Beautiful Festschrift in honour of Joe LeDoux. Filled with music, fond memories and fun. Plus an amazing line up of scientists from all the many Eras of Joe’s work

tldr. easy summary of the findings.

Finally, with amazing help from Brandon Walters, who made a Cre-dependent Crispr construct to knockdown CB1 receptors in PV+ LA neurons, we found we could normalize both the size/sparsity of the engram ensemble and restore specific memory retrieval.

How was the function of LA PV+ interneurons inhibited? With a huge contribution from
@cannabrain.bsky.social, we found that acute stress increases release of the endocannabinoid AEA in the LA and AEA retrogradely inhibited the function of PV+ interneurons.

How does acute stress or CORT increase the size of the LA engram ensemble? We found that the activity of the gate-keeper PV+ interneurons in the LA was disrupted (allowing too many neurons into the engram ensemble).

Using a fun method to tag active neurons at 3 distinct time points, we found that stress or systemic CORT increased the density of the engram ensemble in lateral amygdala and this less sparse engram was reactivated by both the trained CS (CS+) as well as a non-trained CS (CS-).

Traded my first friendship bracelet at the SickKids friendship tree this morning! Set up to welcome Taylor to Tayronto.

If anyone is going to ECNP in Barcelona, this ALBA event should be fun!

Delighted to share our preview of
@GoshenInbal, @RefaeliRon's cool paper on engram evolution over time (drift, stability). Kudos to Asim Rashid and Ali Golbabaei! sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
And the original paper. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Always fun science in @CurrentBiology

Just got this fun pic of a great visit to Zurich. I wore black thinking it would make me look taller standing next to amazing scientist Sebastian Jessberger. Little did I know he adopted the same strategy!

20 yrs ago, my Mum, sister and I hailed a cab in downtown Toronto to my wedding to @franklandlab.bsky.social. Would do it again today (but may opt for subway!).

Shibuya Sky in Tokyo. Amazing views — even for someone like me with incredible fear of heights!

On long flite to Japan and watched the Blackberry movie. Feeling very nostalgic for my first smart phone. My thumb muscles were in fantastic shape back then! next up, Steve Jobs movie!

First Bluesky post! Me and a sorta blue sky. At top of CN tower (beautiful concrete brutalist structure and tallest building in North America)! Super scary for me (huge fear of heights).
