In a new paper, we analyze published RNAseq and discover impact to the expression of transposable element transcripts in the brains of people with major depressive disorder. Natalie Truby, a recent-grad from the lab, spearheaded this work.

Check out my first review with @drnancypadilla.bsky.social 🎉🐊☀️

How dopamine guides our social world » McKnight Brain Institute » University of Florida Drs. Nancy Padilla-Coreano and Freddyson Martínez-Rivera published a review in the journal Pharmacological Reviews.

Together with my colleague @freddysonj.bsky.social I wrote a review about how dopamine shapes our social world.

This speaks to the importance of cross-species research that is constantly forward- & back-translated between the clinic & lab. The importance of animal models leading to unanticipated discoveries - even in the realm of human psychology - is invaluable, especially in psychiatry🧠 tinyurl.com/yur3j2n8

Cocaine and morphine induce shared and divergent transcriptional regulation in nucleus accumbens D1 and D2 medium spiny neurons - Molecular Psychiatry Molecular Psychiatry - Cocaine and morphine induce shared and divergent transcriptional regulation in nucleus accumbens D1 and D2 medium spiny neurons

Happy to share our new paper in Molecular Psychiatry, co-led by Philipp Mews with @ericjnestler.bsky.social, where we compare how cocaine and morphine cause cell-type-specific transcriptional restructuring in the nucleus accumbens to inform processes occurring in SUD. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

And many thanks to the reviewers!
