How does the brain decide what’s dangerous — and what’s safe - after just one experience? 🧠
In our latest study, we developed a single-episode Differential Signaled Active Avoidance (DSAA) paradigm to separate acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval of avoidance memory.
Emotional memories persist because the prefrontal cortex engages distinct protein synthesis programs to store memories and to update them during retrieval. Read more in our latest work:

We @ShresthaLab enjoyed a hearty home-cooked meal (plus Secret Santa, ping-pong, and Bingo to add to the fun) to celebrate the holiday season, especially as we near our lab’s 5-year birthday! 🎉 Wishing you and your (lab) families a joyful holiday break.

I’m excited to share our latest work examining why stress-related anxiety is so common in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting ~1 in 6,000 individuals worldwide.

It was my pleasure to host our NBB seminar speaker, Dr Dayu Lin @moccalin last Thursday. What a genuinely remarkable scientist, speaker and science communicator! Her seminar on Neuroplasticity underlying parenthood was exemplarily lucid and appreciated by all. 🙌

Warm welcome to our incoming PhD students—especially our former lab manager, Andrew Gallagher, and rotation student, Pat Wertimer! Until this summer, Pat was a lab technician in the Heintz lab @RockefellerUniv, where I completed my PhD. In a way, a full circle moment. :)

Our talented undergraduate RA, Amber Wilson, was awarded the Frances Velay Women in Science Fellowship this summer to investigate the neural mechanisms of avoidance learning and memory in the medial prefrontal cortex. Check out her interview here! youtube.com/watch?v=BYcvW8sj…
Another fantastic news: Our postdoc, Javed Iqbal, has also been awarded the TPDA travel award from SfN. Please look out for their posters at @SfNtweets this November!! 🎇
We have updated the News section of our lab website to highlight recent developments since June 2024. Updates include new publications, awards, presentations, and other accomplishments by our team. Check them out! shresthalab.org/news
Congratulations to our PhD student, Saheed Lawal, on receiving the Trainee Professional Development Award (TPDA) from the Society for Neuroscience (SfN)! 🎉 Way to go, @@Lawdex01! 🙌✨
