25 years @ Hutment lab - the PFC is fully kicking in now - thank you to all the wonderful people I have been so privileged to work with - this tarpaulin covered hut by the sea has been our safe space and home at TIFR and has seen us through the fair share of storms and joys.


Thrilled to share the notice of award for my F31 NRSA application with NIDA!Science truly takes a village, and I’m feeling particularly built up by mine today.





Feeling some FOMO for not attending SfN this year but my amazing undergraduate Audrey will be presenting the work I’ve been doing (with lots of her help!) in the Brenhouse lab this past year. 🎉🐀If you’re still around on Wed afternoon, stop by the poster at K9!








Really glad to have this work identifying the key role of PV-neurons in the ventral hippocampus in gating the anxiolytic actions of the serotonergic psychedelic, DOI, out in @NeuroCellPress @TIFRScience sciencedirect.com/science/articl…



First paper from the lab biorxiv.org/content/10.110…! Long story short: @ezeyulu00, @AmartyaPradhan, @DKoveal and I developed a method using injectable nanoparticles to turn mice into…constellations in motion.
