New trend for this year?
#Absolute_Neurophysiology
This year, I'll post classic neurophysiology stories you might not have ever heard of, but probably inform a lot about how we think about 2020s neuro...
We start with the coolest patch clamp figure, maybe ever...
Exciting work from the lab on unique DA subpopulation! SN pars lateralis DAN firing differs from SNc in super interesting ways. We find robust auditory CTX input and test in threat behavior. Congrats to Lorenzo Sansalone (@newrochemist), @cellularscale @e_twedell, Sherry Zhang!

This is us 🤓@aa_fenton @KhaliqLab @annacaputovoice. We may have been a few, but the presence of Black Neuroscientists at the Synaptic @GordonConf was powerful! Thrilled to be together in Italy, and excited to present our work. #RepresentationMatters #BlackInNeuro
New preprint led by @sambrillweil. Axonal GABA-AR control of nicotinic input to DA axons. Careful analysis of picrotoxin off-target inhibition of nAChRs (a6 and non-a6). Huge congrats to Sam, special thanks to @XOanAxon and coauthors @neurochapin, @FayeClever, & Sherry Zhang
Excited to share my first, first-author paper from back during my time as a postbac with @KhaliqLab! Here, we examine how two presynaptic receptors interact to shape DA axon physiology and excitability. 1/n👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

It's official! We are thrilled to share that@iaahmed123 Ismail Ahmed will join us as faculty on 09/01. He will launch his program developing novel chemical tools to determine how neuropeptide signaling modulates behavior and physiology in the context of health and disease.

Interested in doing a PhD or postdoc at @NIH?
Three virtual info sessions here including June 5.
Feel free to attend, ask questions and meet current students and postdocs.

Happy to see this out in @NeuroCellPress. Huikun Wang, a staff scientist in our lab, demonstrates that ventromedial prefrontal cortical dynorphin signaling constrains threat-driven passive defensive behavior and switches in network states. Thread below.

And then this email my box today!! I'm extremely happy and honored to announce that I've been awarded TENURE and promoted to Associate Professor at @DukeU! Huge thanks to my lab, mentors, @DukeBiology, and the amazing community that supported us through this journey! 🍾🍾 #BHM
Really fun visit this week to UMass at Amherst. Many thanks to @FenelonKarine for hosting. It was great hearing about all of the exciting results coming from the Fenelon lab and others! Cheers
Thank you very much @KhaliqLab for visiting UMAss @UNeurosciences and delivering an outstanding presentation on the regulation of striatal dopamine release by axonal control 🤓
Apply for 2024 GRC/GRS Basal Ganglia soon!
Exciting lineup includes @TheErinCalipari, @HongkuiZeng, @ruimcosta, @KateWassum, @lab_bevan, @jones_g_parker , @MatteoCarandini, @blsabatini, @NeuroTejeda, Mitsuko Watabe-Uchida, @BateupLab, @camillabellone, Silvia Arber and others.
