Translational Psychiatry - Dissociable dorsal medial prefrontal cortex ensembles are necessary for cocaine seeking and fear conditioning in mice
How specific are PFC ensembles in the memories they represent? Quite specific! Check out this summary of work by @OlsenLabMCW super students Shuai Liu and Natalie Nawarawong and super collaborators Xiaojie Liu and Qing-song Liu ...a 🧵...#2Fos2Furious.

Fantastic seminar by @kwanalexc yesterday as the last @McwPharmTox seminar of the calendar year. It was great to see this and other work from his lab.
Our latest study - psilocybin evokes structural neural plasticity, and we wanted to know how this maps onto pyramidal cell type-specific circuits to produce behavioral effects. 🍄🔬🧠 Link to @biorxivpreprint: https://t.co/xvQh1JmBPf Led by Ling-Xiao Shao and @ItsClaraLiao.

Going to be an amazing year for expanding microscopy resources at MCW. First to arrive is the light sheet, next up is the @Abberior FACILITY line STED microscope and @AndorTechnology Dragonfly 620 SR with STORM/TIRF. Can’t wait to see how this will help researchers on campus.
Happy #FluorescenceFriday and #FollowFriday! I direct a PhD program in Pharmacology & a microscope core, and our lab's research is on substance use disorder. Looking to connect with more people with similar interests. New light sheet was installed by @edwardlachica3 this week.

ScienceTwitter: I need help. In a course I direct, we do posters. Students are worried that they won't meet the printing deadline, and a recommendation I have is to go old school with paper/poster board. They have no clue what I mean, but I can't find any photos online!

🐀 Please RT 🐀 RATTACA is back at #SfN24 — come see us tomorrow at Booth #1828. RATTACA uses polygenic risk scores to predict behavioral traits in outbred rats. Now you can study genetic predisposition to substance abuse in drug naive rats! Details at
The Center for GWAS in outbred rats ( https://t.co/9QUgHIn1JW) has a booth at #SfN22 (#3229). We are offering outbred rats with *genetically predicted* behavioral and physiological phenotypes. It's like selected lines, but we can predict for dozens of traits. What traits? Read on.
