Understanding the neurophysiological basis of brain disorders.
We ❤️ ion channels.
Good time to mention we are looking for postdocs to help us determine how ion channel dysfunction contributes to disordered behaviors! We cut genes and record things 🧬✂️🔬🧠!
Check out our work here: thejuarezlab.com/
We are thrilled to continue our research focused on Discovering Ion Channel-Based Treatments for Opioid-Use Disorders funded by @CureAddNowOrg at the @UMBaltimore@um_neurobio. Read about our project update below and we will see you at INRC!

Really excited to see this collaborative work out from these awsm groups at @UW! This work uses a new opto-seq approach and multiplexed in situ to characterize VTA marker genes and show diverse activation of VTA cell types by distinct inputs! 🧬🔬🧠
Super excited to finally share this preprint from a collaboration with Marta Soden here at UW! We combined optogenetics with snRNAseq to reveal input- and cell-type-specific activation patterns in the VTA 👇

We are excited to have @fernandeztstar join the Juarez Lab as a RT! Star will be helping us employ CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tech to decipher the cellular basis of disordered behaviors. Find out more about Star, available positions, and the work we do here: thejuarezlab.com/
New from @CaluLab_Bmore (1st author @GyawaliUtsav): Individual differences in dopamine dynamics in BNST of natural and drug reward associated cues depend on the Pavlovian approach strategy employed. @um_mind
Thank you for organizing the celebration for @HHMINEWS#FHScholar! Couldn't think of better lab members and departmental colleagues to share this moment with. Thankful for the supportive environment to build our lab @UABCDIB@UABHeersink
Thank you everyone for coming out to congratulate @mus_elegans on his amazing accomplishment of being selected as an HHMI 2023 Freeman Hrabowski Scholar!

UCSF researchers, led by Prasad Shirvalkar, MD, PhD, and @ChangLab, have reported the first objective biomarkers of chronic pain states from direct neural recordings in the ACC and OFC. OFC signals more strongly correlated with chronic pain. @natureneuroucsf.edu/news/2023/05/425386…
ALT Neural recordings from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC, yellow) can predict episodes of chronic pain in a new study by UCSF researchers published in Nature Neuroscience. Image shows increased signaling from the OFC correlated with higher pain levels seen on a self-reported pain map from a patient with phantom limb pain.

We are still looking for postdocs! More info and ways to reach out here: thejuarezlab.com/positions!
And remember to take care of yourself! ❤️
Thrilled to welcome Bridget Asare-Owusu to the Juarez Lab at @UMBaltimore as a Research Assistant!🥳
Bridget will be working on unraveling the neurophysiological basis of SUD and stress 🧠🧬✂️
Find out more about Bridget here thejuarezlab.com/lab-members and follow her @bridgeinneuro!
The lab just doubled in size (😂) and we want to grow more! We are looking for Post-Docs to join in the next year. If you're interested in dysfunctional decision-making 🐁, cellular excitability 🧠, & gene editing 🧬✂️, check us out: thejuarezlab.com/positions
Interested in joining the University of Maryland's awsm Graduate Program in Neuroscience? 🎓🧠🎓🧠
