New paper from @Datta_Lab with a little help from yours truly, using MoSeq to show that female exploratory behavior in mice is in fact TWICE as stable as that in males, and that estrous cycle has only a negligible effect on behavioral variation.

Female mice are studied less than males in part because of a belief held by some that the estrous cycle makes all female mouse behavior more variable. But is this true? Check out our latest, led by @danarubilevy in collab with @shanskylab !

It always warms my heart when the iontophoretic cell filling torch is passed. Check out these gorgeous BLA cells our postdoc @mikaelawave filled today! Images taken @ 20x on our Keyence. Can’t wait to see them on the confocal!

Answers from @women_neurosci to the common question, do you have to house males and females separately? For rats, NO. In fact, females cycle more regularly when males are around & it doesn't stress the males. In mice, though, you may want to. #SfN18

Saying goodbye to the lab for the last time in 2020. May 2021 bring paper acceptances, awesome data, amazing new lab members, and travel!! (last one’s a stretch I know, but on Christmas we can be honest about our wishes)

Who's looking forward to #StayConnectedNeuro this week? I for one am super excited to hear @houseofmind speak about her work on the interactions between the dopamine system and stress during the postpartum period.

I can't help myself, when we get a nice image I have to tweet. The lab is dipping our toes in the FiPho world, recording in long range PFC projections using retrograde jGCaMP8s. Couldn't see any labeling at first slice, but a little IHC for GFP worked like gangbusters!

Wondering when to say “sex” vs. “gender” in preclinical research? This fantastic article by @moriah_jacobson breaks it down:

Thanks for the great write-up, @storiesofwin ! I think a big message of my story is, you don’t have to have everything figured out from the beginning—sometimes just keeping moving forward can get you where you need to be.

Does being in the same covid pod mean your fashion choices start to cycle together? PhD students Julia and Patricia independently wore our unofficial lab t-shirt today, designed by @markgbaxter 💗

Ooh I love getting new things going! @mikaelawave has started doing USV recordings during fear conditioning and I am extremely excited. Turns out rats don’t like getting shocked.

Love to close out the week with a "basically accepted" on a new SABV Perspective piece, written with the amazing @AnneZMurphy ! Looking forward to sharing it in '21 and continuing conversations on how scientific culture will need to adapt to make SABV initiatives successful.

Congrats to Viv Sheppard, who absolutely crushed her Masters talk today! A beautiful neuroanatomical analysis of sex diffs in ACC projections to the PAG. Can’t wait to get these data out!

When you encourage students to look online for an answer to a question you didn’t know off the top of your head and they find the answer in… ...the book you edited.
