… I have attached the graphical abstract and our summary in this thread, and if anyone has additional questions about extracting snail ooze, feel free to ask! :) Working with Ed Cargot and Dr. Olofs was a blast. Happy April everyone! 3/3.

. and I am so proud of the work that we have done doing free-moving 1P imaging in snails. This project demonstrates that free-climbing is likely conserved across evolutionary species, and was probably the reason why humans evolved. 2/3.

Hi Everyone, I am so excited to announce my collaboration with the @Olofs_Lab to identify a novel neural mechanism for adrenaline and free-climbing in snails! This project came together so fast. 1/3

Now that I have officially messed up my first twitter thread, I would like to also show what #ChatGPT wanted me to write for this paper (and I will admit, I was definitely inspired by the emojis):

7/7 Thank you to @science_is_hard, Amy Cao, and Anousheh Bakhti-Suroosh for their helpful discussion! The link to the full paper is here:

6/7 Our model integrates findings from cognitive, computational and molecular neuroscience to offer a comprehensive understanding of anxiety and depression. I hope it can inspire healthy discussion and some cool papers in the future! ✨.

5/7 We also highlight the role of neuroplasticity and neuromodulation in our model (#neurotensin? @haoli1988 👀). Stress and prolonged neuromodulator/transmittor dysfunction can induce structural and functional changes in key brain regions, reinforcing disordered circuitry (F3).

4/7 The transition between top-down and bottom-up processing is critical for healthy function, and when one's ability to process new stimuli becomes disrupted or biased towards one of these modalities, anxious, depressive, and anxious-depressive phenotypes can develop (F1-2).

3/7 We combine computational, algorithmic, and biological data to propose how top-down and bottom-up processing can be represented in the energy landscape of the brain via a bimodal attractor state (F1).

2/7 Why do anxiety and depression present such different phenotypes, despite often being comorbid? How are these disorders distinct in the brain? We propose a novel theoretical model based on David Marr's three levels of inquiry. .

1/7🧵 I'm excited to share my paper titled "Anxiety and Depression: A Top-Down, Bottom-Up Model of Circuit Function" which I coauthored with @matildee_rose , @RayLMir and @kaymtye published in @NYASciences awarded by @BlavatnikAwards (graphical abstract below).

. Inspired by David Marr's three levels of inquiry, we combine computational, algorithmic, and biological data to construct a theoretical model which argues that the energy landscape of the brain can perseverate in top-down and bottom-up processing modalities. 2/n.
