How does the brain decide what’s dangerous — and what’s safe - after just one experience? 🧠 In our latest study, we developed a single-episode Differential Signaled Active Avoidance (DSAA) paradigm to separate acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval of avoidance memory.

Emotional memories persist because the prefrontal cortex engages distinct protein synthesis programs to store memories and to update them during retrieval. Read more in our latest work: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

We @ShresthaLab enjoyed a hearty home-cooked meal (plus Secret Santa, ping-pong, and Bingo to add to the fun) to celebrate the holiday season, especially as we near our lab’s 5-year birthday! 🎉 Wishing you and your (lab) families a joyful holiday break.

I’m excited to share our latest work examining why stress-related anxiety is so common in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting ~1 in 6,000 individuals worldwide. rdcu.be/eVkaG

It was my pleasure to host our NBB seminar speaker, Dr Dayu Lin @moccalin last Thursday. What a genuinely remarkable scientist, speaker and science communicator! Her seminar on Neuroplasticity underlying parenthood was exemplarily lucid and appreciated by all. 🙌

Warm welcome to our incoming PhD students—especially our former lab manager, Andrew Gallagher, and rotation student, Pat Wertimer! Until this summer, Pat was a lab technician in the Heintz lab @RockefellerUniv, where I completed my PhD. In a way, a full circle moment. :)

We are very excited to start the new semester and greet our new graduate students! Please help us give them a warm welcome!

Our talented undergraduate RA, Amber Wilson, was awarded the Frances Velay Women in Science Fellowship this summer to investigate the neural mechanisms of avoidance learning and memory in the medial prefrontal cortex. Check out her interview here! youtube.com/watch?v=BYcvW8…
