High-throughput functional analysis of autism genes in zebrafish identifies convergence in dopaminergic and neuroimmune pathways https://t.co/aqj7zwJl2s
Exciting new research update from 2018 One Mind @JanssenUS Rising Star Awardee Dr. Susanne Ahmari sheds light on brain activity in #BingeEating disorder and uncovers a potential treatment target. Congrats @ahmari_lab! Read more: https://t.co/oukm27K7vZ
Our latest! Led by @nathanCSharris & Sam Bates we ask: How do experiences modify neuronal gene expression to drive plasticity? We find that multiple stimulus features can be encoded in the gene expression program of a single sensory neuron.. 1/13

1/ 🧵I’m excited to announce new work from the Clowney lab, led by @mariaahmedch. Maria re-engineered the neuronal constituents and connectivity of an “expansion layer” to ask how quantitative properties of circuit wiring structure perception. https://t.co/cD17hx5sJ8
New science from Shea Lab: "Selective deletion of Methyl CpG binding protein 2 from parvalbumin interneurons in the auditory cortex delays the onset of maternal retrieval in mice" by @dcarrot2 with a major assist from @PagliaroAlexa https://t.co/UfjdC3mU8n
#Oxytocin—a hormone long considered essential to social bonding—may not be as critical as originally thought. “While oxytocin has been considered ‘Love Potion #9,’ it seems that potions 1 thru 8 might be sufficient,” Dr. Devanand Manoli (@LabManoli) says. https://t.co/uZ6UqgUBhR
.@labManoli is calling the role of #oxytocin into question. In a new study with @BalesLab and @Shah_Laboratory, they showed prairie voles without oxytocin receptors can bond, give birth, and feed their young https://t.co/MSBStuRNV8
@UCSF#UCSFWeill
Thought-provoking research from 2021 One Mind @JanssenUS Rising Star Awardee Dr. Devanand Manoli suggests that it may be time to reevaluate long-held hypotheses about the role of oxytocin in some forms of social attachment. Congrats, @LabManoli! Read more:

Oxytocin receptor is not required for social attachment in prairie voles https://t.co/8ppzcoP0ud The tragedy of Science-the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact (Huxley?). Been on the other side and know how much it stinks-but this is why we do science!
Prairie voles can form pair-bonds and rear pups without oxytocin receptor signaling, contrary to decades of research stating otherwise.

@LabManoli@Shah_Laboratory
Excited to share my lab’s new paper out today @CellCellPress.
"Touch neurons underlying dopaminergic pleasurable touch and sexual receptivity"
Congratulations to this amazing team of scientists.
