Psychedelic Electrophysiology | Postdoc in the Kaye Lab at Yale University | tanner.anderson@yale.edu

New Kaye Lab preprint is out now! We used longitudinal dendritic spine imaging, synaptic proteomics, mini scope calcium imaging, and electrophysiology to study MDMA-induced plasticity and representational drift during fear extinction! 🔗⬇️

Check out my most recent paper published in #eNeuro A pre and post spiking protocol depresses claustrocortical EPSPs, unless you perform the same protocol in the presence of DOI, then the polarity reverses into potentiation! We also see some DOI effects on spike kinetics.

New in #eNeuro from Anderson et al: Psychedelics strengthen synapses on claustrum neurons that project to the anterior cingulate cortex in male rats. vist.ly/4bwdb

Excited to share our latest publication -- psychedelic drugs can enhance synaptic connectivity of neurons not expressing 5-HT2ARs (but requiring 5-HT2AR expression in the input neurons -- lots in the supplementals too!) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted to be part of the first Gordon Conference devoted to psychedelics #GRCPsychedlics. My message this morning: science is in this dark place now partly because we spend all of our time and effort in the lab. Get out and talk about your science with the public! Your science will benefit too!

I have successfully finished my PhD in neuroscience and I am stoked to announce that I am starting my postdoctoral work in the Kaye Lab at Yale University in a few days! I will continue to study the neurobiology of psychedelics there. Exciting things ahead!
