We deconstructed the contribution of sensory cues in social approach. The paper is out! thanks to @alecontestabile @Benoit__Girard @GiuliaCasarotto and @STzanoulinou for this intriguing project that started as assignment to a master student https://t.co/pbkaujeOwX

Baudelaire said '...emotions can not be explained'. But he was not a 2020's neuroscientist! The new paper of @NadineGogolla's team open perspectives to analyze and reveal neuro-mechanisms of basic emotions.

So happy to see our paper out today in @ScienceMagazine! ‘Facial expressions of emotion states and their neuronal correlates in mice’ https://t.co/NTGNBiWEOT congratulations especially to the heroic efforts of my outstanding PhD student and first author @NDolensek !!
