Our paper providing transcriptomic profiles of lateral septum (LS) cell types in human 🧠 is now online: www.cell.com/iscience/ful... All data and code are publicly available online (links in the paper) and we provide an interactive web-based app to explore the data: libd.shinyapps.io/LS_snRNAseq/

Using #FluorescenceFriday to highlight a specialized population of neurons in the lateral septum that may comprise a hormone-sensitive memory engram to suppress conditioned fear responses when females are in the high hormone phase of the reproductive cycle. Interested? Come see my talk at #ACNP2024!

Our new preprint using sex-biased genes for accurate deconvolution of sample identity in single cell transcriptomics is out! This work (led by PhD student Guy Twa and @rphillips3.bsky.social) may be useful for labs that incorporate both sexes in single cell RNA-seq. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hi! With the neuroscience influx to bluesky, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a postdoc with @martinowk.bsky.social using cross-species approaches to study cell types and circuitry important for social behaviors that are often dysregulated in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Make sure your PhD advisor appreciates art like mine did. Alternate title for this piece was "too hot to handle" (alternate title by @zipperlym.bsky.social )
