Check out this write-up on JRT, an LSD analogue created at the #UCDavisIPN published last week in @pnas.org. Thanks to BBRF for highlighting our research on how swapping just two atoms could change how schizophrenia is treated. Read more about our latest study here:

Thank you, Greg Watry, for this write-up on JRT, our non-hallucinogenic LSD analog from the #UCDavisIPN. This compound has the potential to treat patients affected by schizophrenia! @ucdavismedschool.bsky.social @ucdlands.bsky.social @ucdaviscns.bsky.social

I'm looking for a new full-time research assistant ("junior specialist"). It's not quite "lab manager" because I have someone who takes care of the administrative tasks, and here I'm looking for someone to help us get research done! Info is below, please pass on to any talented candidates, thanks!

The Oehrn Lab @carinaoehrn.bsky.social at CNS is hiring two postdocs in human intracranial neurophysiology and neuromodulationโ€”studying cognitive and emotional processing in the cerebellum and basal ganglia. Learn more: oehrnlab.ucdavis.edu/open-positions

Whatโ€™s at stake if federal #NIH research funding is cut? Hereโ€™s just one example of a life-changing breakthrough made possible by NIH grants. Tell Congress to #saveNIHresearch at ucal.us/saveNIHresearch #ALS #stroke @ucdavis.bsky.social @ucdavishealth.bsky.social

If you're using TetTag mice to label "engram cells" you might be interested in our recent paper. We discovered an issue with a popular strain from Jackson that contains fos-shEGFP. Endogenous levels of c-Fos expression appear to be massively increased when performing IHC. doi.org/10.3389/fnbe...

Super-psyched to share this preprint from my student Yicong (Alan) Zheng: "Recurrent Inhibitory Dynamics in the Entorhinal Cortex Support Pattern Separation" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... It's a new biologicaly-based computational model of the entorhinal-hippocampal system. Thread (1/?)
