How does the brain decide what’s dangerous — and what’s safe - after just one experience? 🧠
In our latest study, we developed a single-episode Differential Signaled Active Avoidance (DSAA) paradigm to separate acquisition, consolidation, and retrieval of avoidance memory.

I’m excited to share our latest work examining why stress-related anxiety is so common in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC), a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting ~1 in 6,000 individuals worldwide.

It was my pleasure to host our NBB seminar speaker, Dr Dayu Lin @moccalin last Thursday. What a genuinely remarkable scientist, speaker and science communicator! Her seminar on Neuroplasticity underlying parenthood was exemplarily lucid and appreciated by all. 🙌

And a warm welcome to our incoming MS students as well - including Lily Corrice who is joining @ShresthaLab for her MS thesis!

Warm welcome to our incoming PhD students—especially our former lab manager, Andrew Gallagher, and rotation student, Pat Wertimer! Until this summer, Pat was a lab technician in the Heintz lab @RockefellerUniv, where I completed my PhD. In a way, a full circle moment. :)

Our talented undergraduate RA, Amber Wilson, was awarded the Frances Velay Women in Science Fellowship this summer to investigate the neural mechanisms of avoidance learning and memory in the medial prefrontal cortex. Check out her interview here! youtube.com/watch?v=BYcvW8sj…

Such a pleasure to host @RangarajuVidhya, who gave a *terrific* talk today on molecular mechanisms that provide spatially-restricted energy supply to fuel local synaptic plasticity!

I am very proud of our brilliant Postdoc @SunghoonKim0825 for securing a coveted faculty job in S Korea (details to come soon). Bittersweet moments of bidding farewell to our star researcher who is soon heading his own lab- look out for great science from the Kim Lab! 🎉

This @stonybrooku assistant professor is using her #SUNYResearch to make advancements in mental health.👏🏼 Thanks to a $2.2M grant from @NIMH, Dr. Prerana Shrestha will explore how protein synthesis in areas of the brain leads to PTSD memories.

We are recruiting 1-2 postdocs to join our team in studying the circuit-defined molecular mechanisms underlying emotional memories.
Experience with mol/cell and/or systems/behavior neuroscience is preferred. Please email Prerana with a cover letter & CV. shresthalab.org/news

✨ Job alert ✨
Our postdoc position is open for applications! Please spread the word. stonybrooku.taleo.net/career…
Our lab actively seeks to create a culture where respect, diversity, equity & inclusion form the foundation of how we conduct ourselves. Come join us!
