📢📍The Martínez-Rivera Lab focused on (Mal)adaptive & Neurobehavioral Plasticity is opening this summer/fall at @UFNeuroscience@UFMBI. We'll be hiring at all levels, please share! Academia might not be perfect, but it gave me purpose in life. 🙌🏽 💫💎☀️🎉🐊
Deadline fast approaching! ACNP Travel Award Applications are open for the ACNP 65th Annual Meeting: January 10-13, 2027, San Diego, California. Deadline to Submit is May 14, 2026, at 5:00 pm Central. https://t.co/tciCGq4ELQ #ACNP2027#travelawards
It was a full house Monday for a Lunch & Learn providing the latest info on MBI Molecular Biology Core upgrades, including new technology, services & expertise. Drs. Eduardo Candelario-Jalil & Freddyson Martínez-Rivera delved into how these resources support neuro research at UF.
On Saturday, the MBI welcomed over 30 homeschool students from across Florida for a Brain Awareness Week celebration led by @NcfSfn volunteers.
Students enjoyed art projects, lab tours, Q&A sessions with researchers & bike helmet giveaways.

OUT NOW! Here, researchers @GylesTrevonn@ericMparise@angelica_atb, et al. provide insight into gene networks contributing to #Antidepressant non-response & highlight a mechanistic framework for modeling antidepressant resistance in preclinical systems👉https://t.co/3W6Ui35o5F
Congratulations to MBI researcher @DrNancyPadilla, who recently received the 2026 @UFMedicine Rising Star Researcher in Basic Science Award! Learn more about her research by watching this short video. @UFNeuroscience
Good morning, it’s #GatorNationGivingDay! For the next 24 hours, Gators everywhere are coming together to make an impact.
Thanks to generous donors, gifts made to the MBI today will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $3,000, to support our mission: https://t.co/fxLXLfjZsF
Curious how astrocytes in the PFC regulate the negative effects of stress?
Read our preprint on Biorxiv now:

So excited to start my astrocyte journey with @holtlm90 & @EricJNestler!! 🧠
PS: hear all about it at Winter Brain this Sunday (5-7pm).
Really excited to announce that the Holt lab will be starting in January 2026 @CSARtemplemed@katztemplemed! Interested in the role of gene regulation, astrocytes, and addiction? I'm hiring at all positions! DM or email me! https://t.co/j7L88f7ocK
Thrilled to wrap up the year and my postdoc work in the Nester lab with this publication 🥳! We show that astrocytic CREB regulates astrocyte calcium and D1-MSN activity to drive behavioral response to cocaine. https://t.co/WX01yKEG2p
Please see this new publication by Leanne Holt and colleagues in @ScienceAdv that defines a role for CREB, acting within astrocytes of the nucleus accumbens, to control the activity of medium spiny neurons and consequently behavioral responses to cocaine. https://t.co/WqtaoZLkx5
(1/6) We have a new paper out in #eNeuro!
How does the brain’s reward processing change across social contexts? We mapped brain activity (cFos) & found that social context reshapes how reward circuits are coordinated🐭🏆
