I published a paper! So excited to finally have my early work in the @VeronicaTomlab published, exploring the time window of sTNFa activity after spinal cord injury. Check it out: liebertpub.com/doi/pdf/10.108…

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.…

September is Chiari Awareness Month! I was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari Malformation when I was 14 and it’s one of the main reasons I am passionate about neuroscience. This month, take time to learn more, and remember that you never know what battles someone may be fighting 💜

NGSD IS BACK!! After a much-need summer re-set, NGSD is back for its second year. We are excited to have you all back on board! We try to avoid activism burnout by ensuring our leadership board and members had some well deserved time off.
