I’m excited to share my latest postdoc project with you all! This was a dream team collaboration co-led by Rita Cervera and @SvitlanaBach.
We also developed web apps that allow anyone to easily explore the data, found in the GitHub repo below 👇🏻

26 years after Larry Swanson emphasized “the amygdala is neither a structural or functional unit” we used sn-RNAseq to answer the question:
“What is the [primate] amygdala?”
Check out the preprint 👇

Bringing my account back to life just in time for #FluorescenceFriday with a peek at our preliminary dive into the human LC🔵in AD. Glials & microvessels surrounding tangles - let the adventure begin into their -omics! Major credit to @HeenaDivecha for the perfect slice!

Is your tissue larger than a @10xGenomics Visium capture area? If you need to stitch together the images but also the gene expression data, check our new preprint describing #visiumStitched
We also shared example postmortem human brain data (3 samples)

Very excited to share this new preprint led by the super talented @klbrida. We started by asking what marks drug-activated ensembles and stumbled onto a surprising answer that identified a key regulator of neuronal excitability and reward. A brief 🧵...

So happy I just presented one of my @LieberInstitute projects about transcriptomic changes in 🐀 rat #habenula and #amygdala 🧠 after chronic fentanyl self-administration 💉together with Ege Yalcinbas at the 2024 NIDA meeting. @NIDAnews
Thank you for inviting me @kr_maynard!
