A new review paper led by @mj_dahl, Agnieszka Kulesza and @WB_Markus. We review how deficient #dopaminergic and #noradrenergic modulation of hippocampal plasticity may contribute to memory loss in aging and Alzheimer's disease sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #locuscoeruleus

We recently showed age-dependent alterations to locus coeruleus in the presence of tau pathology: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Want to know the molecular signatures that potentially drive these changes? Come chat with me during lunch at Poster 123 tomorrow July 18 at #AAIC2023!

In this new preprint postdocs Meike van der Heijden & Amanda Brown set out to answer the question "why can cerebellar dysfunction present itself as different motor disorders?"
They find and optogenetically confirm different spike signatures for ataxia, dystonia, and tremor.

First published article from my lab!
It will be useful for labs using water restriction to motivate behavior.

🔵Exciting new work from Sebastian Bouret's lab for all #LocusCoeruleus lovers: "Our data show that LC neurons dynamically track the amount of effort produced to face both cognitive and physical challenges with subsecond precision."
Also data on reward!🐵 journals.plos.org/plosbiolog…

"Safer" chemical replacements for banned flame retardants may not be as safe as once thought. Research from @NCStateBioSci shows that they may pose a risk to brain development in children. Learn more: ncst.at/J7JP50GTxHL

AAVs to express PPO for inhibiting synaptic projections in vivo are now available from Addgene. If anyone has any questions about using them for your terminals of interest, please reach out!

For anyone interested in reading about the super cool research I do in the lab of the brilliant Dr. Shannon Farris, give this a click and check it out!
(we're also looking for a new research assistant, link in article 🤓)
How do we recall faces, names, and where and when we met someone?
With a new @NIH R01, @sfarris721's lab is studying the bioenergetics, molecular cues, and distinct cell types that encode social memories in the brain’s hippocampus. #Neuroscience #Memory
