Preprint 🚨 ‼️ Stress links memories across days - a joyous and productive collaboration with the Cai lab with plenty more coming! @Simon97070428 @aa_fenton @denisejcai biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Getting the old band back together. ⁦@aa_fenton⁩ ⁦@FentonLab⁩

Pre-print four our latest work is out! We use a photoswitchable #PROTAC as a tool to control synaptic function in mouse brain slices. @DirkTrauner @CG_JOU @aa_fenton @xmr128 Could be used to study and even manipulate memories! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Preprint alert!! We used ⭐️ PHOTACS⭐️, a new strategy to degrade proteins with light 💡in hippocampal tissue! A very fun collaboration with @tongil_ko @DirkTrauner @FentonLab @aa_fenton biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Good morning from #SfN22. Optogenetics is powerful but we don’t always know the real effects on neurons. Claudia Joy in @aa_fenton lab recorded during stimulation, showing that neurons are variably activated - and develop anticorrelated activity - supporting task representations.

What can learning to focus do for your brain? @ain_chung @cg_jou @DinoDvorak @EliottLevy @AlexGrau92 and Nida, an intrepid team of hero neurobiologists focused on finding out. We followed the data that surprised at almost every turn. Proud of y'all rdcu.be/cBayM

Einstein's @KamranKhodakhah Ph.D., co authored a opinion piece in the journal Neuron together with @annmclemens and @aa_fenton on what defines academic success and how it can be achieved. Read more at bit.ly/3vZluBN #phdlife #phd #edu

Congrats @GarrettJBlair! Can't wait to have you!

Newest paper from the lab out on Cell Reports 🥳 congrats @DinoDvorak @ain_chung @NcogEunHyePark @aa_fenton !

We have an open R01-funded postdoc position to study cortical circuit mechanisms of computation and perception in behaving mice using volumetric 2P imaging and optical perturbation approaches like multiphoton ablation and 2P optogenetics. Contact speron@nyu.edu. Please RT :)

Packing for @MBLScience wohooo!

The RU MIND Network will be having its inaugural event featuring Dr. André Fenton @aa_fenton this Friday, April 23 from 12-1:30 PM EST, followed by a Q&A and Networking opportunities. Click the link below to RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #research @FentonLab @RutgersU_News

We found PKMz is differently expressed in different hippocampal pathways after learning. Can you guess where we found elevated expression? 😎
