1/6 Opioids trigger a dopamine surge that can create dangerous reward associations—yet that same dopamine signal may help shape central pain perception. Can the dopamine surge and reward associations be separated? Our recent Nature study says yes www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The lab is officially up & running at Duke! 🥳 Huge thanks to @dukemedschool.bsky.social for the amazing space, & to our lab team for getting everything installed & operational within a month 😅 Excited for what’s ahead!

Happy Birthday Dick Tsien! So happy to join former labmembers in celebration. Amazing to be reminded of the breath and depth of your contribution to science - with a strong flavor of "what is the underlying mechanism" @deisseroth.bsky.social @yulonglilab.bsky.social

Honored to speak at Tsien@80—a beautiful reminder that mentorship, curiosity, and generosity leave the deepest legacy. Thank you, Dick Tsien, for welcoming me into your scientific family. Happy 80th! 🎉 #DickTsien80

As an author on the paper Vinny skewers here, I say ouch and read this.

Over 50 yrs since the discovery of protein kinases, 80% of human kinases still have ≤20 known substrates, and many are “dark.” I'm EXCITED to announce our new work towards solving this- combining (1) deep learning with (2) proximity proteomics in vivo! ➡️ www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Still, while thrilled our 2 TTIs and 3 staff scientists were rescued, many other great scientists were terminated, incl lab and core staff

🚨 New lab paper!🚨 A dream study of mine for nearly 20 yrs not possible until now thanks to NIH 🧠 funding & 1st-author lead @seeber.bsky.social We tracked hippocampal activity as people walked memory-guided paths & imagined them again. Did brain patterns reappear?🧵👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“Why Facts Don't Work”—my talk at Winter Brain. Thanks to Joyce Woo for organizing “Synaptic Control of Mesolimbic DA Neurons” & co-presenters Tom Hnasko, Abigail Elerding, Miguel Lujan, Thomas Jhou. Sorry I missed it (thanks United!) but silver lining—here’s the recording: youtu.be/vZAZ6uCkkWI

Same with general University functions. They think that taking away the words diversity, equity, and inclusion changes things. Libs love their labels (on that I agree 😅) so banning "DEI" will make us all cry. That's really their point, as juvenile as it is. But just live DEI, be it. Can't ban that.

Let me give a concrete example of the importance of applications with high risk-high reward as well as the role of NIH staff in taking risks. Decades ago, a physical chemist proposed ideas about doing mass spectrometry on proteins (when this was deemed probably impossible). 1/n

Tune uses epigenetic editing to control gene expression without modifying the DNA sequence itself. The startup's technology is based on research from Tune co-founder and Duke BME Professor Charles Gersbach.

Received bad news about Carl Olson. Sad to hear that he passed away. Carl was a major influence on my early years as an Assistant Prof, with our labs down the hall from each other. He was a highly rigorous neurophysiologist, with a wry sense of humor. Please see attached images for more info.
