Very happy part of my doctoral work is now published at #JNeurosci We examine how subcortical signals are routed through higher order thalamus to impact local cortical circuits! Check it out at the link below 🎉

I am excited to share some new results investigating how subcortical signals are channeled via VM to engage specific inhibitory networks in L1 of mPFC. Check out our preprint linked below if you’re interested in reading more! 🥳

Happy to share the latest preprint from the lab. Work examining the role of somatostatin neuropeptide transmission in the PFC in regulating associative learning underlying discrimination between salient and neutral outcomes. Led by @Miigii13 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I was fortunate to be part of the NIH postbac intramural program after undergrad - a transformative experience that catalyzed my career and led me to where I am today. There is no world where we should we diminish investment in the next generation of our scientific researchers.

Happy to share our new J Neurosci paper, showing how mediodorsal (MD) thalamus engages CCK+ interneurons to evoke CB1R-sensitive feed-forward inhibition in L3 of prelimbic prefrontal cortex (PFC), led by @aichurokkamal, @kmanoocheri, and @theXL92: jneurosci.org/content/early/…

Happy to see this out in @NeuroCellPress. Huikun Wang, a staff scientist in our lab, demonstrates that ventromedial prefrontal cortical dynorphin signaling constrains threat-driven passive defensive behavior and switches in network states. Thread below. cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

Please apply to join my lab at Research Triangle Institute in North Carolina! We are seeking Ph.D. level scientists to join our team to work on mitochondrial mechanisms in substance use disorders. Apply here (or please RT/share): careers.rti.org/jobs/11456?lan…

Happy to share a new preprint from the lab. Here we show that prefrontal cortical dynorphin peptidergic transmission regulates threat-inducef behavioral and prefrontal cortical network transitions.

@NeuroTejeda this is so cool!!!!!

sIPSCs in layer V pyramidal neurons from human cortical slices. I wonder what opioid receptors do to these synapses? love this job!!!! 🤯🤯🤯

Excited to announce the Center for Neural Science (CNS) at NYU is searching for a new tenure-track faculty member — applications are due January 1 — Please RT! apply.interfolio.com/136781

Check out my first preprint!! Very excited to share this work 😁⚡️

@kwanalexc @MikaelPalner Can I be added? Thanks!

Want to connect with other psychedelic researchers in academia? 🍄💊🧠 @MikaelPalner and I started a #slack community now with ~200 members. Very low key but we have discussed papers, organized symposium proposals, and planned meetups at conferences. Reply here or DM to join.

With the @CAN_ACN meeting later this week, it seems like a great time to share that I will be joining @DalPharmacology as an Assistant Professor this September. I am very excited for this next step in my career and can’t wait to join a great department in beautiful Halifax!

@NeuroTejeda @KappaCon2023 @NIMHgov What a great Kappa crowd!!

@NeuroTejeda @NIMHgov @HEYarur so great to see you @NeuroTejeda & hear all the updates of the neat projects going on in (OUR, haha) lab!!!

@CaselloSanne @NIMHgov @HEYarur So happy to see you @CaselloSanne. Keep rocking on!

KappaCon Day #1 - pumped to present some of my post-bacc work @NIMHgov with @NeuroTejeda & @HEYarur !!! Feeling like a kappa family reunion 🎉

Congrats to the @KappaCon2023 ToniShippenberg awardees for their outstanding science and oral presentations PhDs students: @MarwaMikati & @JasonCDong1 PostDocs : @Valen_Tina_MD & @outRaajeous And thank you @NeuroTejeda for another outstanding KappaCon!!
