Our paper on VTA dopamine neurons is finally published. A lot more to come. Dopamine is rather interesting, I promise. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Congrats to Bella Fallon, who received her PhD from Duke neurobiology!

Vesicular transport in a bundle of neurons. Made this movie some years ago. Incredible how much material is constantly being moved around in our cells over long distances by tiny (nanometer scale) motor proteins #microscopy, #science, #cells_are_amazing

Our new paper on the role of the parafascicular thalamic nucleus. Congrats to first author @IsabellaFallon8. cell.com/current-biolog…

@NicoleCalakos Congratulations Dr.Calakos

This honor and opportunity to represent means a lot to me. But above all, it is a moment to recognize my team past and present who are committed to make a difference through discovery and the support I have had from great leaders and inspiring mentors. My thx

@WindingMichael @AjAqrabawi great, thanks!

@WindingMichael @AjAqrabawi great work. in the video render, the contraversive neurons appear as though some of them are bilaterally projecting. curious about how you all classified them given all extensive collaterals, not easy i am sure.

Sneak peek: We will soon be releasing a complete insect brain connectome! With both brain hemispheres mapped, we can study how the left and right sides of the brain communicate #Drosophila #neuroscience

Our latest paper, the first on robotics: cost ~2K, no machine learning or training needed, cheap parts and 3D printed body, AND no computation of inverse kinematics/dynamics (farewell to some paradigms) sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@NicoleCalakos Great work Nicole!

SPOTlight reporter really helped us to think outside the box about what "cell stress responses" and protein synthesis pathways may be doing in the brain for learning and memory. A major team effort during the pandemic to get this work out! science.sciencemag.org/content/372/65…

@jnk_lab Congratulations @jnk_lab!!

Just got word - tenure is finally a done deal! So many folks to thank who made this possible - but none more important than the trainees who took a chance on working with me when the lab was brand new. So proud of what y’all accomplished.
