So proud of this paper led by Pingping Zhao where we use miniaturized microscopy in nucleus Accumbens and optogenetics to discover how activity in D1 and D2 MSNs reciprocally modulate social interaction and altered in a model of autism.

Cell-type-specific disruption of nucleus accumbens social representations in a mouse model of autism

Zhao et al. show that social information is represented in the nucleus accumbens and becomes unstable in a mouse model of autism. They further identify distinct contributions of D1- and D2-medium...

It has been great collaboration with @DanielBAharoni 's lab, especially @ChangliangGuo. Wonderful @MiniscopeTeam ! The cool MiniXL will enable more exciting work in the near future!

Not feel comfortable to let strangers enter my apt when I'm not home. We scheduled inspection by @LADBS_ and shifted my entire work to previous weekend. After waiting for hours, they said they would not come. Not just once. Not everyone is as free as you guys. Shame on @LADBS_ !

So excited about our new preprint by Pingping Zhao and colleagues on cell-type specific and long-term stability of social representations in the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex! Using miniaturized microscopy and we discover destabilized activity in an autism model.

Excited to share our preprint, the work I’ve done in Golshani lab @pgolshani. Using UCLA Miniscope, I explored NAc neural representation of social interaction and identified representational deficit in Cntnap2 KO mice. More exciting results are coming! Stay tuned.

I'm in US and mom is in surgery in Shanghai. It's impossible to go back immediately. I wish I had a sibling. At this moment, I think those who proposed stupid single child policy in China should be sentenced to death.

Our BRAIN Initiative U01 grant to build open source miniaturized 2 photon miniscopes for large field of view and volumetric imaging officially funded! We have a great team across institutions working together. eurekalert.org/news-releases….

UCLA brain researchers receive $4 million NIH grant to supercharge miniature microscope

The four-year award, part of the NIH’s BRAIN Initiative, will support the design, manufacturing and distribution of two types of new "miniscopes" that will allow scientists to peer much deeper into...

Watched those vlogs on Youtube about people's real experience how they went back and got out of Shanghai. I have so much anger. Parents are still in quarantine at home since April.1st. Have to spend 10x or even more money on food. Stupid people ruin my hometown.

I have done three antigen tests and three PCR tests within ten days (because continuously heard people around tested positive). Still believe masks protect us from virus and help us be responsible to others.

I recently told lab members to ask me any question they wanted and many of their questions were about money. How much do assistant professors make? Difference between soft and hard money positions? etc. 1/5

Cancel registration, I might be unable to get reimbursed for membership and submission fee. I'll lose $160+$145. Not cancel registration, (not interested in virtual conference at all), PI will lose $360. So good at making money @SfNtweets
Society for Neuroscience (SfN)@SfNtweets11 Oct 2021
While we hope you’ll join us for virtual Neuroscience 2021, cancellation of your registration and a refund of your registration fee are available. See the updated policy for specific instructions. bit.ly/3aomMMt

Not interested in virtual meeting at all. Refund please!
Society for Neuroscience (SfN)@SfNtweets8 Oct 2021
The Society for Neuroscience will hold #SfN21 as a fully virtual experience, eliminating all in-person options that had been planned for McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. See our October 8 statement for more details. bit.ly/3aomMMt

I haven't been home for almost five years mostly because of visa issue. Postdocs' life is so hard!
