#Dopamine is released in the rat basolateral amygdala (BLA) during cue–reward pairing, which is necessary and sufficient to link identifying features of a reward to a predictive cue

Long time no post! Wanted to share a recently accepted pub I had the pleasure of working on as my first ever collaboration in grad school. Now, as I’m about to graduate, it feels full circle seeing the finished product. Proud of Claire & the Luptak team.

@cshperspectives I agree! Will you be giving a talk at the upcoming HHMI investigator science meeting or which talk was this? Thank you!

[Carlene Chinn, MSc @neurolene]

Love this. So many half made manuscripts end up sat on (because of reasons outside the scope of a grad student’s authority) and their hard work may never come to light.

Tweetstorm of my HHMI talk on “Preprint peer review as an alternative career currency”. Sharing widely b/c I think all academic institutions should adopt this.

Proposal: Formalize peer reviewing preprints as part of PhD/post-doc training. Here’s why… 🧵 1/n

The hot topic of the age old question: are we as old as we think we are?

Any thoughts on the use of animal models as a way to measure possible correlate between significant age-related epigenetic marks w/ age-relation cognitive decline? Can we train a model to recognize that?

What’s the secret to luscious locks? #hairloss happens naturally! But can it be stopped? Yingzi Liu and scientists from around the world collaborated to find out!

Can we neuroscientists just release a mass PSA to tell folks that the whole logic vs creativity hemispheric difference thing is goofy and wrong?

@ZedKelly9 While it’s 90deg out as well!!! Hope you’re feeling ok!

Space, the final frontier - for #bacteria! Daniel Santana de Carvalho and a team of scientists from around the world investigated whether bacteria can survive in outer #space. Say hello to the first Martians!
