So glad this work is out and in an excellent special issue! Working with an array of researchers we began identifying eeg biomarkers of behavior in humans and mice! We found one for effort! Amphetamine increased effort in both species but did not move the #eeg #biomarker

Saw a pallet in the parking lot this morning stacked with cardboard boxes labeled "MICE" and thought huh, that doesn't seem like a very safe or secure way to transport animals, leaving them out in the open like that Then I saw the boxes labeled "KEYBOARDS"

🚨New paper from @JaredWYoung lab, in collaboration with Drs @JimCav, Greg Light, Neal Swerdlow, and John Brigman @PsychiatryUcsd @UNM We showed that amphetamine increases motivation in humans and mice without affecting an EEG biomarker rdcu.be/du0MV

Here we showed that the PRBT has cross-species pharmacological predictive validity - amphetamine increased effortful motivation in humans and mice. It didn’t affect a related EEG biomarker, but keep an eye out for more data from our group!

had a stress dream about an upcoming poster with some breakpoint results, however dream me decided to put pictures of keanu reeves and patrick swayze on the poster instead of data

when you’re acclimating a new group of mice to operant chambers and they’re still iffy about being taken out of the box at the end of the round

Welcome to San Diego #SfN2022 attendees! I’ll be presenting a poster Sunday afternoon on a project done in conjunction with a previous intern in our group. Come say hi! (and that’s a double V, not a W, don’t make the same mistake i did lol)
