Haven’t shared with many, but in Oct I transitioned to industry from my postdoc. I haven’t talked about it bc tbh I’ve been feeling a lot of guilt and weird emotions about the decision. I wasn’t quite ready to make the leap, but for personal reasons this is where I needed to be.

New paper out in @CellReports! Led by @susie_feng, we found that chronic epilepsy in mice drives distinct synchronization deficits in hippocampus and MEC, with early changes in HPC and late-onset changes in MEC that align with progressive memory deficits. cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

NEW PREPRINT! Led by @susie_feng, we characterized memory impairment and entorhinal-hippocampal desynchronization in epileptic mice. We found early hippocampal deficits and late-onset MEC deficits that emerged with progressively worse cognitive impairment. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Distinct changes to hippocampal and medial entorhinal circuits emerge across the progression of...

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) causes pervasive and progressive memory impairments, yet the specific circuit changes that drive these deficits remain unclear. To investigate how hippocampal-entorhinal...

BREAKING: Ke Huy Quan just won an #Oscar at the Academy Awards for best supporting actor for his role in 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' "Mom, I just won an Oscar!!" For those unaware Ke Huy Quan spent a year with his family in a Hong Kong refugee camp before arriving in the United States of America in 1979. What an incredible comeback and incredible story.

〰️New preprint alert!〰️ Say hello to PhaSER: an open-source tool that you (yes, you!) can use to perform real-time phase-estimation and phase-specific manipulations. Here we show that PhaSER can directly manipulate the phase-locking of SOM+ interneurons in awake, behaving mice!

My sister—a doctor, professor, scientific author, and world famous mycologist, as these things go—got this email seconds after her dope ass NPR segment on The Last of Us and the representation of fungi in media. Can you imagine

If you're at #ACNP2022 make sure to check out my all-star postdoc @zachtpennington's poster tonight. Excited to share his work on neural circuit plasticity and stress ⚡️
Headshot of Zachary Pennington, PhD with details for his poster presentation at the ACNP Annual Meeting 2022. Tuesday 12/6 from 5:30 to 7:30, Dr. Pennington will present Poster T90 titled "Plasticity in Dissociable Neural Circuits Supports the Divergent Consequences of Severe Stress" -- The Cai Lab logo is also included

I got a check-in email from my advisor saying, " I haven't heard from you in a while - how are you doing?" Find a supportive advisor, and it makes a huge difference. Choose a Ph.D. program based on advisor and support, not ranking. @AcademicChatter @Momademia

Sadly, the same in industry. Unfair and unfortunate for the patients.

Why does epilepsy get so little funding from @NINDSfunding @NIH @NIHFunding compared to other neurological disorders? Funding data for 2022 collected from NIH report. #NEAM2022 #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth

Since this is the first in-person SfN in years, can we start a jobs thread to help folks find potential fits? If you're hiring, or if you're looking for a job (tech, student, postdoc) in neuroscience soon, chime in below #sfn22 also goes for ppl not attending in-person :)

Great to have this @igisci @UCBerkeley study out in Nature Biomedical Engineering @natBME! We develop and integrate an extraction-free, attomolar-sensitivity CRISPR diagnostic test into a microfluidic cartridge and real-time detection device capable of detecting any RNA sequence
