Extremely excited & proud to share our new preprint - we provide for the first time a single cell map of the mouse brain across sex, the estrous cycle, and peripartum! Data are 🔥 👇 "Single-cell map of the female brain across reproductive transitions" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Building a strong neuroscience community means actively supporting emerging researchers. Tonight’s Early Career Poster Session offers the perfect opportunity to connect, encourage, & invest in the scientists who will carry the field forward. Drop by! 🔗 sfn.org/ecps #neurosky #SfN25

The ASH Lab is headed to rainy San Diego! Drop by to see our work both tonight at the Early Career Poster Session and in Monday's poster sessions. See below for our lineup!

Ravenelle et al. show that systematically increasing serotonin has sex-specific effects on fear learning in mice. In females only, increasing serotonin in the BNST enhances fear memory by promoting co...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

🎉Celebrated @thefortylab.bsky.social’s move to her assistant professor position at University of Michigan I love ❤️ this photo of Amelia with her mentees! She’s had such a huge impact in the lab! We will miss her tons!! But we’re thrilled to see her in her new role 🧠🧬🔬

It is worth reminding every American today that the people who hid Anne Frank were outlaws. The people who sent her to die in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp were law-abiding citizens.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · last yr.

It is hard to express enough how terrible today's decision is. ICE will now send people to countries they've never been to or even heard of — Mexicans to South Sudan, Vietnamese to Libya, Venezuelans to Kosovo —and those people will have no right to challenge that decision.

The 2024-25 Indiana Pacers forever. I don't know what else to say about that group. I'm going to miss watching them. One of the all-time gutsiest, most resilient basketball teams in NBA history.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is right: Trans and gender-expansive youth are not political pawns. Now, more than ever, we must show up for trans kids and their families.

We know ‘conversion therapy’ doesn’t work because many of us have been subjected to it and still bear the consequences of it today. We will not allow another generation of young LGBTQ+ people to bear this burden. Learn more: www.hrc.org/resources/th...

"Reparative" or "conversion" therapy is a dangerous practice that targets LGBTQ youth and seeks to change their sexual or gender identities.

Lol. They released their 400 page US version of the Cass Review and refused to even name who the authors were. It's a glorified book report. Anyway, this is out now y'all. I'll be looking it over today. opa.hhs.gov/sites/defaul...

WATCH: Dr. Kevin Hall is departing NIH after 21 years at his “dream job.” He says his research findings were being censored under RFK Jr. "What is it going to be like if they want to start actually meddling in the research itself?"

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

We are (sadly) replacing our wonderful research tech who is headed to grad school in the fall. If you, or anyone you know, may be interested, please consider applying! Please RT. @latinasinneuro.bsky.social @blackinneuro.bsky.social #LGBTQInNeuro temple.taleo.net/careersectio...

Our paper is out in DPP! This is the SECOND paper from my lab, but the first headed entirely by summer students: College senior Benjamin Babaev and High school senior Saachi Goyal (!!). They also created an easy to use site so anyone can use the machine learning resource for staging estrous cycle
