04.10.2025 07:50 — 👍 12 🔁 4 💬 1 📌 1🧠 Wrapping up #BrainDays at #UNGA80!
From borderless research to brain capital & governance, 25–26 Sept brought global leaders together to push brain health to the center of policy, science & society.
🔗 Highlights: www.braincouncil.eu/event-highli...
Patterns of c-Fos expression in the SC, PAG, and HPC reveal a loss of activity in the SC and PAG following extinction-updating but persistent activity of the vCA1. Top left: Engram labeling strategy. Bottom: TRAP2xAi32 mice underwent one of three types of behavioral paradigms; re-exposure (n = 6 mice) vs. no re-exposure (n = 6 mice), extinction (n = 7 mice) vs. innate (n = 8 mice), or updating (n = 11 mice) vs. innate (n = 8 mice). Mice were injected with 4-OHT to transiently induce c-Fos dependent EYFP upon first exposure to the looming stimulus, and later perfused 60 min following stimulus presentation at the end of the behavioral paradigm. Tolp right: Example histology from the SC, with an EYFP+c-Fos+ cell highlighted by the white arrow.
How do we balance innate responses & adaptive learning when reacting to threats? @tjryan.bsky.social &co show that repeated exposure to looming stimuli reduces innate defensive responses via #hippocampal modulation, revealing a vCA1 engram needed for learned #fear @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4pNSnNp

Job Alert!!! We are looking for a motivated postdoc to join a 3-year BBSRC funded project led by my colleague Carl Stevenson (I’m coPI). This multi-disciplinary project will combine in vivo heart rate monitoring and optogenetics with behavioural testing (fear and active avoidance) in rats.
