I had a great time reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones at #ACNP2023 last week. Congratulations to the conference organizers for putting on such an engaging event, and thank you to One Mind for hosting this Rising Star lunch. Already looking forward to next year!

I really liked the discussions of equity, privacy, and consent in this big-data study group at #ACNP2023.

California mice are an ideal model to study how pair bond loss impacts behavior and inflammation -Erica Glasper #ACNP2023

Using an operant paradigm for access to a partner and a dopamine sensor, Zoe Donaldson group shows that in prairie voles dopamine release is stronger during anticipation to access to partner versus access to novel vole #ACNP2023

New kappa opioid receptor PET ligand allows for the quantification of how separation stress alters endogenous opioid release -Karen Bales #ACNP2023

Oxytocin receptor knockout prairie voles can form pair bonds but it takes longer than wild type voles -Dev Manoli #ACNP2023

In Zebrafish high throughput crispr manipulation of gene function can be paired with whole brain imaging of phosphorylation erk allowing determination different genes control whole brain size, structure and activity -Ellen Hoffman #ACNP2023

Many genes identified in genetic screens of mental health conditions have no known function, C elegans provides high throughput approaches to learn basics about gene function. -Catherine Rankin #Acnp2023
