⚛️ In 1925, a 23-year-old on a state-funded university post retreated to a rocky island with hay fever and wrote a paper so strange he wasn't sure it was worth publishing. Schrodinger called it "nonsense." Einstein rejected it. It became the basis of modern technology.

Opening for a postdoc in my neuroscience lab at Pitt using cutting edge population imaging and electrophysiology techniques to map circuits regulating internal states and their manifestations. My contact is on lab website: stujenske-lab.github.io/
we're planning record minis from rat dissociated neurons grown in 225osm neurobasal media. What's the best ACSF recipe to avoid the osmolarity shock? is it better to slowly exchange the media for ACSF as it's done with iPSC cultures? Any other tips? Thanks!! #ephys

🧵When and how does the striatum impact learning? Postdoc Kim Reinhold trained mice to reach for food pellets. They didn't know when the food was available so they had to reach randomly. One day, we provided a cue telling them the food was there.

I’m so excited to share the results of our long-running project. Wonder what happened when we (unexpectedly) removed Nkx2.1-lineage neurons from the lateral septum? Well, it started like that, then grew and grew… Here’s the pre-print - we look forward to any and all feedback!
