Updated preprint! How does our prefrontal cortex help us avoid threats? Here @michaelgongwer and @casklune show that three classes of mPFC projection neurons have specialized roles in threat avoidance. 1/n🧵https://t.co/bi2a088wl3

@ramirezneurosci @Megha_Sehgal_10 @FordFoundation @svmahler @alcinojsilva @ExoNeuro Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Social interaction difficulties is a key characteristic of Autism Spectrum Condition… But really hard to reliably assess in mice. Here’s a novel assay in head-fixed mice from Portera-Cailliau lab and talented Phd candidate Trishala Chari https://t.co/CSvJOJTjmk

Real talk. Say what you want about our unions’ demands but @UofCalifornia showed up an hour late to the bargaining table today after fully canceling bargaining sessions yesterday. When they say they are bargaining in good faith, that’s a *bold face lie*

@Ananya_MC @alcinojsilva @AllenInstitute Congrats, Ananya!! So excited for you!

[Zachary Zeidler, PhD @BrainOfZedZed]

Do you do behavior?
Do you use markerless pose tracking? (eg @DeepLabCut)
Do you want to reliably reproduce and automate your analysis (especially freezing)?
New no-code MATLAB app just dropped 🔥 My first postdoc paper from @ladenardo lab, with lead @cjgabrie28 and many others!

[Laura DeNardo @ladenardo]

New paper from the lab! @cjgabrie28, @BrainOfZedZed and Benita Jin developed BehaviorDEPOT, an open source software program for behavioral analysis based on markerless pose tracking (1/n) https://t.co/PbwXD6GWbh

[Laura DeNardo @ladenardo]

New review together with @DeBiaseLM! This represents the beginning of an exciting collaboration between authors @SaraBlagburn and @MegSChappell. Looking forward to seeing what they go on to discover about how microglia regulate developing mPFC circuits! https://t.co/40s5e5todc

A thread🧵

[Student Researchers United-UAW @sruuaw]

BREAKING: UC agrees to recognize SRU-UAW in its entirety! This historic victory was brought about by the tireless efforts of thousands of SRs who organized to win a union & a direct response to our massive Strike Authorization Vote. Now let’s win a strong contract for all SRs!

[UCLA Neurology @UCLANeurology]

Congratulations to Roy McReynolds, graduate researcher of @HinmanLabUCLA, on receiving the Black Men's Brain Health Fellowship @BrainHealth4Men! This transformative award will support Roy's work on genes driving astrocyte morphology in tauopathy Alzheimer's Diversity.
