Updated preprint! How does our prefrontal cortex help us avoid threats? Here @michaelgongwer and @casklune show that three classes of mPFC projection neurons have specialized roles in threat avoidance. 1/n🧵biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Social interaction difficulties is a key characteristic of Autism Spectrum Condition… But really hard to reliably assess in mice. Here’s a novel assay in head-fixed mice from Portera-Cailliau lab and talented Phd candidate Trishala Chari biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Real talk. Say what you want about our unions’ demands but @UofCalifornia showed up an hour late to the bargaining table today after fully canceling bargaining sessions yesterday. When they say they are bargaining in good faith, that’s a *bold face lie*

Do you do behavior?
Do you use markerless pose tracking? (eg @DeepLabCut)
Do you want to reliably reproduce and automate your analysis (especially freezing)?
New no-code MATLAB app just dropped 🔥 My first postdoc paper from @ladenardo lab, with lead @cjgabrie28 and many others!
New paper from the lab! @cjgabrie28, @BrainOfZedZed and Benita Jin developed BehaviorDEPOT, an open source software program for behavioral analysis based on markerless pose tracking (1/n) elifesciences.org/articles/7…

New review together with @DeBiaseLM! This represents the beginning of an exciting collaboration between authors @SaraBlagburn and @MegSChappell. Looking forward to seeing what they go on to discover about how microglia regulate developing mPFC circuits! frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

New preprint ! Developmental bio/neurobiology crisis ?! Still, I am pleased to share my postdoctoral work deciphering neonatal interneuron alterations in a mouse model of Fragile X syndrome - Portera-Cailliau lab, UCLA. Thread 1/10

Prefrontal neurons collateralize... a lot! Excited to share this preprint on prefrontal axon anatomy with @ladenardo and @casklune!
New lab preprint! @casklune and @michaelgongwer mapped the 3D axon collaterals of prefrontal neurons that project to contralateral mPFC, NAc or VTA using DeepTraCE, a deep learning-based analysis pipeline we developed with @_Friedmann_ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

BREAKING: UC agrees to recognize SRU-UAW in its entirety! This historic victory was brought about by the tireless efforts of thousands of SRs who organized to win a union & a direct response to our massive Strike Authorization Vote. Now let’s win a strong contract for all SRs!
ALT A graphic showing Student Researchers holding signs and speaking into megaphones, microphones, and bullhorns. The images are assembled from various SRU actions. Text is imposed on the signs so that they read, “SRU-UAW is officially recognized by UC! We won our union!” The left half of the background is yellow and it changes via a gradient into blue.

Thrilled and honored to have been selected as a Klingenstein-Simons Fellow this year!
Congratulations to @ladenardo, one of the 2021 Klingenstein-Simons fellows. This support will help accelerate her work to pinpoint connections between neurons, adaptive behaviors, and psychiatric disorders ➨ bit.ly/3wGAP9I
Our review (aka our quarantine project) is out today! If you are interested in mPFC development and/or emotional memory and cognitive flexibility, give it a read!
Hot off the press: check out our new article in @eLife ! We discuss how the development of mPFC circuitry aligns with the maturation of fear memory and cognitive flexibility. Fantastic work from @casklune and Benita Jin! elifesciences.org/articles/6…
