Very excited to share our newest preprint, led by myself and Biostats PhD Student Jianing Yao, where we generate a three dimensional reconstruction of the human NAc to understand how cell type heterogeneity and topography change across the anterior-posterior axis. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Cool work from @edoncheck.bsky.social describing a platform for drug (or non-drug) self-administration combined with single-cell calcium imaging! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Drug self-administration in head-fixed mice - Nature Protocols
Here, the authors provide a protocol for a head-restrained approach in mice for intravenous and oral self-administration of drug and nondrug rewards.

Multiscale spatial transcriptomics resolves the cellular and molecular architecture of the human amygdala
The amygdala is a central hub for emotional learning that is dysregulated across numerous psychiatric disorders, yet its molecular architecture in humans remains poorly defined. We here present a spat...

For #FluorescentFriday, some more D1-island RNAscope from @ishbeldelrosario.bsky.social. These cells are so weird in all the best ways. Excited to share this data with everyone soon 😎🏝️

Excited to be headed to my first @acnporg.bsky.social meeting! Stop by my talk to hear about D1-islands in the human NAc or my poster to hear about our efforts to use spatial transcriptomics to profile lateral septum neurons in the human brain.

Exclusive: NIH appears to archive policy requiring female animals in studies
Such a shift would “put us back in the dark ages in terms of our science,” says neuroscientist Anne Murphy, who helped to formulate the original policy.
