In ♂️🐭 mice, acute treatment of multiple types of antidepressants ⬇️ innate motivation but ⬆️conditioned motivation. Conversely, chronic administration ⬆️ innate motivated behavior but ⬇️ conditioned motivation

New paper alert! 🚨🎉

Megan Jackson (@MeganGJackson), Cate Marangoni (@CateMarangoni), and Foteini Xeni (@FwtXeni) recently had a paper published in Nature (@Nature), on a new behavioural task in mice.

Had great fun today presenting my poster and engaging in exciting conversations 🐭 “EFFORT-BASED DECISION-MAKING VERSUS SPONTANEOUS FORAGING TASKS REVEAL DIVERGENCE IN ANTIDEPRESSANT EFFECTS ON MOTIVATION IN MICE”

@MeganGJackson Congratulations 🥳

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

Was great to talk today about our 3Hs Initiative and chat to lots of people about rodent welfare! Visit our website for more info! https://t.co/4f7FnMXz24

Congratulations 🥳💪

Our latest paper on how rapid acting antidepressants modulate affective biases in rats 🐀 Excited to share this work because of its importance! Several years of hard work with many amazing lab colleagues! Super proud🤩@psychopharmbris

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

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.
