πKudos to MPaT student Jonathan I. Aguirre-Santiago (advisor: Jocelyn Richard) on his NIH/NIAAA F31 fellowship for his project entitled "Effects of Ventral Tegmental Area Dopamine Neurons GABA-B Receptor Deletion on Cue-Evoked Relapse and Aversion-Resistant Drinking"!
We had a fun lab lunch to welcome Dr. Meredith Bauer to the lab and to celebrate Margot Lortie and Anika Paulson being accepted to grad school! Feeling grateful to work with this fantastic group! πππ»π₯’
Attending #SfN23? Come by our posters on Monday afternoon to hear about ventral pallidal mechanisms underlying consumption, incentive motivation and expected value encoding, as well as the influence of alcohol cues on compulsivity!
Our new paper on the impact of outcome devaluation on Pavlovian conditioned responses in male and female rats is out now! Congrats to first author @AnkitSood28! https://t.co/oOC28wObQM
Ventral pallidum projections to the ventral tegmental area reinforce but do not invigorate reward-seeking behavior https://t.co/aOqTxvKVWv #biorxiv_neursci
Happy new year! Start 2023 out right by checking out our new preprint on work led by @A_K_Scott examining encoding of cue-elicited reward seeking by ventral pallidal GABA neurons! https://t.co/RTDbeoXjrU
