@FwtXeni Wish you’d had been there, none of this would exist without your hard work!!!!

Happy to share my latest paper! Investigating age-related apathy, we found behavioural changes in aged rats that contrasted with findings in aged mice! We find interesting changes in cognitive flexibility, but only from outside the operant box… https://t.co/pDgS0WRMal

[Psychopharmacology group @psychopharmbris]

We are excited 🥳🥳 @MeganGJackson’s fresh new paper with new behavioural task to measure motivational state in mice! Link below👇🏻 @BristolNeurosci

[Caterina Marangoni @CateMarangoni]

Check out our latest paper 🐭 congrats Megan for this incredible achievement 🥳

[Dr Megan Jackson @MeganGJackson]

Excited our new behavioural task is out now! https://t.co/hz6D0wO7Se. This task draws on a natural species-specific behaviour to measure motivational state in mice. Minimal training time and no restriction required. Suitable for phenotyping and drug screening. Check it out! 🐭

Great to share some of my thesis work at the PP&N Research Showcase yesterday. A lot of helpful feedback on my data and a big boost to be voted best presenter of the day 💫 🤓

(no, not everyone that attended had long brown hair and glasses!)

[Dr Megan Jackson @MeganGJackson]

Excited to share a preprint of our new mouse behavioural task! @CateMarangoni @FwtXeni https://t.co/xcRjPbvzFf. With minimal training time and no physiological deprivation, we can measure the motivational state of mice by assessing their natural foraging behaviour.

[Foteini Xeni @FwtXeni]

Excited for my graduation at International Master's Degree in Neurosciences, University of Trieste with a final grade 110 cum laude 🎉🥳

[Psychopharmacology group @psychopharmbris]

A brand new preprint from @MeganGJackson! “Characterisation of behaviours relevant to apathy syndrome in the aged male rat” https://t.co/z3d2WVUsBI

[Psychopharmacology group @psychopharmbris]

There is more to celebrate in our group this month! We have two winners of the ELH 3Rs Awards 2024 in Scientific Category won by @Dr_Hinch and in Technical Category won by @Jules_bartlett 🥳🥳🤩🤩

[Caterina Marangoni @CateMarangoni]

So excited about the novel foraging task paper’s preprint. @MeganGJackson @FwtXeni Looking forward to more fun research work together! ☺️🐭

Congratulations Megan on her new preprint with her amazing new foraging task in mice 🐭 🥳🥳🥳
