New lab paper from @robertaukema in @NeurobiolStress.
In collab w/ @The_Gilp we examined the distribution of CRHR1 expressing neurons within the basolateral amygdala, their integration in circuits emanating to NAc and CeA and their reactivity to stress. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Excited to share work from Twitter less Juan Enriquez-Traba, grad student from the lab. Juan and the team demonstrate that dopamine regulates differential aspects of reward, motivation vs reinforcement, via co-expressed D3 and D1 receptors

Excited about our new paper with the amazing @NeuroTejeda and colleagues showing that motivation and reinforcement can be dissociated based on #dopamine receptors: D3 drives motivation and D1 regulates reinforcement!

Have you ever wanted to run studies with #PrairieVoles but didn't have access to the animals? Now you can!
The Cornell Vole Core is now open and able to ship voles to your lab! The webpage is currently minimalistic, but contact them to inquire. [pls RT]

Hi #ACNP2024 ! 👋 This is my 5th time attending the conference, and it has quickly become one of my favorites. Looking forward to giving my talk this afternoon on how #early adversity impacts #microglia and the neuroimmune axis, followed by the opening reception this evening! 🍾
We are officially on the ground in Phoenix so it's time for the #ACNP2024 role call 📣
Introduce yourself, your science, tell us if you're a veteran or first-timer, promote your poster/talk/favorite social - whatever you want, this is your space to say it ⬇️
I’m so honored to receive the Efron Research Award from @ACNPorg
This award reflects the hard work & creativity of my lab members & collaborators. So grateful for my team 🙏 & truly enjoy sciencing with them
The Daniel H. Efron Research Award to a young scientist on the basis of outstanding basic research contributions to neuropsychopharmacology.
The #ACNP2024 awardees are @Bangasser_Lab & @AnnaMolofskyLab
The Smith Lab at Boston College combines systems level circuit-based approaches and molecular/sequencing technologies to investigate how microglia & the gut-brain axis sculpt the social brain and how this is influenced by early-life environmental exposures #ACNP2024
1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! How do dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains? Turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all!
Comparing CD1 & C57 mice, we found strain-specific behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab🧵

#FlashbackFriday Authors from 2010 examined the cellular responses of female and male astrocytes to estradiol stimulation "to determine whether hypothalamic astrocytes are sexually differentiated." Read the results of this #SexDifferences research: ow.ly/OF5K50Q13JT

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists:
- watching flies fuck
- giving rats massages
- spending years digging into why jellyfish glow
- tracking penguin poop from space
- using horseshoe crab blood
New paper by @vera_karlbauer and @Binder_Lab: Cell type composition and prenatal exposure to🍷🚬 and #glucocorticoids are main drivers of salivary #FKBP5 DNA methylation and explain more variance than childhood maltreatment or psychopathology in a cohort of young children.
Over 100 dedicated researchers, postdocs, and graduate students from Georgia State University gathered with university leaders for the RISE Success Forum to celebrate the progress made through Project RISE! Read more: t.gsu.edu/40zWiTO#ResearchExcellence@GSU_Research
