UW NAPE Center is hosting another outstanding imaging and genetics workshop this Fall. Geared towards new graduate students and postdocs. Please consider applying if you are interested!

How does the brain link a novel food to illness that happens later? We found that acetylcholine, released in part by parabrachial Calca neurons, can work through GPCRs in central amygdala to bridge the gap. New preprint from @gstuber + Palmiter labs: biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

So I built a small tool that merges Allen CCFv3 with the traditional bregma-relative coordinate system (calibrated with Paxinos & Franklin's Atlas). Click any coronal or sagittal section, and get coordinates instantly. bohanzhao.com/Atlas Hope it saves someone a headache 🐭

Thrilled to share our work out in @Nature! Linking flexibility modeling, single-cell imaging, and targeted optogenetics allowed us to characterize how some prefrontal neurons, and mPFC-VTA neurons in particular, drive contingency degradation behavior. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New lab preprint! Can we study conscious perception of gut sensations in mice to reveal its neuronal basis? Can we train mice to report their gut sensations? Omer Rafael and Stav Shtiglitz in the lab teamed up to discover that…YES! Thread…1/6 biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

@canna_brain @AlexBerenson all these hot takes on cannabis this week seem more like a targeted campaign to attempt to change public perception. Very few have any scientific backing.

@AlexBerenson Alex, your takes continue to baffle me and are rooted in zero science and are nothing more than your personal opinion.

Yes, alcohol is safer overall than cannabis, despite alcohol’s risks of death from overdose; this is the reason that for 2000 years societies around the world have criminalized cannabis and allowed alcohol use.

@JoJoLab5 @AnatomyNeurobio @RIKEN_CBS Congrats Josh!

check out the latest work from Ken Ishii examining brain wide responses to opioid and withdrawal states. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@edoncheck @UNeurobiology Congrats Beth!

I am thrilled to announce that I am joining UAB's Dept of Neurobiology @UNeurobiology this Fall as an Assistant Professor! 🍾🥂 My lab will resolve how hormones sway neural activity dynamics & drug seeking, and subpopulation differences therein. Excited for what the future holds!

Hi everyone. We haven't been too active on here lately (more on that soon), but we have still been doing some great science. The latest paper from our lab, led by the exceptionally talented @YajunXie is finally out at @NatureNeuro! Short summary below... nature.com/articles/s4159…

The UW NAPE Center will host a free, week-long imaging workshop focusing on deep-brain single- and multi-photon functional imaging this Fall (Sept. 15-19). Register & more info here: depts.washington.edu/uwnape/trainin…

Thrilled to announce that our paper is now finally out! 🎉We combine scRNAseq, 2p imaging, ephys, and behavior to understand the role of lateral septal Nts neurons in opioid withdrawal. Curious about the septum and addiction? Give it a read👇 cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Excited to share our newest paper led by @kuldeepshrivas3 out now in @NatureComms nature.com/articles/s4146… 1/

Cursor is now free for students. Enjoy!

Big congrats to @aluskin @mbruchas et al., on their paper on circuits controlling LC neurons. Lots of interesting data on the peri-LC cell types, connectivity, and function to dig into here.

@alfairhall @AllenInstitute Big congrats!!

Thank you to all our friends at the @AllenInstitute! It’s great to be your neighbor and colleague.

Several positions open at UW (including in my lab) for this awesome program- importantly, students from nearby colleges/universities are welcome to apply (not just students at host schools)!

@AndrewHires These videos are insane. Tragic situation. Hope you all stay safe.
