Who is behind the email biorxiv@biorxiv.org in @biorxivpreprint? Honest question. Is it an editor? IT staff? Interns? Terrible handling of a very delicate situation. No accountability. Maybe @CSHL can help? We just need a name, a real person, instead of anonymized empty replies.

Our lab has been intentionally plagiarized by a former postdoc and the data posted in @biorxiv_neursci. Not only that, but the manuscript contains misleading information despite the author knowing about it, who also negated us from examining the raw data.

We requested the removal of the fraudulent material 72 h ago, nothing has happened.
We’ve always been enthusiastic about preprint servers for quick dissemination of honest results but not as an unruly haven for scientific fraud.
Is there anybody listening in @biorxivpreprint?

Psyched to be starting as an Assistant Professor at Rutgers-Newark, with an R01, in January ‘23. Now I just have to get the second one…

Very happy to share that the Holly Lab will be opening at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience @Rutgers_Newark in Jan 2023! We’ll study the neural circuits driving decision making, and how these circuits and behaviors are changed by stress. Recruiting @ all levels

Please RT: We are hiring! Seeking a postdoc. research scientist, or advanced technician for an externally funded project on multi-focal neural ⚡️stimulation ⚡️ and value-based decisions in nonhuman primates. Requirements: Must love the 🍾🍿🍾 of in-vivo neural activity...

Purposive movement (but NOT overall motor behavior) is modulated by an inhibitory group of neurons in the midbrain that regulate dopamine release in the striatum. Our latest manuscript led by @nadinekgut is now available in BioRxiv (thread 👇).

Our results expand the role of the mesencephalic locomotor region and highlight the influence of this region in basal ganglia function.

In addition, we found striking similarities with parkinsonian features, such as the impairment of voluntary movement while other motor activity is preserved (e.g. forced locomotion), a phenomenon in PD that is referred to as paradoxical kinesis.

If you are interested in working on this project please message us. We need your help.
Dopamine neuron loss in the substantia nigra is key in #PD. Team @AwatramaniRaj will create input-output maps of the dopamine neuron subtypes to ID subpopulations in the substantia nigra impacting motor circuitry in PD. #ASAPGrantees @lab_bevan @DanielDombeck @parisiadoulab1
