Think I can submit this as cover art for the next incubation of cocaine craving paper?

We have lots of posters at #SFN2023 starting with former lab STAR-PREP Potsbac and current @UMMedNeuro PhD student Isaiah Williamson this morning! Check out his research at NN17.

Regretting that I can't be at #SfN23 this year to see these posters.

📢📍The Martínez-Rivera Lab focused on (Mal)adaptive & Neurobehavioral Plasticity is opening this summer/fall at @UFNeuroscience @UFMBI. We'll be hiring at all levels, please share! Academia might not be perfect, but it gave me purpose in life. 🙌🏽 💫💎☀️🎉🐊

Always wondered if there is a counterpart for c-fos...Seems like a much needed tool! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Don’t forget to sign up for our pre symposium event! (there will be food!!) - use the link below for more information

We are proud to share a paper by Sam Yeh and colleagues that just when online in @BiologicalPsyc1. We achieved a long-sought-after goal of mapping ∆FOSB binding genome-wide in nucleus accumbens (NAc) after cocaine administration by use of CUT&RUN-seq. @SinaiBrain

Special issue of the week: @PsychopharmEBPS special issue on "conditioned determinants of reward seeking: a tribute to Dr. Nadia Chaudhri." The issue includes excellent reviews & research papers of former mentors, colleagues & students of @DrNadiaChaudhri link.springer.com/journal/213/vo…

Just received some amazing news that my students, Bo Sortman and Samantha Rakela, placed 1st and 2nd at the NCFSfN chapter poster competition! They've been working incredibly hard, and it's an honor to work with such talented and dedicated individuals. Congrats, Bo and Samantha!

We are hiring a Research Specialist with experience in behavior. Projects are mainly addiction mitochondria studies. Opportunities to learn new skills including molecular, circuit, imaging tools. We are a supportive and inclusive group! umb.taleo.net/careersection/…

Our next EBPS meeting is at Mannheim (8/22-to-25). Our meetings are fun, collegial, & have great symposia & lectures. Please submit symposium proposals by Feb 6 We look forward to see you at #EBPS2023 Yavin & @Flagel_Lab (president-elect). Please RT forms.gle/529QTNfWDHUuu5…

Christmas paper: excellent @npp_journal paper of @SergeAhmed lab showing that punishment suppression of drug intake changes with punishment experience, suggesting that punishment resistance, a common measure of compulsive drug use, is not a stable trait pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34429520/

Da-Ting Lin lab & my lab are looking for a postdoc to conduct research on brain mechanisms of drug choice & relapse in rodent models. We combine neural activity recording using Miniscope calcium imaging & behavior mapping using deep learning. Please RT pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34921779/

Paper of the week: excellent @npp_journal paper of @NathanJMarchant lab showing that rats strongly prefer oral alcohol over social reward. These data are opposite to results showing that rats strongly prefer social reward over IV opioids & psychostimulants pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36109596/

My wife and favorite collaborator, Michelle Mazei-Robison (not on Twitter), is editing a collection on Models of Addiction for Scientific Reports! Please check it out and consider contributing. nature.com/collections/ab…

Still time to apply! Were looking for enthusiastic students who want a dynamic, supportive, and diverse atmosphere in which to earn a Neuroscience PhD!

Paper of the week: our collaborative (with Golden & Hope labs) 7-year long project published in @PNASNews (co-1st authors Madangopal & Szelenyi) unexpectedly showing that incubation of food craving is associated with brain-wide neuronal activation in mice pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Now published! A HUGE thank you to the entire team/village that made this study possible. @PNASNews @NIDAnews @ESzelenyi @GoldenNeuron @yavinshaham @BruceHope4 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

We suggest that this could be a novel mechanism explaining how parallel activation of fat and sugar reward circuits transmits the internal drive to consume obesogenic foods. (image credit resources.stuff.co.nz)

Tomorrow 2pm! Looking forward to hearing from @JBarkerLab! @UFMBI @UFNeuroscience
