Excited to share new research from our lab in final published form! We uncovered neuropeptide mechanisms linking alcohol drinking and negative emotional hyperarousal through BNST neuronal excitability.

We're thrilled to share the lab's first preprint- on CRF neurons, hypocretin/orexin signaling, and BNST neurophysiology in excess alcohol drinking and withdrawal-enhanced anxiety behavior! A collaborative effort with @JulieKauer75377 and @AnneVassalli, led by postdoc Dr. Yihe Ma
New preprint! We identified Vipr2-expressing BNST neurons as a distinct population of the oval nucleus that promotes feeding, is activated by food restriction, is non-overlapping with appetite-suppressing PKC delta neurons, and projects to hypothalamus. https://t.co/CXINS9jJtE
We’re excited to share our new preprint from the lab! PhD student @armorningstar_ investigated how Early Life Stress shapes sex-specific vulnerability to alcohol behavioral sensitivity, alcohol drinking, and alcohol's effects on social behaviors: https://t.co/Gfk0X1wLEk
Major congratulations to Giardino Lab postdoc Dr. Brittany Bush who is a 2024 HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow!! Brittany will study sex differences in the neural basis of interactions between stress, sleep, and addiction. https://t.co/cynTHWNgo5

The Giardino Lab welcomes new postdoc Dr. Ivy Hoang @ivybhoang to our group. Ivy's PhD work focused on hypothalamic-midbrain circuitry in learning and methamphetamine's effects on decision-making. Welcome to Stanford, Ivy!
Congrats to lab undergrad Liv L. on a successful NeURO summer project poster presentation! With excellent mentorship from @stanfordneurds PhD student @armorningstar_ . We're excited to see Liv's senior Honors thesis in Biology come to fruition in the months ahead. @StanfordBrain
#StanfordBiosciences is comprised of 14 home programs. In our #HomeProgramSeries we will be taking a peek at the different departments. Swipe ➡️ to learn about our #Neurosciences program and faculty. For a #DeepDive visit their website:https://t.co/loeZcVlKMa
The lab celebrates Isaac Kandil for successful completion of his Biology Honors thesis project and symposium presentation. In the coming weeks, Isaac will graduate and start a new position with @SachinPatelLab in Chicago. Congrats!
The Giardino Lab is presenting 3 posters at the @StanfordBrain Wu Tsai Neurosciences retreat today! Check out our work on early life stress, extended amygdala circuits, sex differences, alcohol drinking, and feeding from @armorningstar_ (H2), Ethan (D2), and Isaac (C2)
Wu Tsai Neuro is seeking applications for the 2024 @Stanford Undergraduate Neuroscience Research Opportunity (NeURO)!
Learn more and apply by Feb 9, 2024: https://t.co/2Y0U06REQq
Applications for summer undergraduate research fellowships through @StanfordMCHRI's Diversity, Respect, and Inclusion are Vital for Excellence (DRIVE) program are now open: https://t.co/k0PsJxuLuX
Today (Tues) afternoon at SfN, postdoc Yihe Ma presents her project at poster board #PP16! Come by from 1-5pm if you’re interested in the extended amygdala, neuropeptides, alcohol, anxiety, sex differences, and electrophysiology.
The Giardino Lab welcomes new member Ethan Rogers to our group in the position of Life Sciences Research Professional. Ethan comes to us from the Ikuko Smith lab at UC Santa Barbara where he performed in vivo 2-photon imaging from the visual cortex of mice. Welcome Ethan!
Learn about our amazing graduate programs & get advice on the application process! Our virtual event includes a Q&A panel with current PhD students & break-out rooms focusing on Personal Statements, Interviews, student life & more. @StanfordMed
