First publication from my post-bac at NIDA came out today! https://t.co/NaZYJbsGfZ Titled “Different effects of peer-sex on operant responding for social interaction and striatal dopamine activity”
Shaham lab posters @SfNtweets Tues 1-5pm (RR7-RR11): we will present 5 posters on opioid maintenance using Oprm1-Cre knockin rats, claustrum role in incubation, dopamine & social reward, new opioid negative reinforcement model & new voluntary abstinence model using wheel running
Happy grad school decision day!! I’m happy to announce that this fall I’ll be starting my Ph.D in neuroscience with @GradSchoolSinai@SinaiBrain! Thank you to all of my mentors who have helped me get here (especially @yavinshaham @davidjreiner), I’m excited for this next chapter!
Paper of the week: our new @SfNJournals paper (co-1st au @davidjreiner & @smclaypool) on dissociable roles of projections from anterior insula & prelimbic cortex to piriform cortex in relapse to fentanyl seeking versus taking after voluntary abstinence

I had an amazing time at the inaugural @cshlcourses High Throughput Neuroanatomy course these past 10 days! Feeling very grateful to have learned some really cool science from some really cool scientists (and look how pretty my barcoded neurons were!)
Paper of the week: excellent @SfNJournals paper of our lab members (1st au @smclaypool, senior au @davidjreiner) showing lack of causal roles of cannabinoid & dopamine neurotransmission in orbitofrontal & piriform cortex in fentanyl relapse in rats
