Incredibly proud of my graduate mentor…
Congrats to Mark on receiving the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Sleep Research Society!! Well-deserved indeed.
Postdoc opportunity in a great new lab here at Wyoming: come study the mechanisms underlying psychedelics and their efficacy in treating alcohol use disorder with Dr. Alex French

A paper is out today with x-less Jiaman Dai. This paper took five years in the make. Many thanks to all lab members @ https://t.co/JV48j1RqZx , and https://t.co/ILRxUfyOXZ for help with two-photon microscope set-up and training, with @joshtrachtenberg. Thanks @NIMHgov for funding.
In this paper Dai and Sun show that two small subsets
of responsive primary neurons are
modulated differently by TEC learning:
sensory neurons become less responsive
to whisker stimuli, while contextual
neurons gain responsiveness to whisker
stimuli. These modulations are reverted
by administering a nicotinic receptor
antagonist during training, which also
disrupts learning performance.
Here's Madison at the poster session with our associate editors Aarti Jagannath @aartijagannath, Gerben van Ooijen @vanOoijenLab and Jonathan Lipton. #npjbts

For centuries, the consensus has been that our dreams cause the twitches we make during sleep. What if it’s the other way around? https://t.co/QvE5r0bIpF
