Finally out! This paper took approximately 10 years. Work by basvanopheusden with Ionatan Kuperwajs, Zahy Bnaya, Gianni Galbiati, and Yunqi Li. nature.com/articles/s4158… Happy to answer questions. Brief history of the project on cns.nyu.edu/malab/publicat…

During motherhood, females spend all their time caring for the young. However, nearly 100% virgin female mice in the wild kill pups. In our new study published today nature, we revealed the neural circuit responsible for this drastic behavior switch. rdcu.be/ddZgF

Latest from the lab. All about striatum Dopamine/Ach interactions during behavior in mice. rdcu.be/diYr3

We are hiring! Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research funded postdoctoral position to explore mechanisms of circuit formation in the PFC. We are a growing lab in a vibrant city with a fantastic neuroscience community Bristol Neuroscience . Informal discussions welcome. Please RT! jobs.ac.uk/job/DCB491/res…

Happy to share our new study published today Neuron. Here we recorded from 13 limbic regions simultaneously to reveal the network activity during male aggression and sexual behaviors. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm excited and grateful to receive a NARSAD Young Investigator Grant. Thank you to BBRFoundation for supporting our research! If you are interested in studying the role of spinothalamic circuits in health and disease, get in touch! 💯

Nice bit of news to start the new term with! We will be looking for multiple postdocs across slice physiology, whole brain anatomy and in vivo imaging during fun behavioural tasks. Advert out soon but get in touch informally if this sounds interesting!

Excited to announce the Center for Neural Science (CNS) at NYU is searching for a new tenure-track faculty member — applications are due January 1 — Please RT! apply.interfolio.com/136781

Really happy to see Ryan Wee's paper out today in Neuron! This was one of the first projects in the lab - 7 years in the making! He found the ventral hippocampus defines behaviour in response to hunger signals. via hippocampal ghrelin receptors! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

I'm very pleased to share our new collaborative study! We identify the spinal cell type targets of two unique groups of corticospinal neurons, and how these distinct descending circuits interact with the brain. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

1/ How do somatotopically-matched regions of sensory cortex interact? In our most recent paper at Cell Reports, @__laurenryan__shows that whisker S1-S2 amplify touch bidirectionally via a specialized population of broadly tuned touch cells. doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

Excited about our long-brewing paper exploring dynamics in multi-regional neural circuits in a delayed movement task. Driven by@esthersselva, Yi Liu, and including Jennifer Colonell, Nuo Li and Shaul Druckmann and others (the MAP collaboration): cell.com/cell/fulltext/… (1/7)

Huge congrats to the amazing Karyna M. 🇺🇦 for her new paper! She found that mice need the ventral hippocampus to perform hidden state inference while performing a 2-armed bandit task. 1/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I will start my group in NYU Center for Neural Science in January 2025 to study how the brain tracks and predicts physiological needs using intracellular signals. Please keep an eye out for updates!

Thrilled that Hannah Payne will join the NYU community as an Asst Prof jointly in NYU Center for Neural Science and NYU Psychology! Will be awesome to see her investigations of one-shot episodic memory mechanisms by exploiting the neurophysiology of active vision and food caching memories in chickadees

A bit of news- I've been promoted to full professor! 🎉 Huge thanks to the fantastic members of my lab over the years, our funders Wellcome European Research Council (ERC) UK Research and Innovation and all the amazing support from colleagues at UCL. Bring on the elbow patches!

Congrats Karyna, Andrew, and the MacAskill lab!

Antipsychotics are often prescribed to suppress hyperaggression. Do they really suppress aggression or just cause sedation? Antipsychotics target dopamine receptors. Our new study, published today nature, uncovered the role of dopamine in aggression. nature.com/articles/s4158…
