For a deeper dive into our new Cell paper—from the science and clinical motivation to the path from mouse circuits to clinical TMS—check out my NEATcast interview with Dhakshin Ramanathan at UCSD. Cell paper: cell.com/cell/fulltext/… Podcast: youtube.com/watch?v=iWvgLX… @neatneuro

11/ We are grateful for support from @NIH, the Penske Family Chair in Neuromodulation, and the outstanding scientific environment at @UCLA, @dgsomucla, @UCLA_BRI, @UCLASemel, @UCLANeuroTheme, @UCLAHealth.

10/ Deep gratitude to the incredible team behind this work. This project was led by outstanding first-author @michaelgongwer and developed in close collaboration with co-senior author @ladenardo, with major contributions from @HanbingLu52339, @AFL_UCLA and many others.

How does TMS — a treatment for depression — reshape dysfunctional brain circuits? In our new Cell paper, we identify a cell type-specific prefrontal mechanism linking accelerated iTBS to antidepressant-like behavioral effects and circuit plasticity. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

5/ Those with ambitions for a career in science or medicine (planning to apply for PhD or MD programs) are encouraged to apply. This is a career development opportunity for the right person. To apply, please e-mail Scott and include a cover letter, CV, and references.

4/ Responsibilities may include: running mouse behavioral assays, stereotaxic surgery, optogenetics, photometry/calcium imaging, data analysis, histology, mouse colony management and supervising undergraduate volunteers.

1/ The Wilke Lab at UCLA is recruiting for a research technician/lab manager position (wd2labs.org), available immediately. We are seeking a hard-working, detail-oriented individual with rodent, behavioral or basic neuroscience research experience. Please retweet!

6/ Applicants should apply by e-mail to Scott. Include a cover letter, CV and contact information for two recommenders. Position available immediately, but start date is flexible. The position is fully funded for two years, and may be extended depending on satisfactory progress

5/ Our approach to science is dynamic, team-oriented, fun and fearless. We believe in building new tools to tackle the most difficult and important problems in neuroscience. And also that we can accomplish the most by working together in a supportive and collaborative culture.
