Thrilled to share our work out in @Nature! Linking flexibility modeling, single-cell imaging, and targeted optogenetics allowed us to characterize how some prefrontal neurons, and mPFC-VTA neurons in particular, drive contingency degradation behavior. https://t.co/Dkk32XwGtX

This paper was truly a team effort. Thank you doesn’t begin to cover the contributions of coauthors @gstuber, @SteinmetzNeuro, @daniela_witten, @mbruchas, @martaigatrz, Adam, Ethan, Zoe, and Elena, but my sincere and genuine thanks nonetheless.

@mouse_braind @SodenLab congrats rhiana!

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@vijay_mkn way to go vijay! can't wait to see more great things come out of your lab

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

Happy to have been a small part of this work! Congrats @outRaajeous and @mbruchas on a real tour de force on dynorphin signaling in striatum.

[Raaj Gowrishankar @outRaajeous]

Excited to share our work in the @mbruchas lab on how endogenous opioids promote goal-directed behavior, funded by @NIDAnews. I am currently on the job market and this work will form the basis of my research program.

@tychoi5667 @gstuber @Labrigger @outRaajeous We haven't tried. I suspect miniscopes will need some modifications to the focus mechanism before they are compatible- we talk about this a bit in the discussion section of the paper. It seems possible for sure!

Excited to share our methods work out in #Neurophotonics today! We coupled a new microprism design with a long working distance objective to track thousands of cells across days in the striatum.

@NeuroTejeda Thanks Hugo!

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@outRaajeous @DavidJMarcus2 This! Such an endorsement! Thanks David

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@LexKravitz More imaging!

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@LucyTian828 @gstuber can't wait to see what you get up to!

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@Labrigger @LucyTian828 @OptoSigma @pacificoptica thank you so much! excited to see what people do with the cousa next

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@ewadorotaz thanks Ewa!

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@___AshleyH Thanks! Honestly that's how I feel every time I watch this video (which is frequently😅)

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

@LucyTian828 @OptoSigma @pacificoptica also @Labrigger thank you for the Cousa!

[Madelyn Hjort @BrainMadelyn]

Also thanks to coauthors @LucyTian828 and Adam Gordon-Fennell, @optosigma for prism design assistance, and @pacificoptica who made the Cousa long working distance objective we used
