Another interview and lab visit -- this time with @NorthwesternMed, for a spot titled “Lab to Life” that highlights activities bridging fundamental academic research and medical device commercialization. The focus was on our projects in (1) wireless systems for vital signs…
Dr. McCulloch and his young collaborator Walter Pitts were thus the originators of today's widely supported "computational model of the mind." Their work inspired theories of "cellular automata," in which individual cells live or die according to inputs from their surrounding…
The Shaham & Hope labs at the SfN meeting: If you are interested in behavioral and neurobiological mechanisms of drug self-administration, choice, relapse and social behavior, please visit our posters during the meeting
I'm having the best time at #INRC2024 right now and I know many of you have heard about this story several times, but we finally finished it! It's now in preprint!!!🙏🙏 Thanks to everyone!! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Reconceptualizing behavior as a sharable reagent: rdcu.be/dIFmr We present a platform for behavioral analysis called Simple Behavioral Analysis (SimBA). A sincere thank you to the community for their continued expert feedback and suggestions
Paper of the week: our new lab paper in @PsychopharmEBPS led by Jonathan Chow & @Kayla_Pitts describing an operant negative reinforcement procedure in opioid-dependent rats. The procedure is based on early non-human primate studies in the 1970s pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38642101/
In all the excitement, I forgot to SCREAM TO THE WORLD that @NastaciaGoodwin successfully defended her dissertation! I cannot wait to see what Nastacia does next in her PD, but I know it will be the bees knees (she's working on bee social behavior!)! Beyond humbled and proud.
Happy grad school decision day!! I’m happy to announce that this fall I’ll be starting my Ph.D in neuroscience with @NorthwesternU @NuinComm ! Thank you to all of my mentors who have helped me get here, I’m so excited for this next chapter! 🧠🧪 🐀
A tour-de-force manuscript from @ESzelenyi, highlighting some fantastic whole brain mapping in challenging genetic models. Worth a read!
If you are a female, whose genes have a stronger hold over your behavior and mind – your dad or mom’s? Online today, our work in @CellReports @CellPressNews used single-cell brain mapping of X each chromosome-a producer of the most brain genes- in mice for clues.
So exciting to see this finally come together, check out this project I had the opportunity to work on in undergrad!
It takes a village... and about 5 years.. to raise some papers. This collaboration was led by Dr. Wei Ouyang (just opened his lab at Dartmouth!) from the @ProfJohnARogers group, in collaboration with @treemi lab and our industry partner @NeuroLuxInc doi.org/10.1016/j.neur…
Here's our most recent paper on wireless implantable devices for animal model studies of fundamental topics in biology, published in the journal @NeuroCellPress . This flexible, battery-free electronic system captures heart and respiratory rates, including variabilities in these…
Paper of the week: our collaborative study with the Schoenbaum lab (1st & 2nd au Jonathan Chow & @Kayla_Pitts_) published @SfNJournals on different effects of peer-sex on 'social' self-administration & striatal dopamine (GRAB-DA2m) in male & female rats pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38346894/
New in #JNeurosci: following up on the discovery that rats favor social reward over drug rewards, the lab of @yavinshaham @NIDAnews @NIH finds sex differences in social behavior: males prefer opposite- over same-sex interactions. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
First publication from my post-bac at NIDA came out today! jneurosci.org/content/early/… Titled “Different effects of peer-sex on operant responding for social interaction and striatal dopamine activity”
Come check out my poster today at #SfN23 discussing the effect of peer sex on operant responding in social interaction! @yavinshaham @kmcostalab @SfNtweets
Plugging in this great work from the @yavinshaham lab that I had the pleasure to help with - Tuesday afternoon! #SfN2023 #SfN23 #SFN @NIDAnews
Come check out the NIDA IDEA (inclusion, diversity, and equity activities) committee poster at XX73! #SfN23 #SfN2023
Check out our poster for NIDA’s Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Activities (IDEA) Committee at #SfN2023 We will be at XX73 until noon to talk, but the poster will be up until 5pm today! If
Shaham lab posters @SfNtweets Tues 1-5pm (RR7-RR11): we will present 5 posters on opioid maintenance using Oprm1-Cre knockin rats, claustrum role in incubation, dopamine & social reward, new opioid negative reinforcement model & new voluntary abstinence model using wheel running
.@yavinshaham lab post bacs after our late-breaking oral presentations at #cpdd23!!🤗 @Kayla_Pitts_ @AshleyKBatista1
