What regulates the urge to sleep? William Joo and colleagues identified brain regions that reflect how long mice have been awake. Strikingly, inhibiting one of these regions reduces sleep by 70%, without the major behavioral deficits associated with sleep deprivation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Distinct properties of glutamate-dopamine, nonglutamate-dopamine, and glutamate-only ventral tegmental area neurons
Glutamate cotransmission predicts the behavioral functions and characteristics of dopaminergic neurons in the VTA.

🧠 We're hiring! Two postdoc positions in circuit neuroscience are open in our newly established lab at the IPNP/INSERM, Paris. We study how the brain makes sense of different seasons, in healthy and disease states. Full details here: sites.google.com/view/team-ma... Please repost!

A European colleague came to the US recently for an academic meeting On arrival at JFK, she was whisked off by immigration officers into a windowless office, which had a giant picture of Trump, & relentlessly & aggressively questioned for hours They let her go—but she ain’t coming back to the US

Excited to share that I joined the Institute of Psychiatry and Neuroscience of Paris @ipnp.bsky.social as a group leader! Thank you to FRM and BBRF for the support! My team will study how dedicated neural circuits decode seasonal changes, and drive adaptive behaviors. 🧠 ☀️ ❄️

After 13 years in the US, I’ve made the difficult decision to leave. Having packed up everything and rethought about priorities, rather painstakingly, while I’m sad to leave the life I’ve made here, I’m also relieved that I won’t have to plan my life around immigration policies anymore.

born too late to get a two Western blot Nature paper, born too early to be a science TikTokker, born just in time to start a postdoc during a global pandemic and look for faculty positions during a historic hiring freeze

The bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) is involved in feeding, reward, aversion, and anxiety-like behavior. We identify BNST neurons defined by the expression of vesicular glutamate transporte...
