Barbie is not the only thing evoking nostalgia. Our new article! We examine the neuroscience of “yearning” after losing a bonded partner. Dopamine receptor expression increases in motivation brain areas @erikamvitale @Genes2B @IBANGStweets #MicrotusMonday doi.org/10.1111/gbb.12861

Me: Prairie voles are socially monogamous despite promiscuity
Relative: Should human relationships be open?
Me: I just mean social and sexual drives differ
Relative: All relationships are doomed
Me: ...
Me: "Vole" is a palindrome for "love"
Relative: That's cute❤️#MicrotusMonday

Cool @NatureComms study by @LindsaySailer @alexophir! Activating the lateral septum in male prairie voles turns up the 'friend dial' with other males without losing bond to partner. Fascinating as bonded voles don’t usually make friends. 🤝#MicrotusMonday rdcu.be/dc8hA

Btw, he is graduating and will be going to NIH for a 1-yr postbac. However, look out for his graduate application this fall. He is a superstar researcher in the making. 🤩

In the last 10 days, I have agreed to serve on a NIH special emphasis panel, review 7 manuscripts for various journals, and serve as a guest editor for a special issue.
Good thing academics get paid so well for all this extra service.😳🫣😖 #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

What are oxytocin assays measuring? Great question!
New work from @HammockNeuroLab, Dr. Sue Carter, and others explored epitope mapping and cross-reactivity of the Arbor Assays antibody. A must read for all of us that use this antibody/assay.🫣🫣🫣

Our commentary about @ricky_ortiz's work. How can graph data modeling provide any biologically relevant information about the brain? Read to find out!

Let's revive the #MicrotusMonday with this fMRI study that uses graph theory to identify the differences in the resting-state connectivity of brain networks between two populations of prairie voles. The cover art looks rad too!
I MADE THE COVER ART FOR A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL!!! I am so proud for the work I did with @Northeastern and @UTEP to artistically show the functional connectivity differences between two #PrairieVole populations!!
