excited to post the latest work from @RyanWee! assisted by @Karyna_mi and @Rawryy. He found that specialised changes to synaptic connectivity in the ventral hippocampus defines behaviour in response to hunger signals. via hippocampal ghrelin receptors! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

huge congrats to @candelabellot for her paper just out in @NatureComms! She found two distinct populations of hippocampal neurons that project to PFC, that have distinct influence on PFC circuitry and opposite effects on behaviour! @uclnpp @uclbiosciences nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Hi, my Paper with @Aoto_Lab is Published! Very excited to share our work in which we identify ventral subiculum (a very cool but understudied region of ventral hippocampus that regulates reward and stress) as a sexually... cell.com/cell-reports/fullte… (1/4)

Don't forget to also visit other posters from the @MacAskillAF lab - led by @Rawryy, @candelabellot and Karyna Mishchanchuk - for cool projects on the role of the hippocampus in a range of behaviours, from decision-making to approach-avoid and reward-driven behaviours!

Excited to present results from my PhD tomorrow at #BNA2021 during the Rapid Talk (1020 - 1120) and live poster (1300 - 1400) sessions. If you're interested in hippocampal physiology, hunger, and/or motivated behaviour, do drop by my poster: app.swapcard.com/event/bna20…

Just posted the results from my main PhD project on @biorxivpreprint! We found that THIK-1, a channel that is blocked by various anaesthetics, controls the number of synapses in the brain by helping #microglia eat them up. 🧠✨ #AttwellLab @UCLNPP

Thrilled to share the results from my PhD research on the synaptic processes that allow the brain to walk the fine line between memory formation and recall, now available as a bioRxiv preprint. Many thanks to the wonderful team that made this possible!🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Well it is official, I am now part of the Biorxiv community! Take a peek at what I have been working on during my postdoc with @mbruchas ! It is all about endogenous opioids, motivation, and some new peptide-oriented tech. This paper has *everythinnggggg* biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to finally share our most recent work which identified a novel disynaptic pathway (VLMca - PVT- NAc) that selectively mediates hypoglycemia induced food seeking behavior. nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

How can we understand animals’ internal emotional states when we cannot simply ask them how they feel? We tackled this questions in the context of social behaviors in mice. Check out our latest paper! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…
