Congrats @AmelieBorie and coauthors in the @lyoun03 and @gordonberman labs! Excited to share our findings on how #oxytocin’s mechanism of action depends on prior social experience in voles. If you’ve ever wondered why OT might act differently in different people, read on… (1/5)

@AnneZMurphy @lyoun03 Such devastating and shocking news. A heart-breaking personal and scientific loss. Deepest condolences, @AnneZMurphy - we r here for you

Great job Dr. @SenaAgezo! You’ve been an outstanding contributor to all three of our labs @lyoun03 @LiuLabEmory @gordonberman!

[Larry Young @lyoun03]

Congratulations to Sena Agezo for an outstanding PhD defense today! Congrats to his mentors ⁦@LiuLabEmory⁩ and ⁦@gordonberman⁩

Some days are good. Some days are great. And then some days one of your *undergrads* demonstrates that the cholinergic neurons (red) of the human basal forebrain express #oxytocin receptor mRNA (green)!🤩 @USU_UR

The ❤️ of my thesis was published today in @NatureComms. We developed a new assay, "Social Incentivization of Future Choice," to investigate the impact of social experiences on instrumental behavior in mice. Go read it! https://t.co/4I5tFj1ZmI

[Veenemalab @veenemalab]

Interested in neural circuitries and social behavior? Join us! We have positions for a tech, grad student and postdoc. You will work with Oxtr-icre rats to reveal a neural circuit spanning three brain regions. DM or email me for application details. Pls RT!

[Robert C. Liu @LiuLabEmory]

Great to see this review article in collaboration with @AmelieBorie and @lyoun03 on oxytocin’s complex mechanisms out! Thanks to @stevewcchang and @neurophilip for putting together an excellent collection of oxytocin articles in https://t.co/pqnq4Oc3BO

Why is that good? Without the accumbens’ own endocannabinoid signaling, a pair-bonded female shows more rejection-like postures with her partner, treating him more like a stranger. Cool example of #oxytocin’s intricate physiological actions in the #socialbrain!(5/5)
