New paper from @alexcwsmith89 and me. We started working on this open source, scalable video recording pipeline a few years ago and it saved us a ton of money when we started our labs. Big thanks to Addiction Neuroscience and guest editor @DrJKhokhar! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
#EBPS2023 Day 1:
Our first specialist session is our Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion panel. Here @TheBaleLab, @MayoOnTheBrain@BriannaEGeorge, Margarita Moreno & @ChristmannIpek will discuss their experiences of EDI in the field and take questions from the audience.

Congrats to Dr. Lyn Daws for winning the 2023 Lehr award for her research assessing organic cation transporter 3 as a novel molecular target to treat stimulant and alcohol use disorder! #aspet2023
Hey @BlackInNeuro! My amazing HS summer student presented his work today at @EinsteinMed summer poster session!! He worked SO HARD learning extracellular electrophysiology AND how to program in python to analyze his data! I'm so proud!The future is BRIGHT! #BlackInNeuro
There is data showing women are under cited.
To combat this I start every talk with a slide where I set up the talk but only with work from a single woman’s lab. It lets me highlight the amazing work done by women and remind people of papers they should be citing!
.@PaigeEstave, MD-PhD student at @wakeforestmed shared her perspective on the findings of a study suggesting that mindfulness practices can alter pain perception and migraine attack awareness, among other results.

The first scientific paper I ever read was in Pharmacological Reviews. Crazy to be sharing one of my very own. Check out our newest review on mGlu receptor allosteric modulators as novel treatments for neuropsychiatric disease! pharmrev.aspetjournals.org/c…
It was great to sit down with Dr. @PaigeEstave at #AHSAM22 to talk about the incorporation of mindfulness into #migraine care and the data she presented here in Denver.
Check out the clips from our conversation, coming soon to NeurologyLive.com!
Last up for Jones lab posters #Dopamine2022 is our newest postdoc Conner Wallace. He is presenting his work in collaboration with @SalahpourAli characterizing the DA terminal kinetics in a novel mouse model of DAT deficiency syndrome! Come check it out! @DopamineSociety
Up next for Jones lab posters at Dopamine2022 is @BriannaEGeorge presenting her work on how early-life stress and dopamine function converge to drive increased heroin vulnerability! Come see her poster today at 2-A-12! #Dopamine2022@DopamineSociety
Interested in poly-use of meth and fentanyl and the distinct DA changes it causes? Come see Monica’s latest work at her poster today at 1-A-4! #Dopamine2022@DopamineSociety
