Led by Neil Vasdev @camhnews scientists are developing a new tool to detect #CTE in living humans. Consequences of CTE are #mentalillness , addiction, & most tragically death. Only then is CTE detected. Huge implications for early intervention & prevention.

Excited to share our new preprint: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… with Joe Cheer, Reana and collaborators! Prenatal THC exposure predisposes male offspring to dopaminergic and neural encoding abnormalities related to excessive opioid reinforcement.

Excited to announce our group's first manuscript on BioRXIV! 🎉 We investigate the conserved and distinct molecular signatures of AUD and OUD. Check it out! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my graduate school experience has been TAing Friedman Brain Institute’s Effective Science Communication (ESC) course. It has been a safe space for develop as a communicator and scientist, while also providing long lasting relationships.

Really important work outlining how inpatient treatment promotes shifts in frontal cortex activity and associated behavioral control in OUD. Sure to be an important reference for the field. Congrats Ahmet O. Ceceli NARC and team!

Check out our latest preprint unveiling sex-specific regulation of stress susceptibility by the astrocytic gene Htra1, shedding light on the crucial role of the extracellular matrix. Huge thanks to coauthors and supporters for making this possible! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Cocaine seems to hijack brain pathways that prioritise food and water newscientist.com/article/242753…

Please see this article published today in Science Magazine, which represents a spectacular collaboration between my lab and two close colleagues at Rockefeller University, Jeff Friedman and Alipashi Vaziri, and was performed by Bowen Tan, Caleb Browne, and Tobias Nöbauer. Friedman Brain Institute

Extremely proud to share this work with mastermind Bowen Tan and Tobias Nöbauer representing an awesome collaboration across the labs of Vaziri Lab, Jeffery Friedman, and Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD now out in Science Magazine. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Truly an honour to get to present at CAMH Research #womenmind2024 - huge thanks to Dr. Liisa Galea for this opportunity!
There is a massive gap in our understanding of how sex and gender influence brain and behaviour. Big data and brain-based predictive models can fill that gap!

Packed house for day 2 of CAMH #womenmind24 meeting! Incredible lineup of speakers - Cecilia Flores presenting here. Dr. Liisa Galea

Thrilled to share our latest paper in Science Signaling! Our subcellular proteomics study revealed how cocaine dynamically influences protein translocation onto and off chromatin in the nucleus accumbens. Fun project w/ Lucas Sosnick Simone Sidoli & Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Very cool work from Philipp Mews and Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD looking at how cocaine drives multilevel proteomic restructuring in the cell.
