Congrats @OutRaajeous and team!
I had a very positive experience working with Raaj on this project— I encourage anyone interested in continuing to reshape how we think about neuropeptide signaling during learned behavior to consider the Gowrishankar lab, now at MUSC.
This work is now online!

Many thanks to @mbruchas for the mentorship, our co-authors, reviewers and @NIDAnews for the funding.
If you're interested in following up on how endogenous opioids promote motivated behavior, my lab @neuro_MUSC is hiring!

Thrilled to share our work out in @Nature! Linking flexibility modeling, single-cell imaging, and targeted optogenetics allowed us to characterize how some prefrontal neurons, and mPFC-VTA neurons in particular, drive contingency degradation behavior. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

This paper was truly a team effort. Thank you doesn’t begin to cover the contributions of coauthors @gstuber, @SteinmetzNeuro, @daniela_witten, @mbruchas, @martaigatrz, Adam, Ethan, Zoe, and Elena, but my sincere and genuine thanks nonetheless.

Excited to share our methods work out in #Neurophotonics today! We coupled a new microprism design with a long working distance objective to track thousands of cells across days in the striatum.

Also thanks to coauthors @LucyTian828 and Adam Gordon-Fennell, @optosigma for prism design assistance, and @pacificoptica who made the Cousa long working distance objective we used

Thanks to @gstuber and @mbruchas for believing in this idea, @outraajeous for his willingness to help me try this out, @vijaymkn for sharing his PFC GRIN dataset and surgical expertise, @AlexLegariaM @LexKravitz @jones_g_parker and Ben Yang for sharing their DS GRIN dataset...

Check out our new preprint on single cell transcriptomics in the septal complex. Lots of exciting cell types and data following opioid withdrawal to dig in to!
Excited to share that my graduate dissertation work is now finally live on bioarxiv! Take a look if you're interested in learning more about the lateral septum's role in opioid withdrawal: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Happy to see my first co-first graduate school paper out! We detail a stable prefrontal code for value and value-like cue properties across days, cue sets, and recording methods.

Recently, we and others have shown that a variety of perceptual and motor features are more distributed in their correlates across brain regions than previously expected. Does this also apply to abstract cognitive representations? Yes! 1/

Very happy that this work is now past the preprint stage. We propose a new approach to test whether neuronal activity controls learning rates. We show that neurons in the ventral/medial orbitofrontal cortex (vmOFC) control learning rate. 1/4
We’ve updated our preprint and welcome any comments. Fortunate to have worked with this fantastic group: @gstuber, @pisanty_ivan, @rcatsimon, @BrainMadelyn and twitterless Taylor Hobbs. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 1/10
