Incredibly proud of @kxhuang.bsky.social for persisting with such a challenging dataset from her PhD! We found some intriguing genetic targets in a corticostriatal circuit that may be involved in the development of #anorexia nervosa 🤔 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Toward a Genetic Signature of Resistance to Activity‐Based Anorexia in Striatal Projecting Cortical Neurons

Objective Converging evidence from neuroimaging studies and genome-wide association study (GWAS) suggests the involvement of prefrontal cortex (PFC) and striatum dysfunction in the pathophysiology o...

We created a photometry python package for unbiased standardised post-hoc analysis using bootstrapping confidence intervals

No more AUC or time bins analysis! Ever

Follow our simple step by step instructions.

For those hurting after DP EOI outcomes today, courtesy of ChatGPT (I prompted with the first line, it will have to go over 2 posts as it's too long):

Oh ARC, why won't you fund me?
I’ve written papers, set them free,
With research deep and insights bright,
Yet still, no grant, no guiding light.

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

🆕 in DPN‼️

@rossenator.bsky.social & co @einsteinmededu.bsky.social developed an object detection machine learning tool to identify cell types of the estrous cycle in mice, providing a fast & reliable method for estrous cycle monitoring in neuroscience studies!

“To write well is to think clearly” - which is to say that by delegating more and more of your writing effort to AI, you are inviting the slow erosion of your own ability to think clearly.

My favourite fun fact is that their (supposedly hectic) stank is referred to as “peccary perfume” and I think that is just so sweet

All I have seen on here for days is #ACNP2024 posts and the pain of jealousy hurts more than the unquestionable jetlag that would accompany such a trip. How does an extra-US gal like me score an invite for 2025?
