasubthalamic nucleus! Twice more pubs today than 8 years ago but number is still low. Been fun to see interest grow and new functions uncovered!

[Tallie Z Baram @z_baram]

Thrilled to share @ScienceMagazine piece, a 10 yr obsession: developing brains get signals from the environment that shape emotional circuit maturation & impact mental health. What signals? which ones are 'bad'? how do they influence circuit refinement? https://t.co/bHy407Ffyp

Amazing study. And great results about the understudied parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN)

[Contet Lab @ContetLab]

@AmynahPradhan @WUSTL_AnesRsrch @UHSPedu @PsychiatryUic Congratulations Amynah!! Super happy for you - and your future colleagues!!

[Contet Lab @ContetLab]

@AmyLasek Fantastic! Congratulations Amy!!!

[Matt Carter @__Matt_Carter__]

Happy to share our final published @eLife article characterizing the role of the parasubthalamic nucleus (PSTN) in food intake! Work from 10 @WilliamsCollege students including @GraceKromm and @OliviaBarnhill1. And @michael_krashes too!

We are recruiting!
Interested in glia-to-neuron reprogramming as novel cell-based strategy for brain repair? We are looking for a talented postdoc to join our team and decipher the molecular mechanisms underlying lineage reprogramming👇
PleaseRT!

Wednesday is almost over at #WCBR2022 but don’t forget to plan for tomorrow 🤩

I’ll be speaking (again) at 8:30am tomorrow at this fantastic panel! Hope to see you there!

Re-upping this, please Retweet my #AcademicTwitter friends!
We got the grant, there's a bunch of work to be done, happy to hire ASAP if the timing is right - or, towards the end of the year, all good!

[Herman Lab @Herman_lab_UNC]

We are so excited to announce that our #AddictionBiology paper "Sex-specific plasticity in CRF regulation of inhibitory control in central amygdala CRF1 neurons after chronic voluntary alcohol drinking" is now online! #IA2BC #SABV #CRF #CeA

@ContetLab @superkash Also - data from here if you want to look across the other regions we have profiled in human brain: https://t.co/O1lnxmXbk4

[Contet Lab @ContetLab]

@jones_g_parker @superkash @AntoineBesnard_ I found some relevant info in this paper
https://t.co/f5bxUBzwmn
30% of CeA Crh neurons co-express Camk2a, they have spines and project to the SNc/VTA

[Contet Lab @ContetLab]

To all amygdala aficionados out there: what do we know about central amygdala Camk2a+ cells? Camk2a is considered a marker of excitatory cells yet CeA neurons are all inhibitory... Any clue would be great!

[Contet Lab @ContetLab]

@martinowk @superkash great resource, thanks!

[Contet Lab @ContetLab]

@mfmiles thanks! I wish we had that info for the CeA!
