🧠✨ Genetic Tools Atlas 3.0 is here! The GTA now has an additional 750 datasets, including 80+ mouse whole-brain light sheet microscopy images as well as the first macaque datasets. 🔗 https://t.co/nYJdW24A7w

Happy to share our paper creating an atlas of the dendritic morphology of D1- and D2-MSNs and elucidating its organizational principle. Thanks to Chris Park, Ming Yan, Masood Akram, Hongwei Dong, Daniel Tward, and others. Funding from US BRAIN Initiative.

Thrilled to share our latest work showing spatially segregated Ca2+ signals of NMDAR and mGluR5 have opposing effects to maintain synapse homeostasis, with implications towards rapid antidepressant action (1/3) https://t.co/eVx9VmKPWX

Cocaine-activated ion channels engineered to break the loop of addiction in rats

This was a fun piece to write for @TrendsinPharma “The ABCs of Psychedelics: A Preclinical Roadmap for Drug Discovery” with @john_mccorvy and @mantschjr https://t.co/1KaExV2B2X

I’m delighted to share that the first paper from my postdoctoral work has been published in @PharmacolRes! In this study, we describe how μ-opioid receptors (MOR) and CRF1 receptors (CRF1R) form heterotetramers with distinct G protein couplings https://t.co/eHFh0J6cv4

Nature research paper: Cocaine chemogenetics blunts drug-seeking by synthetic physiology https://t.co/QqAwJmeylP

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 https://t.co/X4zUdhGUG2

🎊So excited to share our new publication! We identified a novel circuit underlying threat processing and adaptive learning. Deeply grateful to @BBRFoundation and all the co-authors who made this possible! @IBG_CUBoulder @CUPsychandNeuro @NeurobioUMass https://t.co/bSqPLIp5Sf

Our latest study identifies a specific cell type and receptor essential for psilocybin’s long-lasting neural and behavioral effects 🍄🔬🧠🐁 Led by Ling-Xiao Shao and @ItsClaraLiao Funded by @NIH @NIMHgov 📄Read in @Nature - https://t.co/teA2IhCpXi 1/12

Hoy fue la presentación del nuevo investigador titular del laboratorio Tlaxcala en el Departamento de Fisiología de nuestra institución. Su llegada marca el inicio de una nueva etapa de crecimiento y excelencia científica @HiramTendilla @ConexionCinves

I'm excited to share another piece from my PhD - and start of my postdoc! Based on our previous study refining heroin self-administration, we propose a choice procedure to identify individual differences in preference for heroin and social interaction. https://t.co/YBbPmIeji2

GREAT NEWS! Our paper on dopamine signaling of valueless prediction errors is out in @ScienceAdvances! I found that striatal dopamine tracks cue-cue prediction errors in sensory preconditioning, which goes against model-free theories of dopamine function. https://t.co/Q91KwzURAC

📢 Don't miss our recent review on the "Neurobiology of resilience to early life stress", published in @npp_journal! Great collaboration along with Alessandro Bortolami, Cathe Peña, and @EricJNestler. 👇👇

A brief guide to statistical analysis of grouped data in preclinical research

Synergistic behavioral and neuroplastic effects of psilocybin-NMDAR modulator administration #psychedelics

Thrilled to see this come to life and to have been part of the journey since the very beginning. Huge congratulations to Pablo and Gilles on building such a nice story!
