Our updated study is now published in Genes & Development! We set out to better understand how DAXX assembles H3.3 nucleosomes. This led us to identify separation-of-function mutants that allowed us to disentangle H3.3 deposition from ERV repression.

Dopamine shifts from reward to cue during learning. But how is this reflected across the brain?

Combining NAc dopamine photometry with whole-brain fMRI in behaving mice, we link this classic dopamine dynamic to brain-wide changes as learning unfolds.
