Happy to share our last work, where we studied neurons with dopamine receptors in the Central Amygdala upon cocaine intoxication

Opposing effects of rewarding and aversive stimuli on D1 and D2 types of dopamine-sensitive neurons in the central amygdala https://t.co/kGQEhtPyAt

Funded PhD opportunity at @UoBrisPPN for UK applicants of Black African or other Black or mixed Black heritage - collaborative project with @P_Anastasiades & @clembrnrd & me on the neural and molecular underpinnings of negative symptoms in schizophrenia https://t.co/6XtZ5kwFfN

Preprint alert! 🚨

I am glad to finally share part of my PhD thesis as a preprint in @biorxivpreprint https://t.co/Y3pGwFhnfA with @luyten_laura and @TomRBeckers. Here we investigated avoidance acquisition, fear generalization and extinction in male and female rats

[Raaj Gowrishankar @outRaajeous]

Excited to present my work in the @mbruchas lab and visions for my own lab @SinaiBrain on August 27!

[Michelle Jin @Michelle_Jin1]

So excited to have my first project in the @DrChristineAnnD lab finally online! https://t.co/Nyr4DofT2u! Tl;dr: we made an R software package for scalable mapping and (most importantly) analysis and visualization of 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦 brain-wide ensembles.

AI/ML is changing biotech, but image segmentation will always depend on signal quality. Our new paper in @PNASNews presents a robust genetic strategy for brain cell counting that boosts throughput where AI/ML falls short. Check it out! 🧠🔬 https://t.co/V3pr9YCDnc

[Eric Szelenyi @ESzelenyi]

Thank you @uwmnewsroom for covering our latest genetic strategy that helps automate brain cell mapping studies!!!

[Sean Piantadosi @PiantadosiSean]

Happy to share this @ahmari_lab work co-led by myself, @DrLizzieManning and @britt_lynn4, with critical help from @vijay_mkn and @DrJamiePierson!

We investigated how striatal spiny projection neurons contribute to compulsive grooming in Sapap3-KO mice.

@val_tsais Thank you @val_tsais !

[Eric Szelenyi @ESzelenyi]

Behavioral endpoints in academia and industry are in desperate need of new tools to streamline analysis, and accelerate key experimental insights. The SimBA platform developed by @nilssonsro @GoldenNeuron @NastaciaGoodwin is a giant leap towards this goal! Try it out today.

AI advances studies to link animal behavior to brain activity by more rapid, accurate recording & analysis than can be done by human observers. @BioStructureUW @GoldenNeuron @NastaciaGoodwin @nilssonsro @NatureNeuro https://t.co/WphCG2S8G3

We present a platform for behavioral analysis called Simple Behavioral Analysis (SimBA). A sincere thank you to the community for their continued expert feedback and suggestions

If you are a female, whose genes have a stronger hold over your behavior and mind – your dad or mom’s?

Online today, our work in @CellReports @CellPressNews used single-cell brain mapping of X each chromosome-a producer of the most brain genes- in mice for clues.

Check out our new paper published in Scientific Reports, using @DeepLabCut and SimBA @GoldenNeuron to automate behaviour quantification of the balance beam test in an early Parkinson's disease model 🐀

[John Howland @JohnGHowland]

A new paper from the lab led by @IlneBarnard and @TimOnofrychuk published in #eNeuro! We ask the question: does Cannabis smoke exposure impair incidental memory in male rats? https://t.co/NSLQAszM3N 1/4

A gerbil pup’s path to independence 🐹

Very excited to share my first preprint!

So grateful to my amazing mentors Dan Sanes and Catalin Mitelut, and all our co-authors :)
