I attended this summer course when I visited China last year. It was an eye opening experience. The speaker lineup is really good and there are plenty of opportunities to interact with these world class imaging experts and neuroscientists.
Enrollment Now Open! #CSHA 3rd Annual Summer Course on Modern Techniques in #Neuroscience: #Probes, Detections and Discoveries-organized by Yulong Li @yulonglilab & Tianyi Mao. Apply today at We are waiting for you in Suzhou China.

Such cool work! The behaviors and underlying neural mechanism of mammal infants are so intriguing but underappreciated. This paper from @yuexuan_li in the lab of @dietrich_mo truly demonstrated the beauty and insights that can be obtained from studying mouse pups. Congrats!.
The first social behavior of a mammal infant is to form a social bond with the mother. In this work, we found that somatostatin-expressing neurons in the ZI of preweaning mice respond to social interactions with their mother. Here's a video highlighting our main findings.

In the paper, we revealed that the Krause corpuscles, discovered by Krause in the 1860s in the human clitoris and penis, sense vibration and dynamic light touch, mediate sexual reflex in female and male mice, and are crucial for the mating behaviors of female and male mice.

Thanks a lot for the nice commentary article by Prof. Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor and Dr. Zavitsanou.

Excited to share our paper on the specialized sensory structures of the genitalia for sexual touch. It was a collective efforts with the co-first author Michael Iskols @MIskols and other authors @RSegalGreenberg @AnnieHandler and others not on X.
Really proud to publish this fascinating paper on receptors responsible for sexual touch. It's easy to get prudish and Victorian on this sort of work, but sexual and reproductive health is extremely important.

Check out the cool work from Alex on how norepinephrine changes behavioral state via astroglial purinergic signaling.
Excited to announce that a part of my thesis work with @MishaAhrens and @EngertLab is out on bioRxiv! Summary 🧵⬇️, but first let me shout out this incredible companion piece by @LeftonKatie with @papouinlab.

Such amazing techniques from Jianguo Gu's lab: Patching on the heminode and 1st node of Merkel cell- neurite complexes using pressure-patch-clamp. The many mysteries of spiking in various sensory terminals may start to be unveiled by these techniques.

Really love the work from Aniqa Tasnim and colleagues showing the developmental timing of spinal touch alterations in ASD models. The tactile behavior in pups is super cool!.
Check out our now published study with Aniqa Tasnim that reveals early sensory disturbances in ASD predict future anxiety and social issues. It’s been an honor to work with Aniqa and others on this work during undergrad. #ASDResearch #Neuroscience .
