Bahh the paper is out! Couldn't have asked for a better way to finish the 23rd grade! And thank y'all for reading. Hope you like it. Hit me up if y'all have questions :)

Mechanosensation is directly linked with reproductive health. Our new study, led by @RubyMLam, uses human genetics, imaging, and behavior to uncover how PIEZO2 and specialized perineal touch neurons influence sexual function. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Curious about how mice follow odor trails? Excited to share our latest (long-time brewing)! We watched mice on an "endless" treadmill. Combining experiments with Bayesian modeling we show that mice use predictive (not reactive) strategies!

New paper alert! Excited to share the fruits of an amazing collab with @Ananya_MC, Alessandro Luchetti, @alcinojsilva, @YiotaPoirazi and others : an LC-dCA1 dopamine circuit modulates memory linking. @NeuroCellPress

Delighted to share our study led by @Ananya_MC and with @YiotaPoirazi’s group: dopaminergic Locus Coeruleus to dCA1 projection (not dCA3) modulates memory linking across time by controlling excitability and the overlap between memory ensembles in dCA1 authors.elsevier.com/a/1ffq53BtfH1Y…

Please share: We are seeking new postdoctoral fellows. NIH is a fabulous place to do science and I'd like to think our group is doing exciting work in somatosensation, Interoception and pain. training.nih.gov/jobs/pdf-04012… nccih.nih.gov/about/jobs/pos…

4 people in the group moving on to better places: postbac got into multiple grad schools (including some school in Boston), grad student defended & started her postdoc at MIT, and 2 postdocs just got job offers! Looks like it’s time to start recruiting. Postdoc ad coming soon.

Just out our new research paper! We identify PIEZO2-dependent rapid pain system in humans and mice. The work led jointly by @OtmaneBouchatta and @M_Brodzki in a close-knit joint effort of @saadsnagi and @SzczotLab groups. 🧵 1/10 👇doi.org/10.1101/2023.1…


Off to #SFN2023! See my sexy poster from work done in @Alex_Chesler Lab Monday afternoon AA12 /PSTR272.12

A new report in @ScienceMagazine from @Alex_Chesler and colleagues at NCCIH, @BrownUniversity, @NIDCR, @scrippsresearch, & @NINDSnews shows that the protein PIEZO2, which is involved in mechanical sensation, plays a key role in reproductive health. nccih.nih.gov/research/resea…

Super exciting study from @Alex_Chesler lab and featuring @RubyMLam: highlighting the potency of using both human and mouse genetics to get a mechanistic insight into a fundamental biological question.

Great study and fruitful collaboration with the Chesler lab. We continue learning new roles of mechanosensation via Piezo2!

When you have a 'gut feeling' it might be mechanosensation! Your gut is in constant motion and these movements are sensed by neurons and regulate GI motility. We describe the role of sensory neuron PIEZO2 in regulating gut function in mice and in humans: cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Hi Philososcientists! Sorry we will not be streaming tonight while we deal with some exciting PhD things. See ya'll next week for an episode on Neuroaesthetics. Meanwhile, some of our old streams in podcast form is available here! anchor.fm/philscienceing

I spent a lot of time on this in the hopes that graduate students find it to be a helpful resource. A guide for finding, applying for, and choosing a postdoc. Things to think about. ubadahsabbagh.com/guide-to-postd…

Dear @HamillHimself, my close friend and colleague @ardemp just won the @NobelPrize for helping uncover how we sense the force. I'd be forever grateful if you might send him and all of us scientists out there studying mechanosensation, touch and pain a shout out.
