Some pics from @cpnoct, @adhikari, and @BrainCaRMA's visit to Seoul. Learned so much at both SNU Symposium on Neural Circuits for Thermoregulation (and feeding behavior ;) + #icomes2025. Thanks for inspiring science, great conversations, and fun times!

1/ 🧬 The Cocaine Cure What if the same drug that hijacks your brain could be used to treat its own addiction? Scientists are engineering ion channels that only turn on in the presence of cocaine, flipping the reward circuit on its head. Here’s how it works, and why it matters

We used protein engineering to develop cocaine-gated ion channels. Our approach simplifies chemogenetic applications for cocaine addiction by having cocaine itself activate inhibitory and/or excitatory channels. Collaboration between @mikelides @BrainCaRMA

Two papers that very nicely show effectiveness of PSAM4-GlyR chemogenetics in concert with FDA-approved varenicline or more selective uPSEM792 in pain animal models as well as in IPSC-derived human sensory neurons.
