Congratulations to Rebekah Rashford and team, it’s finally out! We tagged early life stress-activated neurons in VTA and found that chromatin those cells was much more open, even into adulthood, and that open CREs predicted greater gene expression in response to stress later in life

Transit will go on strike at VTA in the heart of Silicon Valley on Monday, thanks to ATU. I wonder if this will trigger more conversations about self-driving buses … 1/

New from @dralexharris.bsky.social, Ula Skupio, and myself in @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social: a long in the works review trying to untangle what stress is doing in the VTA, and what the piles of confusing data might teach us about what the VTA is doing at all.

Untangling the multifaceted VTA responses to stress
Stress has profound impacts on the ventral tegmental area (VTA). However, the complex and opposing effects of stress on the VTA have limited our abili…

So excited to share my first project on VTA GABA neurons!
Sad to miss #ACNP2024 but check out our new studies by the amazing @margestelzner.bsky.social - comparing dopamine vs GABA neurons in the VTA in different forms of learning - our results support an overall re-evaluation of midbrain representation of valence and appetitive motivation (thread)

For #FluorescenceFriday - pretty image of ventral tegmental area (VTA) in the mouse 🧠 labeled with tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) 🟣. Red and green are from experiments trying to virally label various projection neurons targeting the brainstem and midbrain 🔬🧪

Going to become a guy who advocates for better public transport not because of the benefits to society it would bring, but because it would make me da king of da highway babee
I love driving but to do it day after day on longer and longer work commutes is not something I want for me or anyone. Provide folks with multimodal options, get them out of cars and onto trains and buses that run frequently and reliably. That means completing streets and densifying our land uses.

How do VTA DA neurons sculpt downstream representations to reinforce actions? VERY excited about our new preprint (by Alex Pan Vazquez & @czimmerman.bsky.social )

Starting my loop of the South Bay by transit with a 9-month-old on the VTA 56 from Cupertino to the VTA orange line. Yes the VTA light rail will be useful. #bayloop
Follow along for all the fun!

Very excited to share this major update to our paper delineating VTA GABA neuron encoding of valence and decision conflict. Studies led by the amazing @margestelzner.bsky.social. We leaned in here, taking the opportunity to add a lot of cool new data. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
