🚨🚨 To prospective PhD Students (or their mentors): @UMMedNeuro's PhD Program is having a virtual open house on Nov 8th at 5PM EST. This is an opportunity to learn about the program, application process, student life, and meet UMB researchers doing cutting-edge science! 🧠🧬🐁🔬
We are thrilled to announce the post-Covid reboot of the Society for Claustrum Research Annual Meeting. Come hear a great line-up of speakers and share your poster! Please retweet! Registration details here: https://t.co/VvTC8jjgF3
Endocannabinoids are powerful synaptic modulators, but there's so much we don't know about how they signal. Here we show that *postsynaptic synucleins* are required!
Shoutout @YueSunNeuro, @yulonglilab, @SudhofThomas, @BJunDing and the rest of the team!

The Caras Lab wants to hire a lab technician to work on our NIH funded project on the neural circuits that support auditory perception, plasticity, and learning! Ideal for someone looking to gain research experience before grad school.
See https://t.co/6awXtziPfb for details!
Excited to have a new paper out today from data that contributed to Kara’s thesis project in Mathur lab! Thanks @kkc_bbq and @BrianMathur1 for letting me join team thalamus! #teamthalamusforever 🧠🧠🧠

I am happy to announce that I was awarded the @NSF GRFP today! So thankful for all the amazing mentorship and support I've received along the way from @rajtarun@KatherineSavell@BruceHope4@ZavalaLab and others! 👩🏻🔬🧠
Fresh from the oven! Our recent article on the European Journal of Neuroscience, @EJNeuroscience. We showed that alcohol exposure during a period similar to the last months of the gestation stunts the development of multisensory integration.
