π Exciting times at Tadross Lab! 6 years of hard work shines at #SFN23 with 9 posters & a talk. Discover how we're revolutionizing pharmaceuticals with cell-specific drugs. If you want these BRAIN-Initiative tools, we are happy to collaborate! https://t.co/moHrvjHRQ4
Research at SfN:
Sunday afternoon KK7 @DillonMcGovern1 will present his research on VTA circuits and cell-types mediating consequences of stress
Tuesday morning SS21 @EmilyDPrevost will present her research on VTA mu opioid receptor cell-types and fentanyl exposure
New pre-print led by @EmilyDPrevost identifying the Monosynaptic inputs to ventral tegmental area glutamate and GABA co-transmitting neurons https://t.co/tUH6o1vWoX
Pre-print of my first project in grad school π BNST GABA neurons are necessary for foraging changes in mice following an innate, but not robotic, predator threat. Thank you to Alex Barker, @EmilyDPrevost, @DillonMcGovern1, @zpkilpat, and my grad advisor @NeuronRoot
Ecstatic that Dr. Marisela Morales is a 2023 WCBR Pioneer. She exemplifies exemplary science, steadfast mentoring and commitment to diversity - even in the VTA! Also, a shout out to @DavidBarker_PhD and David Root for outstanding presentations #WCBR2023
Meet 3MT finalist: Dillon McGovern β he studies the neurochemistry of stress and will be discussing PTSD and the idea of potentially immunizing the brain to build stress resistance before trauma occurs.
New research from @DillonMcGovern1 and @EmilyDPrevost on functions and circuits of VTA glutamate neuron subtypes at today's winter brain poster session
Hiring: we will have an opening position for a Professional Research Assistant/Lab Manager soon.
Also, our lab welcomes undergraduate students at the @CUPsychandNeuro and @CUBoulderBN who want to gain expertise on neural circuit techniques and mouse behavioral testing.
New pre-print led by @DillonMcGovern1@ampolter@anni3_ly@EmilyDPrevost and @ConnorMcNulty_ showing that a subset of VTA glutamate neurons establish a mu-opioid receptor gated circuit to mesolimbic dopamine neurons and participate in opioid-seeking behavior
Thanks to everyone who came to my poster today at #SfN2022! Many great questions, suggestions, and potential collaborations. You all made my first conference a fantastic experience. Check out other Root Lab posters this week!
