Seeing this shit makes me ask myself why bother but then I remember that’s what they want me to think and feel. I end up somewhere between the two feelings and hope that we’ll see the other side of this nightmare.
Happy to share the newest study from our lab, led by superstar postdoc Dr. Rodrigo Campos Cardoso, where we resolve the infralimbic cortex GABAergic circuits of fear extinction: tinyurl.com/38vvr2my
Getting scored is a nice accomplishment these days! Great starting point
Hey ventral pallidum fans, see our new paper showing that #VP GABA neurons, known for reward, also regulate aversive motivation! Inhibiting these cells with #DREADDs potentiates active or passive defenses to threats, likely via LHb.
Congrats to Erica Ramirez & Marty Martinez!

Should have gone Sands Light
I had such a great time at #ACNP2026 where I got to reconnect with and meet new friends! I can’t thank @acnporg.bsky.social enough for the travel award and am really excited for San Diego in 2027!
Deal breaker if I only want to send in my ACT score?
wrt discovering and developing curative therapies, the taxpayer is already driving this through public funding of research, with the crown jewel being the NIH whose operations have been significantly stymied since January 2025
Congrats man!
Pretty rich for the leader of this nation to be talking about stolen land
Congrats! Looking forward to reading!
very excited to share some of the final bits of work from my PhD! 🎉 we find that phasic DA in the accumbens simultaneously tracks persistent motivation towards reward cues in addition to new learning (but maybe not RPE?!) in sign-tracking rats. check out the preprint below!
weight down, less food consumed, learning normal, but motivation up!
Almost $16 million for 10 conference wins between those two programs. Time to get DOGE on the case.
Need more structured disorder
We will fund the most meritorious of proposals but also we have to consider how we geographically allocate funds
Seeing the recent breadcrumbs about NIH has this postdoc pretty sad about K99 chances
Won’t be at SfN but sounds like great work! Enjoy some tacos for me
Working towards it!
Oh man great news! Congrats Raaj!
The Gowrishankar lab will be opening its doors @neuro_MUSC on Dec 1, 2025! We will be hiring at all levels. I will also be at @SfNtweets presenting my lab's vision on Wednesday, Nov 19, 8AM-12PM at poster board GG7. If you're interested, please reach out!

Folks at SfN come see the first Fraser Lab poster ever at FF6 on Tuesday Nov 18, 8am. Serena Miller has oodles of data to share on a new direction for us. Also, that day happens to be my birthday so you have to come say hi or else
I was told by someone in my dept that I was wasting time by not using AI to help with x, y, and z and I was like…isn’t the point to learn how to do things??
