Enjoyed sharing our lab's research with the community last week!

[UT Dallas Research and Innovation @UTDResearch]

On May 8, 2024, Dr. Catherine Thorn, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at @UT_Dallas, shared her research on Vagus Nerve Stimulation with members of the Preston Rotary Club. She also entertained questions from a very engaged audience.

North Texas is home to some of the brightest minds in the country, and the proof is in the impactful work @UT_Dallas is doing. With this research into PTSD treatment, folks like veterans and survivors of violence will get the treatment they need.

Why does "back to school" require turning my office temp down nearly 10 degrees? 🥶🥶🥶

Congrats to Dr. Camilo Sanchez and Thorn Lab colleagues on their paper out this week in Beh Brain Res! Camilo conducted a heroic longitudinal study characterizing deficits in forelimb motor control in the DJ-1 KO rat model of PD - read more here: https://t.co/ZK0FvDGgCX

Very excited about our new findings by @Jack_Brougher et al., out today in @FrontNeurosci - Rats will self-stimulate for right (but not left) cervical VNS! Weird! https://t.co/c70h02D2Ur

[ThornLabUTD @ThornLab_UTD]

Congratulations to Dr. @Jack_Brougher on his successful PhD thesis defense last Friday! Proud to have him as a Thorn Lab alum, and looking forward to all his future successes!

[ThornLabUTD @ThornLab_UTD]

Congratulations to @Ching0__0 and the rest of the Thorn Lab team on the new paper out today in @SciReports! Cool story about alpha-2 noradrenergic signaling in VNS-driven cortical plasticity. Check it out: https://t.co/cwAyUwChEz

UTD is looking for new Neuroscience faculty to join our awesome department! Apply Now! https://t.co/fH4jcUDkXQ

Just wanted to take a moment to recognize that #txlege just made it impossible to recruit and retain medical and scientific talent in TX. A disaster for economy & innovation, and of course public health.

[ThornLabUTD @ThornLab_UTD]

@anne_churchland I didn't find data to answer your question, but I did find this article about course-related CTs - importantly, with grading rubric! https://t.co/5Bo7Sisnji

[ThornLabUTD @ThornLab_UTD]

@anne_churchland Personally, I hate them. Partly b/c I'm not much of a talker, but mostly-and others have made this point better-b/c of the lack of clear standards by which a candidate is being judged.
