Marta Pratelli

Today we are excited to welcome our newest faculty member @PratelliMarta! Please join us in giving Marta a warm welcome to the Department of Neurobiology & Behavior!

Excited to share my latest review on neurotransmitter plasticity and neurotransmitter switching induced by drugs of abuse and their behavioral implications. 🧠💥This review explores how dynamic changes in neurotransmitter systems can shape behavior and contribute to addiction. #Neuroscience #Neuroplasticity #Neurotransmitters #DrugsOfAbuse #BehavioralNeuroscience #AddictionResearch. frontiersin.org/journals/behav…

1/Fascinating interview with Dr. Arash Fassihi on the DASL Podcast! He's a project scientist at UC San Diego studying how the brain controls complex movements. buzzsprout.com/2398968/episod…

Excited to share @AmpatzisLab and @KizilLab's's new paper on #zebrafish 's intracardiac nervous system (IcNS), highlighting the presence of pacemaker-like neurons that partake in heart rhythm—linking cardiac and neuroscience research. nature.com/articles/s4146…

It is my great honor to contribute to this paper during the summer at @NSB_MBL @MBLScience and work with our super team: @A_Albeely @PratelliMarta, Arturo, @ZheyiNi, and @ConnorNeifert. Really appreciate the mentorship from Ann @annmclemens and Michael @BrechtLab!

Our paper from the @MBLScience @NSB_MBL is now published 🎉. Thankful to all the brilliant minds that helped us bring this work to life. Thanks @annmclemens and Michael Brecht for your guidance throughout this beautiful journey. What a beautiful team to work with and be a part of

Our research revealed how disrupted lipid homeostasis accelerates immune system aging using a unique mouse model. 🧬🐭 It’s been such an incredible journey filled with learning and growth. (2/6) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really happy to finally share this long-term work with everyone! nature.com/articles/s4146… Drug-induced change in transmitter identity is a shared mechanism generating cognitive deficits. @SpitzerLab @NatureComms

🎙️ Excited to introduce the DASL Podcast, a platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of underrepresented trainees at UCSD! We dive deep into stories of resilience, overcoming challenges, and navigating the complexities of academia. #DASLPodcast buzzsprout.com/2398968

🚀 So excited to share the launch of the DASL Podcast! 🎙️ As the creator, I'm deeply proud of the stories we’re telling and the incredible guests who bravely share their journeys. Let’s amplify underrepresented voices together! 💫 #DASLPodcast #DiversityInScience
