Our paper is out! Ventral subiculum output to NAc exhibits a D2R bias and has distinct synaptic properties from vCA1 output. Cocaine withdrawal potentiates vSUB-D2R synapses.
Emma Boxer's (@EmmaEBoxer) and JungMin Kim's (@jungminKimwipes) study investigating the unique synapse-specific properties of ventral subiculum output to D1R and D2R MSNs in dorsal NAc medial shell is out now in @SfNJournals! jneurosci.org/content/43/7/1…

Emma Boxer's (@EmmaEBoxer) review article is now out in @FrontNeurosci! She covers our current understanding about the functional roles neurexins and their ligands have at inhibitory synapses.

Proactive vs Reactive Aggression are driven by unique circuits.
Mounting for Sex/Mating vs Mounting for Dominance are separable too.

huge congrats to @candelabellot for her paper just out in @NatureComms! She found two distinct populations of hippocampal neurons that project to PFC, that have distinct influence on PFC circuitry and opposite effects on behaviour! @uclnpp @uclbiosciences nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

How is taste info encoded? #JNeurosci research reconstructing the synaptic circuitry of taste buds from @courtthewilson et al @taste_and_smell @CUAnschutz, find that taste cannot entirely be carried along nerve fibers dedicated to single taste qualities. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Most people think of hippocampal ACh as important for memory encoding or attention, but first we confirm using GRAB-ACh many microdialysis studies showing that stressors induce ACh release in hippocampus (see published data from @TjShors and others)

TIL Cheerios changed its name from Cheery Oats Bc Quaker Oats filed for trademark infringement for the use of “oats” in the name (?)… also Sylvia Plath considered it a garbage breakfast choice

For breakfast most people eat eggs or oatmeal or cold cereal. It is called by various silly names such as “Rice Krispies” and “Cheery Oats” and it always tastes the same - like little pieces of pressed hay or sawdust. 12/20/48

We found that this connectivity is directed in part by the presynaptic adhesion molecule, Neurexin-3, which we reveal exhibits synapse- and sex-specific functions at vSUB PV synapses. Interesting implications for understanding the sex differences observed in addiction, (3/4)
