Excited to share a new paper from the lab. Examined memory linking + generalization at the neuronal engram ensemble level. IEG-based activity tagging systems lacked temporal specificity we needed, so we used scFLARE2 from @aliceyting's grp. cell.com/cell-reports/f… 1/5

Please repost. We are looking for a postdoc and research assistant in autism research in Philly. Please email me at kt469@drexel.edu. toyooka-lab.owlstown.net #autism #postdoc #researchassistant

We have provided an overview of current and emerging approaches for monitoring neuropeptides, with a focus on GPCR activation-based sensors. We hope that this review will assist scientists in the selection and application of appropriate tools in their research.

The manuscript is available at authors.elsevier.com/a/1hSka3Q9h2Ee….

The GaoLab is looking for a postdoc to study NIH-funded project related to prefrontal control of cognitive function and social behavior. If you interested in using physiological and circuit tools to study mental illness, please reach out to me & apply! Please RT

New review out in @NatureNeuro with @JWietek @rost_br and @LabSchmitz - the exciting opportunities and unique challenges of applying optogenetics at synaptic terminals. We try to cover the basics and also provide some practical tips!

Serotonin dynamics in vivo! We now have new green and red serotonin (5-HT) GRAB sensors enabling detection of 5-HT dynamics in different brain regions and conditions, also suitable for dual-color imaging! #GRABSensors #serotonin @5HT_Society

New Opsin Day! Our ChroME2 paper is officially out, i'm still always stunned when just a few tiny point mutations can make such a big change in our experiments. Happy photostimming cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Every once in a while (well not uncommonly) Science knocks my socks off. This Cell 2022 work shows cell-type & layer specific requirement for network activity for cortical neuron specification. Highly Recommended pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35063073/ CellCellPress @FlavioDonato82 @alcinojsilva

I’m happy to share the first preprint from my lab on my first twitter thread. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

huge congrats to @candelabellot for her paper just out in @NatureComms! She found two distinct populations of hippocampal neurons that project to PFC, that have distinct influence on PFC circuitry and opposite effects on behaviour! @uclnpp @uclbiosciences nature.com/articles/s4146…

#JNeurosci: Xing, Mack et al. @DrexelMedicine show how social conflicts recruit distinct cortical microcircuits to drive different behaviors and reveal how D1- and D2-receptor enriched neurocircuits in the prefrontal cortex establish a social hierarchy. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

In 10 days - from surgeries and setup assembly to recording and analyzing spikes in freely moving mice. Silicon probe recordings in the VTA during social interaction Great teamwork @snpc_404 @CastanySilvia_ @RungurselRun Rob Scheffer-Teixeira @Cajal_Training @bdxneuroschool

Dominant & submissive mice have different activity in their dopamine neurons. According to new research in #JNeurosci from @BoXinger4k2017 & @neuronanc2, @wjgao99 et al. @DrexelUniv, inhibiting these neurons can swap the social rank of the rodents. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
