Stuber Lab at the Center for the Neurobiology of Addiction, Pain, and Emotion at the University of Washington. We study the biological basis of motivation.
So I built a small tool that merges Allen CCFv3 with the traditional bregma-relative coordinate system (calibrated with Paxinos & Franklin's Atlas). Click any coronal or sagittal section, and get coordinates instantly.

Hope it saves someone a headache 🐭
Thrilled to share our work out in @Nature! Linking flexibility modeling, single-cell imaging, and targeted optogenetics allowed us to characterize how some prefrontal neurons, and mPFC-VTA neurons in particular, drive contingency degradation behavior. https://t.co/Dkk32XwGtX
New lab preprint! Can we study conscious perception of gut sensations in mice to reveal its neuronal basis? Can we train mice to report their gut sensations? Omer Rafael and Stav Shtiglitz in the lab teamed up to discover that…YES! Thread…1/6 https://t.co/WgC3EMkL0m
@canna_brain@AlexBerenson all these hot takes on cannabis this week seem more like a targeted campaign to attempt to change public perception. Very few have any scientific backing.
Hi everyone. We haven't been too active on here lately (more on that soon), but we have still been doing some great science. The latest paper from our lab, led by the exceptionally talented @YajunXie is finally out at @NatureNeuro! Short summary below... https://t.co/xm5HzS0Jnv
The UW NAPE Center will host a free, week-long imaging workshop focusing on deep-brain single- and multi-photon functional imaging this Fall (Sept. 15-19). Register & more info here: https://t.co/nGBdANOpdj
Thrilled to announce that our paper is now finally out! 🎉We combine scRNAseq, 2p imaging, ephys, and behavior to understand the role of lateral septal Nts neurons in opioid withdrawal. Curious about the septum and addiction? Give it a read👇

Big congrats to @aluskin@mbruchas et al., on their paper on circuits controlling LC neurons. Lots of interesting data on the peri-LC cell types, connectivity, and function to dig into here.
Several positions open at UW (including in my lab) for this awesome program- importantly, students from nearby colleges/universities are welcome to apply (not just students at host schools)!
Thrilled to share our new paper in @Nature - "Understanding the neural code of stress to control anhedonia." A wonderful team effort with @_fxia, @VFascianelli and @StefanoFusi2. Check out the thread below.

Pls Chk out the lab's recent work from Eric Zhang (not on X), now in press & pre-printed. "Dentate Gyrus Norepinephrine Ramping Facilitates Aversive Contextual Processing". Thanks to @yulonglilab for the early collab using GRAB-NE2m.
