I'm beyond excited to share the product of my dissertation, and the latest work of @CaluLab_Bmore, now published in @SfNJournals #JNeurosci
It’s got Pavlovian behavior, opto, eCBs, photometry, and dopamine (which of course is doing something unexpected)!

Several amazing papers recently on dopamine’s role in food and drug motivation. Yet most focus on striatal DA. Not us! We probed dorsal BNST dopamine’s role in sign and goal tracking using GRABDA during Pavlovian approach, RPE, satiety etc. Check it out!
