Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service of basic discovery:

I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with the amazing lead authors Isaac Kauvar @ikauvar, Ethan Richman, and Tony Liu @liutony66, and with equally brilliant faculty colleagues in our HNC program: Carolyn Rodriguez @CRodriguezMDPhD, Paul Nuyujukian, and Vivek Buch @VivekBuchMD, along with many other key collaborators spanning hospital and laboratory. xitter.cf/KarlDeisseroth/status/…
The next gen of HNC is already on the way! Left to right: @SamVesuna (MD PhD psychiatry resident), @ikauvar (PhD neuroengineer), @chibyanada (program manager extraordinaire), & @liutony66 (bioengineering PhD student). New/improved in all ways, with better album cover picture too.

Are you joking? Heaps of necessary costs to conduct research are not allowed in the direct costs; this money is not arbitrary administrative costs. It's a necessary component of the research enterprise.

Alright Nobel committee, no more shenanigans. Optogenetics for the Chemistry prize tomorrow!

Story finally out ⭐️ We found that hypothalamic oxytocin cells in maternal mice receive inputs from the auditory thalamus, increase their activity following distress pup vocalizations to release central oxytocin and modulate behavior
