How do patterns of gene expression in parts of the social brain change during the life-history transition to motherhood in pairbonded female #PrairieVoles? #oxytocin receptor, #dopamine receptors, #opioid receptors New paper by Santiago A. Forero onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gb…

I’m so tired.

Why are we debating golf handicaps. Good lord.

I do not care about the golf handicap of presidential candidates.

I wore my Strict Scrutiny Podcast "I dissent" shirt today.

Hello - just wanted to give a shout out to an amazingly creative grad student in my lab and her new Etsy shop. Some super fun neurosci stickers for sale. More to come. Morgan Gomez GSU Brains & Behavior Dr. Debra Bangasser etsy.com/shop/TheAngryM…

Check it out! A preprint of my latest paper is now available on BioRxiv! 🧠 nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…

Does being pair-bonded keep you young ? Lindsay Sailer 🧠🇭🇳 et al explored this question in #PrairieVoles in our recent paper in Scientific Reports In short: Not really. BUT we did establish a VoleClock and found several genes strongly associated with bonding! nature.com/articles/s4159….

As I’m entering the post-doc job market, I made a website for folks to get to know me better! Check it out: chaelanutor.com

Insanely impressive work!!!

This paper is now published in Cell Reports! Our study investigates how the sugar circuit diverges into different pathways that mediate different behaviors. The revision has a ton of new data and circuit simulations (thanks to the model by Philip Shiu!) cell.com/cell-reports/f…

If you are going to be at SFN and want to see what we have been up to, we have five posters and a talk. All unpublished data, so come give us feedback! Feel free to retweet! Thanks!

My PhD work is finally out in Neuron! "Heightened lateral habenula activity during stress produces brainwide and behavioral substrates of susceptibility" w/ amazing team @IlanaWitten Chris Zimmerman Lindsay Willmore Annegret Falkner @alexpan_neuro cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

I am excited to share our new paper published today Cell (link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jw%7ElL7PXq…). This is one of my favorite studies and took ~7 years to complete. In early 2018, we started the project, aiming at understanding the neural plasticity of the Winner effect. 1/6

It is election day. Please vote!

I’m back on the blue app if anyone wants to find me.

Fresh off the press! Check out this review article Jennifer Isaac and I wrote on neural circuits mediating social-reward related behaviors in Trends in Neurosciences. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! How do dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains? Turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all! Comparing CD1 & C57 mice, we found strain-specific behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab🧵 Paper here: tinyurl.com/bdeuf6s9

My signed deluxe edition of James Islington “The Will of the Many” finally arrived! It was definitely my favorite read of 2024.
