I'm excited to announce I will be starting as an Assistant Professor of Psychology with a focus on Behavioral Neuroscience in my teaching and research at Gettysburg College this fall. My lab will be studying the neurobiology of learning and motivation for rewards!

I'm beyond excited to share the product of my dissertation, and the latest work of @CaluLab_Bmore, now published in @SfNJournals #JNeurosci

It’s got Pavlovian behavior, opto, eCBs, photometry, and dopamine (which of course is doing something unexpected)!

[Utsav Gyawali @GyawaliUtsav]

Several amazing papers recently on dopamine’s role in food and drug motivation. Yet most focus on striatal DA. Not us! We probed dorsal BNST dopamine’s role in sign and goal tracking using GRABDA during Pavlovian approach, RPE, satiety etc. Check it out!
