@_DrOctothorpe_@UTDallasNews Great news Puja! Congratulations! Well deserved! Looking forward to all the wonderful science coming our way! Best wishes!
My reading of today's Nature paper showing that the ability of LSD and psilocin to induce cortical plasticity is 5-HT2A-dependent while last week's Nature Neuroscience paper showed hippocampal plasticity was 5-HT2A independent/TrkB dependent.
Memories from long ago are thought to exist in a different part of your brain than new memories. 🤔🧠
My work with @andrewtoader suggests a new role for the anteromedial (AM) thalamus in selecting & stabilizing memories into long-term storage! 🧵1/7

@KrishnanYamuna @RockefellerUniv The picture of a curious eye is posing a million questions! The many circles and their boundaries reveal a large unknown world yet to be explored. We heard you, when you said: “I don’t care, my horizon is limitless.” Thank you for excavating/sharing that precious world with us!
Another amazing discovery from the lab of Priya Rajasethupathy @RockefellerUniv: finding a genetic mechanism for how paying attention works. On-topic science for our distracted world.
