@SerafineLab @UTEP Thank you!!!

Thanks so much to twitterless Rosalie Powers for leading this study and Peter Fogel, Jayson Reeves, and Pamela Madrid for their tireless work to bring this to fruition!

First paper of the lab is out! Pairing quinine with cocaine self-administration led to complete suppression in some rats, while others escalated intake. Furthermore, escalators didn’t habituate to quinine but rather pursued cocaine despite the bad taste. https://t.co/FdVtsFJTDN

Does Drug Intake Despite Adverse Consequences Really Measure Compulsivity?
There’s a big debate in addiction research: is drug use despite adverse consequences (like punishment) a standalone measure of compulsive behavior, or just part of a larger addiction profile? This new study from the lab suggests it’s the latter — tightly connected to other addiction behaviors.

@MoeNeuro Monique, you will be happy to know that, despite my historical lack of fashion sense (e.g. sandals), I now been forced to have at least a rudimentary sense of fashion, because if a certain 3 year old's pants don't match her shirt, it's an extra 15 minutes of meltdown time.

[Elizabeth West @EWbrains]

I can’t wait for our symposium on the neural consequences of drug experiences on circuits driving motivated behaviors- with Mike Saddoris (@msaddor1), Jen Rinker (@DrJRink), and Amy Arguello! The rest of the line up at @PavlovSociety looks stellar!

[Dan Manvich @ManvichLab]

Some exciting work being done (literally next door to my lab) by my colleagues here at @BehavioralRowan @RowanVirtuaSOM!

New work from the lab! Project led by postdoc Dr Alex Grizzell (now Emory prof) showing that *when* in adolescence alcohol is consumed can produce very different effects on adult fear behaviors. Stay for the (maybe!) dopamine story at the end!
