Our paper is now online in eNeuro! This story is about how prolonged stressful experiences can affect the morphology of astrocytes and their relationship with the neurons.
Here's to the starry cells of the brain!

Had a fantastic first Winter Brain! The people, the science, the mountains!!! Thanks for organizing the panel @veronikakondev

[Veronika Kondev, PhD @veronikakondev]

Another winter brain in the books! Thanks to Laura & Julia for organizing a great panel & @SaptarnabN Miguel & Anthony for loving endocannabinoids with me :D

📜📜📜: New lab paper many years in the making! BLA interneuron connectivity and function across fear conditioning and extinction….

Thanks to the whole lab for getting it across the finish line🍸 https://t.co/CE5zyRF9HR

New preprint alert!🚨

Mice on high-fat diet since adolescence show poor memory and altered in vivo spine dynamics - both rescued with time-restricted feeding for 4 weeks!

Grateful to my postdoc mentor Freddy and our wonderful collaborators! 1/2

It's finally out in @jclinicalinvest. We study the role of 2AG depletion in fear generalization and associated prefrontal neuronal activity. Congrats to the X-cluded Luis E Rosas-Vidal, @SachinPatelLab and everyone on the team! https://t.co/YVqVeY7B1J

[Saptarnab Naskar @SaptarnabN]

Excited to share this preprint and super happy to have worked alongside twitterless Luis-E Rosas Vidal and @SachinPatelLab for this study. Shout out to all the incredible contributors! @MayoOnTheBrain @

✨ Announcing a new glutamate indicator - iGluSnFR4! ✨

Launched as a pair, iGLuSnFR4s and iGluSnFR4f have high-sensitivity and fast activation/deactivation for recording synapses.

Our new study from
@DulacLab led by the amazing @dingliuabc. We identify the neural circuit that responds to social isolation consisting two distinct neuronal populations. We also demonstrate that lack of touch leads to emergence of social need.

Ever wondered how cannabis consumption made you anxious/panic? Check out this preprint that sheds light on it! Thoroughly enjoyed working through this rollercoaster of a project!! Thanks @SachinPatelLab , @farhana_yasmn
and Luis Rosas for the opportunity to work on this.

[Sachin Patel @SachinPatelLab]

If you’re interested in understanding how cannabis can increase anxiety and cause panic reactions in some people, this paper might help👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾
