Delighted to share our lab’s latest preprint, spearheaded by the talented @_roseying !
Neural correlates of flexible sound perception in the auditory midbrain and thalamus biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci
Delighted that the lab’s latest preprint detailing a project led by the talented @BioMatheus is now available!

Check out a short audio summary of the work from Science Cast: sciencecast.org/casts/e3us1k…
The Caras Lab wants to hire a lab technician to work on our NIH funded project on the neural circuits that support auditory perception, plasticity, and learning! Ideal for someone looking to gain research experience before grad school.
See caraslab.org for details!
Excited to share our lab’s first preprint! Hats off to first author @_roseying for bringing this project to the finish line AND for receiving an F31 NRSA from NIDCD all in the same week! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

I’ve had an amazing 4yr experience in the Caras Lab, guided by consistent support and mentorship at every turn. Everyone in our lab is equally kind & fun to be around as they are talented. Consider joining the lab as a grad student at UMD 🐢🧠! ⬇️

Is it possible to gain the effects of training without years of practice?
A new $2.3M NIH award will allow Melissa Caras (@CarasLab) to examine connections between the brain’s auditory and orbitofrontal cortices to identify the neural basis of expertise.

It’s #PostdocAppreciationWeek so it’s the perfect time to welcome our newest postdoc to the Caras Lab- all the way from Brazil, the twitterless Jéssica Winne! So glad to have you, Jéssica, and can’t wait to explore the brain together!
It’s #PostdocAppreciationWeek so it’s time to celebrate the amazing @BioMatheus! Rigorous, creative, and generous to a fault, Matheus (Matt) is a scientific gem and the lab is so lucky to have him! Thanks, Matt!

The Yao Lab @BHI_Rutgers @RWJMS (Otolaryngology) website is officially online: yaolaboratory.com/
Check out the “Open Positions“ page if you are interested in joining the team. I am actively recruiting!
Our lab is looking for a new lab manager/technician! Come join our group of happy, smart scientists and help us understand more about the neural circuits that help us learn to listen. Interested? Learn more here: caraslab.org/open-positions
Just finished the first chapter of @edyong209’s book An Immense World and I am SO EXCITED to assign it as required reading for my Neurobiology of Extraordinary Senses course next Spring @umdnacs @umdbiosci! A fantastic read so far, perfect for my course, highly recommend!
Couldn’t be more well deserved! Congratulations, Justin!
This looks like a fantastic program! To my eligible colleagues and friends- you should apply!
DRUMROLL PLEASE......
We are thrilled to announce BRAINS has been renewed for another 5 years! See brains.uw.edu for more details. Apply now for our 2022 cohort! Thanks @NINDSDiversity for your support!
MORE BRAINS!!!!!!

#Learning to hear... non-sensory influences, such as reward, engagement, context, are cruicial. Find out more in our new article in JARO, together with @CarasLab and many others. @LIN_Magdeburg @AROMWM @SpringerNature link.springer.com/article/10…
It’s #ARO2022 time! To learn more about the role of the auditory midbrain in perceptual learning, check out poster 605, brought to you by our talented graduate student Rose Ying!
And be sure to tune in to Podium Session 28 on Tuesday at 3:45 PM EDT for an exciting update from @BioMatheus about the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in auditory detection, auditory cortical plasticity, and perceptual learning!
And remember- the Caras lab is looking to hire another postdoc! @spARO_news @AROMWM
Kelsey makes BEAUTIFUL figures and everyone interested in upping their science communication game should go listen to what she has to say.
For those of you attending #AROMWM, @matt_with_ears & I will be giving a #scicomm workshop tmrw @ 1:30pm ET! We'll go over tips for successful presentations & figures, and go over a new topic I'm super excited about- #accessible & #inclusive design. See you there!! 👏
