🚨New preprint alert🚨
We used closed-loop optogenetics to causally test the importance of inhibitory spike timing in network function and found that manipulating PV+ cell theta phase locking in the dentate gyrus can shift seizure susceptibility (both ways!)

A great post summarizing the current situation with NIH. If NSF follows suit, the impacts on US research & universities will be debilitating.
Please call your reps—you can use Liz’s great script! (if you have anxiety like me, the weekend is a good time because you can leave a voicemail lol)

If you appreciate science & support biomedical research then you should be aware that we all recieved devestating news from NIH today regarding indirect costs. I wrote about it below & gave you a script to call your elected representatives.

New paper out in Cell Reports! Led by @susieyufeng.bsky.social, we found that chronic epilepsy in mice drives distinct synchronization deficits in hippocampus and MEC, with early changes in HPC and late-onset changes in MEC that align with progressive memory impairment.

Interested in how neural communication breaks down in a model of Alzheimer's pathology?
In a new preprint, we found desynchronization in medial entorhinal–hippocampal circuits that coincided with the onset of spatial memory deficits in 3xTg mice. (1/6)

Did 2024 feel LONG to anyone else? A little 2024 recap from me: I defended my PhD and submitted a first author paper describing my thesis work! Look out for a preprint very soon. (1/6)

SO EXCITED to share our latest work demonstrating that the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) regulates stress vulnerability!!!
❓ Do you know what the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) does? No? Neither did we! 🧠
In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability.
