The room of attendees at the 2025 CAN Neural Circuits and Behaviour Satellite Meeting.
fantastic day at the 2025 Neural Circuits and Behaviour Satellite meeting! great talks by trainees Xin Zhao, Govind Peringod, Luca Pancotti, and Peiying Wen, and congrats to Govind for his top trainee talk award! so cool to see all the great circuits and behaviour work across the country

Amazing kick off to the @canacn.bsky.social conference with the first public lecture from one of my favorite neuroscientists @sjo09.bsky.social on studying memory in mice using a Taylor Swift theme

Its a long weekend here in Canada, which seems appropriate to mourn our recent @npp-journal.bsky.social paper, in which we find that FAAH inhibition does NOT improve symptoms in PTSD🙁
A heroic effort w/ @cannabrain.bsky.social @connorhaggarty.bsky.social @ryanntansey.bsky.social & many more 🧵⬇️

09.05.2025 16:24 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Yes, we refer to it more as medial basal amygdala but it basically overlaps with what Tonegawa and others call anterior BLA, and visually looks to be pretty much the same localization. We should use this Cre line to look at stress responsiveness in these cells too.

A great week of science @hotchkissbrain.bsky.social
Today @jfcryan.bsky.social is in town for a seminar and next Friday we have our annual @mathisoncentre.bsky.social research day with Nick Gilpin, Rajita Sinha and Markus Heilig focusing on the intersection of stress and addiction
Very cool! This anatomical distribution looks very similar to the subregion of the BLA we find to be activated by stressful and aversive stimuli so that’s nice to see convergence.

A bittersweet farewell to @meghaney.bsky.social after an amazing month of her as a visiting scholar with our cannabis & addiction research groups here at @hotchkissbrain.bsky.social. Lots of great interactions and collaborations with more to come! @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social @borglandlab.bsky.social
