Check out my most recent paper published in #eNeuro

A pre and post spiking protocol depresses claustrocortical EPSPs, unless you perform the same protocol in the presence of DOI, then the polarity reverses into potentiation! We also see some DOI effects on spike kinetics.

Psychedelic 5-HT2A receptor agonism alters neurovascular coupling and differentially affects neuronal and hemodynamic measures of brain function Nature Neuroscience - Padawer-Curry et al. show that the hallucinogenic 5-HT2A receptor agonist DOI alters neurovascular coupling in mice, with implications for the interpretation of human fMRI...

🚨 New science alert! Our cross-species study, now in Nature Neuroscience, demonstrates psychedelics distort how we should interpret functional brain imaging.

Excited to share our latest publication -- psychedelic drugs can enhance synaptic connectivity of neurons not expressing 5-HT2ARs (but requiring 5-HT2AR expression in the input neurons -- lots in the supplementals too!)

Somehow we got almost all the students and postdocs in one photo!!

Until next time #GRCPsychedelics 🫡

Having the best time at #GRCPsychedelics so far catching up with friends, seeing cool new science, presenting my poster, and even going to the beach today during the break!

Delighted to be part of the first Gordon Conference devoted to psychedelics #GRCPsychedlics. My message this morning: science is in this dark place now partly because we spend all of our time and effort in the lab. Get out and talk about your science with the public! Your science will benefit too!

I have successfully finished my PhD in neuroscience and I am stoked to announce that I am starting my postdoctoral work in the Kaye Lab at Yale University in a few days! I will continue to study the neurobiology of psychedelics there. Exciting things ahead!

What a journey it’s been! Tomorrow is my PhD defense 🙀 A little bittersweet, but I’m excited to share my dissertation work and move on to the next phase of my career
