Whoever wins the #worldseries tonight is going to make a legion of fans for life
The psychology of fans &identification with teams is fascinating
Like goslings, boys imprint on the team that wins when they are young. A championship leads them to identify with a team for life, especially boys 8-12

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

Oprm1-rich D1 islands in the human nucleus accumbens! Looks like a very similar spatial distribution to what is seen in the rodent brain, on the NAc medial and lateral borders. Very curious to know what roles these cells might play in opioid reward and withdrawal!
(4/10) We examine heterogeneity in D1 islands using complementary computational methods, such as matrix factorization and cell type deconvolution, as well as experimental techniques like RNAscope smFISH.
