Excited to share our preprint, the work I’ve done in Golshani lab @pgolshani. Using UCLA Miniscope, I explored NAc neural representation of social interaction and identified representational deficit in Cntnap2 KO mice. More exciting results are coming! Stay tuned.

Even if you can't read Chinese, you might recognize this logo. Why? Because it's the name of the #1 app on the U.S. app store, Xiaohongshu, a Chinese app that ordinary Americans are downloading en masse in anticipation of TikTok being banned. So, what is 小红书？ A thread 🧵:

We are thrilled to share a new study from the lab on the neural mechanism of helping behavior. Humans and animals exhibit helping behavior toward others in need. In this study, we report an intriguing form of helping behavior that an individual exhibits toward others experiencing pain, and uncover the role of the anterior cingulate cortex in encoding and controlling this behavior. @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

Not feel comfortable to let strangers enter my apt when I'm not home. We scheduled inspection by @LADBS_ and shifted my entire work to previous weekend. After waiting for hours, they said they would not come. Not just once. Not everyone is as free as you guys. Shame on @LADBS_ !

So excited about our new preprint by Pingping Zhao and colleagues on cell-type specific and long-term stability of social representations in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex! Using miniaturized microscopy and we discover destabilized activity in an autism model.

@karina_keus Actually I refused to pay and waited for them to fix their mistake. I finally paid copay.

@PingpingION Did you get your $ back? I once had to file a retroactive amendment to my referral once I had some tests done at UCLA and not the UCLA student center. I know of others in our department who were told after the fact that they had unwittingly never been enrolled in health insurance

I’ll never forget the sense of fear I had when I went to get a flu shot at CVS and they told me my health insurance had been terminated. Turns out the same UCLA Dept forgot to pay my graduate tuition fees. Very glad I didn’t find out an expensive ER visit or worse.

@karina_keus Fortunately, yes. I did enrollment. HR said that was something wrong at UCPath. As I understood, UCPath said there was some wrong at HealthNet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

However the most telling part of this whole saga is that when I told the administration that I needed to be paid to have a bed to sleep on, it was suggested that I get a loan through UCLA - because of course the answer is to dive deeper into UCLA financials

@karina_keus I went to ER back in March and got two bills, $1490+$565. I found out that I didn't have insurance! Can I sue the department? They finally fixed it. But it's really painful to work with them, contract, insurance, salary, visa, I have to send angry email every time.

With temperatures continuing to rise throughout the week, #LADWP crews are ready to respond to any outages in the area, should they occur. Stay cool & stay safe, LA! #LAHeat #BePrepared
LA City Emergency Management Department (EMD)@ReadyLA

As of 9AM, @NWSLosAngeles extends it's advisory to late THURSDAY (7/27) for most LA City non-coastals, citing very hot temperatures (100+) in SF Valley & nearby. Warm overnight lows ~70 offer little reprieve from heat all week. LA City Cooling Center info: Emergency.LACity.gov/Updates

With much gratitude and excitement, I here announce that I will start my own lab @UVA Dept. of Neurosci. @uvaneuro this September! It takes a village to land a TT faculty job and thank y'all for helping me achieve this dream of mine. Look out for the Lu lab & more OPC/glia news!

@doctorpoe Thank you so much, Gina! The surgery went well. Now she just needs time for recovery.

@PingpingION Im so sorry you cannot be with your mother right now, Pingping. Sometimes the world feels far too big. I’ll pray for your mom and your speedy reunion with her. May she sense your love right now through the distance to her heart.

I'm in US and mom is in surgery in Shanghai. It's impossible to go back immediately. I wish I had a sibling. At this moment, I think those who proposed stupid single child policy in China should be sentenced to death.

@hubermanlab @HynesDm @UCLA That’s why it’s called your beauty sleep: renewing muscle, bone, your circulatory system, and organs, including your skin. Take a before and after photo of yourself and see if you notice dewier skin and healthier complexion then imagine how much happier your other organs are too.

Unless you are sick, recovering from injury, a teen or a child/baby, sleeping more than 9hrs per night may be reflective of an underlying condition. More on optimal timing and duration of sleep on the Huberman Lab Podcast out now w/Dr Gina Poe of @UCLA hubermanlab.com/dr-gina-poe-us…
