Had an amazing time connecting with fellow psychedelic neuroscientists at #sfn2024. Thanks to those who organized. Crazy to see how rapidly this field is growing!
@MSpring_VT’s nifty new paper out in @SfNJournals shows that serotonin sizzles to reward! It encodes value - objective and subjective in the DMS. It also increases in anticipation of a reward and to a cue that predicts a reward.

Hey #winterbrain2024, get to sleep earlier tonight than you did last night so you can come to our panel tomorrow at 7:30 on preclinical models to study the effect of psychedelics on anxiety and depressive behaviors with @SixtineF, @TheBorisLab, @WenthurLab, and @lab_nichols
I'm so excited to share my very first project, now available to view as a preprint on biorxiv! We find that NAc ACh activity mediates flexibility of sign-tracking response structures during a contingency change. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
Do you act more impulsively because you haven’t learned about the negative effects of your actions? Our new Nautiyal Lab paper @KateNautiyal explores the bio-behavioral bases of impulsivity, focusing on the contributions of inhibitory/excitatory learning. authors.elsevier.com/c/1eIPm…
Check out the research being conducted in Dr. Susana Mingote’s Lab at the Neuroscience Initiative where they are investigating the ways in which our brains can differentiate various sensory cues in complex environments. Learn more at: bit.ly/38oxmmp
Dr. Samira Ztaou, Neuroscientist, #womaninscience and currently working on functional changes of striatum circuitry in psychostimulant addiction. @Samuccia do you think striatal cholinergic interneurons are affected in psychostimulant addiction? @Columbia@nationalpostdoc#npaw
We made a mouse brain transparent using a clearing method, which will allow us to create a “3D” map of DA projections! Thank you to the photonics department of ASRC for helping us 3D print the chamber! #neuroscience#clearbrain@asrc_gc@susana_mingote
