📣📣We are recruiting 1-2 postdocs at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.
We studies how neuropeptides shape circuit function and behavior, and psychiatric disease using Neuropixels, calcium imaging, and optogenetics. Pls RT!

What is a brain cell but not a neuron? It sounds like a riddle, but our brains are full of lesser-known cells besides the more well known neurons.
In this microscopy image, we see one such cell known as an astrocyte, named for their star-like shape. #SciShots

Thrilled to wrap up the year and my postdoc work in the Nester lab with this publication 🥳! We show that astrocytic CREB regulates astrocyte calcium and D1-MSN activity to drive behavioral response to cocaine. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4140…

My TEDx talk is live! I share my path from TBI to heroin addiction to neuroscientist, along with simple strategies for resilience and top-down control. I’d truly appreciate you sharing it.

13 years ago, I was dying from OUD. The 12 steps saved my life, without any need for a belief in god. I learned a way of living that provided freedom from my addiction and the prison of emotional entanglement. If you’re struggling, my DMs are always open. 🙏

Terrific thread of exciting and inspiring science. Proteins are truly awesome.
So @JeremyFarrar asked for an "explainer thread" on Noble Prizes in Chemistry around AlphaFold and Protein design, so here goes.

We are really excited to share these data! This project was a DEEP dive into investigating the structural effects of cocaine self-administration on astrocytes, which revealed a surprising role for microglia pruning astrocyte membranes across abstinence.

And particularly thanks to @LaboTremblay @haleyv whose expertise in EM and microglia cytoarchitecture revealed evidence for astrocyte membranes in microglia at the highest level of resolution.
Particular shout out to co-first authors twitter less Anze Testen, @jwvanryzin, and @_TaniaJB , whose creativity, rigor, and hard work have revealed an exciting new interaction between microglia and astrocytes.
