Stuber Lab at the Center for the Neurobiology of Addiction, Pain, and Emotion at the University of Washington. We study the biological basis of motivation.
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.

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/s41586-0…
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/10.64898…
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/s41593-0…
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/…
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👇

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.
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)!
Applications are now open for the Shenoy Undergraduate Research Fellowship in Neuroscience (SURFiN) program for the 2025–26 academic year. The SURFiN program aims to spark and sustain interest in neuroscience among undergraduate students who have not had access to research opportunities. The paid fellowships will run from Sept 2025 - May 2026. Deadline to apply: May 1. For more info: bit.ly/4l2YAlY
Pls Chk out the lab's recent work from Eric Zhang (not on X), now in press & pre-printed. "Dentate Gyrus Norepinephrine Ramping Facilitates Aversive Contextual Processing". Thanks to @yulonglilab for the early collab using GRAB-NE2m.

🚨Two tenure-track assistant professor positions in the Dept. of Applied Mathematics at the University of Washington. Please apply by 10/31. Details here: mathjobs.org/jobs/list/25055 Please distribute widely! #Neuroscience
Blown away by these last two days at the @AllenInstitute and @UW. Here the researchers are not only doing the next big thing, but also pondering the next 5 steps that will change the world. It's breathtaking. Let me tell you a bit about what saw that got me so excited.
Chk out our @NAPECenter 5th annual Imaging and Genetics Workshop this fall (10/21-10/24/24) in Seattle, WA Thx @NIDAnews for support. Please register/apply now. Reach out to me,@gstuber or @NAPECenter for more details. Local, US and international attendees are welcome!
