Happy to share our last work, where we studied neurons with dopamine receptors in the Central Amygdala upon cocaine intoxication
Opposing effects of rewarding and aversive stimuli on D1 and D2 types of dopamine-sensitive neurons in the central amygdala biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Preprint alert! 🚨
I am glad to finally share part of my PhD thesis as a preprint in @biorxivpreprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… with @luyten_laura and @TomRBeckers. Here we investigated avoidance acquisition, fear generalization and extinction in male and female rats

📅 Save the date for our upcoming seminar on August 27th! 🧠
Join us as @outRaajeous from the @mbruchas lab at @UW dives into how endogenous opioid release in the dorsal striatum influences goal-directed behavior, hosted by @Tamaramaneuro, @BrandonHughes90, and @veronikakondev.

So excited to have my first project in the @DrChristineAnnD lab finally online! doi.org/10.1101/2024.07.12.6…! Tl;dr: we made an R software package for scalable mapping and (most importantly) analysis and visualization of 𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦 brain-wide ensembles.

AI/ML is changing biotech, but image segmentation will always depend on signal quality. Our new paper in @PNASNews presents a robust genetic strategy for brain cell counting that boosts throughput where AI/ML falls short. Check it out! 🧠🔬 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…

Thank you @uwmnewsroom for covering our latest genetic strategy that helps automate brain cell mapping studies!!!

An approach to genetic labeling of a cell’s nucleus with fluorescence appears to have several advantages for brain mapping at the single-cell level. Designed by Eric Szelenyi (@ESzelenyi) @BioStructureUW. @GoldenNeuron.

Happy to share this @ahmari_lab work co-led by myself, @DrLizzieManning and @britt_lynn4, with critical help from @vijay_mkn and @DrJamiePierson!
We investigated how striatal spiny projection neurons contribute to compulsive grooming in Sapap3-KO mice.

If you are a female, whose genes have a stronger hold over your behavior and mind – your dad or mom’s?
Online today, our work in @CellReports @CellPressNews used single-cell brain mapping of X each chromosome-a producer of the most brain genes- in mice for clues.

Now published in Scientific Reports! Maternal behavior affects a variety of developmental outcomes. AMBER eliminates the training and scoring reliability drawbacks of manual scoring, allowing assessment of maternal behavior regardless of behavior expertise nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

The era of automated home cage maternal behavior is here! Using @DeepLabCut and SimBA @GoldenNeuron, we generated models to track rat dams and pups and score seven maternal behaviors with high accuracy. 🧵
