Congratulations to Karl Deisseroth, winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. The @StanfordMed & @StanfordEng professor of bioengineering and of psychiatry and behavioral sciences is a pioneering developer of optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control the behavior of cells.
Our lab was awarded a 3 year Brain Initiative R21 to develop a pipeline for predicting where to cage neuropeptides. Looking for a postdoc with expertise in docking and cell culture. (See NIH reporter link in comments for more details). Please share!
We're hiring! Postdoc position to study the neural control of reaching using high-density multi-area electrophysiology. 5 years of funding, great collaborative environment. Please share with anyone who may be interested. For details, see: https://t.co/jzKnJYv9eG
Excited to share the first of @A_Albeely's work on characterizing a model of vaped cannabis withdrawal! In addition to being the first study to look at cannabis vapor, behavioral network analyses are used to characterize withdrawal for the first time! https://t.co/A9o4KE424p
I am recruiting an exceptional postdoc to join my lab at UC Irvine. Must be a productive researcher with experience in functional neuroimaging, network neuroscience, AI/ML, who is interested in aging, neuropsychiatric or neurodegenerative illness.

Deep sleep may be one of the brain’s most powerful anti-anxiety tools.
Researchers identified a sleep-active circuit linking the parafacial zone, parabrachial nucleus, and BNST that suppresses stress-related signaling during slow-wave sleep and prevents anxiety-like behavior. #SleepScience #Neuroscience #MentalHealth
