New lab paper from @robertaukema in @NeurobiolStress.
In collab w/ @The_Gilp we examined the distribution of CRHR1 expressing neurons within the basolateral amygdala, their integration in circuits emanating to NAc and CeA and their reactivity to stress. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Hosted the great @dgordonwinder at Tufts Neuroscience today. His talk was elegant, as usual. Thanks for visiting us!
Klaus Miczek was a giant. He was a true old school gentleman and scholar. Klaus recruited me to Tufts to collaborate with him, and I had the privilege to work closely with him in the past year or so. Here are 3 important things that I learned from my interactions with Klaus (1/n)

My lab @TuftsUniversity is looking for a postdoc to work on the neurocircuitry of stress-alcohol interactions: viceprovost.tufts.edu/job-bo…
The Boston area is great for biomed research, and Tufts is a very nice place to work.
Please RT!
Thanks for the promo @SfNJournals . My lab @TuftsPsychology @TuftsUniversity will build on these findings, with a special focus on the LH.
New in #JNeurosci: @MarcusWeera @The_Gilp et al. @LSUHealthNO find that inhibiting LH-targeting CeA CRF neurons in stress-avoidant rats prevents stress-driven increases in anxiety-like behavior & alcohol self-administration. Jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Tufts Neuroscience is hiring! Open at all ranks to folks studying circuits controlling empathy, selfishness, and altruism. This is an endowed chair position and comes with a significant endowed research fund! Come join us in Boston to do awesome science! neurojobs.sfn.org/job/37134/…
Day 1 orientation @TuftsUniversity
Sunny skies + 70 deg weather, couldn't have asked for a better welcome

In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

Great session @RSAposts on alcohol-stress-extended amygdala interactions by @TwillsLab, Maiya Lab, & @SamCentanni! #RSA2023

Fantastic panel focusing on alcohol's effect on the CRF system outside the amygdala (!) Very cool work by Remi Martin-Fardon, @DrJRink Audrey Seasholtz and @superrsema and great moderating by @Marcus
Looking forward to chairing this symposium on CRF-alcohol interactions outside the amygdala with @superrsema at @RSAposts. Come by this Sunday at 1:20 if you can! (1/2) – at Grapevine, TX

New paper from @alexcwsmith89 and me. We started working on this open source, scalable video recording pipeline a few years ago and it saved us a ton of money when we started our labs. Big thanks to Addiction Neuroscience and guest editor @DrJKhokhar! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
