I am so excited to share with the community my newest pre-printed manuscript w/ my mentor @brainsonmymind.bsky.social investigating striatal astrocytes and neuromodulation in Parkinsonian conditions! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Striatal cholinergic and dopaminergic driven astrocyte Ca2+ activity is disrupted in Parkinsonian mice
Brain neuromodulatory systems exert powerful effects on local neuronal circuit function and behavior. In addition to classical actions directly on neurons, growing evidence indicates that neuromodulat...

Thrilled to wrap up the year and my postdoc work in the Nester lab with this publication 🥳! We show that astrocytic CREB regulates astrocyte calcium and D1-MSN activity to drive behavioral response to cocaine. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41406210/

At #SfN? Check out super talented graduate student Esther's poster on how acute alcohol modulates cell specific in vivo cortical activity. You can also congratulate her on recently defending her Masters thesis!!

Thrilled to share this work from my postdoc with Tom Carmichael, available online @ Neuron! Long story short: we find even more evidence that all reactive astrocytes are not equal, and we can take advantage of those differences to improve repair after stroke. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Regionally mapped astrocytic responses to cortical and white matter stroke show differential roles in astrocyte-induced vascular remodeling
Stroke is a major cause of disability. Astrocytes respond to stroke in a gradated manner, but details of that response and its consequences for tissue…
