One of the joys of being a scientist is the ability to think about a problem for a long time. Our new preprint solves a mystery that has been bugging me since I was a graduate student (which was, ahem, a while ago). 🧪🧠🧵1/

Two preprints up! The first, led by Aarron Phensy, uses red+green voltage indicators to show that prefrontal gamma oscillations dynamically engage various cell types, creating multiple synchrony configurations, each tied to a distinct aspect of cognitive flexibility: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
We'll have to have you out here for a visit! It is gorgeous, especially in the winter. So many beautiful landscapes :) And cacti, and mountains, and desert birds and rabbits.
I've been there for a year and love it - it's a highly supportive environment with lots of great people and resources, and easy collaboration with the main campus in Tucson (I teach down there). We don't currently have an NHP facility, but I'll ask if there are plans for development in this area.
The University of Arizona is holding an open-rank neuroscience faculty search, multiple tenure-track positions available! Positions will be in the new Department of Translational Neurosciences at the College of Medicine in Phoenix. tinyurl.com/42t8tcey
The first photos from the Vera Rubin Observatory are stunning — thanks in part to the University of Arizona, which helped build its mirror. Proud to see Arizona leading the way in space science.

About 10 minutes, and it avoided the highways. Pretty cool!!
Congrats!!
we're crowd-sourcing a searchable repository of tangible benefits stemming from federally-funded research. Come enjoy the great stories; or send in an idea; or volunteer to join the team.

please share and re-share so we get more great stories in there!
This documentary on LIGO, an NSF-sponsored project that first directly observed gravitational waves, is an amazing, realistic depiction of the process of doing science. youtu.be/dX4vCNi544w?...

For those interested, applications are still open for the Ph.D. program in Clinical Translational Sciences at the University of Arizona, deadline Feb. 1.
The mission of the PhD program is to train students to be skilled researchers who can successfully address both clinical and basic science /1

aspects of translational research. The program provides the opportunity to take courses and rotate in research labs in either Tucson or Phoenix, and areas of strength include neuroscience, cardiology, immunology, and cancer. /2

Proud to present work from my graduate student Yating Yang that just posted on BioRxiv.

Thrilled to present our latest BioRXiv on brain/body interactions during defensive freezing behaviour! (www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...). You might think that a frozen animal has, well, frozen muscle activity, right? Wrong! Underneath the still surface of a fly, something in the legs is beating… 🧵
A starter pack! Some of my favorite women in neuroscience (sorry if I forgot you, I will add!)

When you fail to perform at your best right when it matters the most, what's going on in your brain? We can now provide an explanation: Exceptionally high stakes interfere with the neural signals of motor preparation. I'd love to hear - what do you think causes it?

Yes!
The Warden Lab in the Department of Translational Neurosciences at the University of Arizona seeks candidates for a postdoctoral position. Many of our research projects are focused on neuromodulatory circuits and their inputs and outputs. We are interested in understanding how these circuits support motivated behavioral decision making, and we use a multidisciplinary approach combining imaging, optogenetics, anatomy, high-density freely moving neurophysiology, behavior, and computation. Ideal candidates will have a PhD in Neuroscience, Psychology, or related fields, and an interest in the neural mechanisms underlying motivated behavioral decision-making. A quantitative background, experience in imaging or electrophysiology, and proficiency in MATLAB/Python are desirable but not required. If interested, please send a cover letter, CV, and the names of three references to mrwarden@arizona.edu.
