Donaldson Lab Post-Doc @ CU Boulder 🦬 interested in subcortical contributions to social deficits in Alzheimer's disease | Locus coeruleus enthusiast 🔵
New pre-print led by the talented undergrad Alexia with @davidweinshenker.bsky.social

We used chronic DSP-4 treatment to lesion the LC-NE system in young TgF344-AD rats to see whether early degeneration led to accelerated onset of pathology and behavioral deficits.

Impact of early locus coeruleus lesions in the TgF344 Alzheimer’s disease rat model
INTRODUCTION In murine models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), lesioning the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system with DSP-4 exacerbates AD-like neuropathology and cognitive impairment. However, ...

Diversity of ancestral brainstem noradrenergic neurons across species and multiple biological factors
The brainstem region, locus coeruleus (LC), has been remarkably conserved across vertebrates. Evolution has woven the LC into wide-ranging neural circuits that influence functions as broad as autonomi...

Introducing myself on here! I'm a Post-Doc in Zoe Donaldson's lab at CU Boulder interested in using prairie voles to understand social deficits in Alzheimer's disease, with a side interest in the coolest brain region, the locus coeruleus 🔵. Check out two of my most recent publications below:
