New PVS Domain review! The study evaluates the potential of preclinical rodent research to investigate the neurobiology and neurochemistry underlying reward-related functioning in non-pathological & disease states; https://t.co/wxLXoyPCvN #RDoC
Huge congratulations to our fantastic MD/PhD student @shahnaza96 on becoming a Vanier scholar! This award is given to graduate students who demonstrate outstanding leadership skills and academic achievement across all disciplines.

Next is @TylerDexter13 talking about PFC PV cells underlying attention, using touchscreen rodent Continuous performance task. PV cells show slight increase in activity to stimulus and drop during reward. Greater activity during response inhibition.
Are you at @SfNtweets?
Don't miss @TylerDexter13 poster titled “Prefrontal parvalbumin neurons modulate target discrimination during focused visual attention” happening at SDCC Halls B-H on Sunday from 1:00PM – 5:00PM.

A beautiful day spent back in Boston to lead an exciting workshop with exceptional colleagues - way to go translational leaders!!! @Newman_A_Human @TylerDexter13@maddiehray
Huge congrats to grad student @TylerDexter13 who will be presenting his work at #acnp this December!!!
The symposium is called "Disentangling the Neural Mechanisms Underlying Cognitive Control – Relevance to, and Biomarkers of, Dysfunction."
Well done!

I've been so lucky to co supervise @sab_yang_ with @TylerDexter13 this summer. She is such a talented young woman!
Listen to (most of) her award winning 3min talk on her project presented earlier today.
