It finally happened, the Castro lab's first paper! Congrats to
@katybraden.bsky.social
!! In this review we examine what we know, and more importantly, what we DON'T know about neuropeptides in the dorsal raphe/ventromedial PAG. Here we go! www.frontiersin.org/journals/beh...

Excited to host @flanbrain.bsky.social !

#acnp2024 open position at UM Pharmacology. Happy to answer questions!

To cap off an incredible week at #ACNP2024 I woke up to the Notice of Award for my NRSA!!!

I am so grateful for this opportunity to grow and develop more as a scientist. Thank you @flanbrain.bsky.social for your support and incredible mentorship! I’m so excited for this next chapter of my career!

If you are still at #ACNP2024 and are interested in the locus coeruleus and/or the amygdala, please stop by my poster from the @mbruchas lab examining how both nodes of this circuit mediate stress-induced anxiety-like behavior tonight (W169)!

Hey #ACNP2024 - we seem to have quite a few stellar early career researchers on (or about to be on) the job market

If you know of any current/upcoming openings, maybe you can drop them here so you can recruit these all-stars 🤩
