Abril Morales & co demonstrate that neurons lacking MECP2 show signs of elevated DNA damage and senescence transcriptional signatures, which could contribute to phenotypes in patients with Rett syndrome. doi.org/10.1242/dmm....

I can’t stop replaying the #memories from our first-ever New York Memory Hub conference! So grateful to everyone who made it a success and inspired us with their research 🧠

New paper alert!🚨📝
Paper: tinyurl.com/2cycsy6d

How the brain 🧠 engages in change-of-mind decisions taps into cognitive biases that depend on sensitivity to sunk costs & regret - both of which may contribute to negative rumination…however…🧵👇1/6 #ScienceAdvances

Change-of-mind neuroeconomic decision-making is modulated by LINC00473 in medial prefrontal cortex in a sex-dependent manner
Long non-coding RNA LINC00473 in mPFC alters change-of-mind re-evaluative decision-making behavior related to negative rumination.

The Cai Lab is at @mpfneuro.bsky.social's Emerging Neurotechnology course this week, running a #Miniscope workshop. The course kicked off Monday with an AMAZING keynote by Nobel Laureate @stefanhelllabs.bsky.social.
Looking forward to the rest of the week’s activities! 🤓 #Neuroskyence

I am so happy to share that our lab was awarded our first (!!!) R01, the Stephen Katz R01 through NIDA! This award will allow our lab to expand into the fields of reward and addiction, where we will examine the prefrontal GABAergic circuits of adaptive and maladaptive reward seeking! We're hiring!
