Check out the latest work from our lab! Awesome work by first author twitterless Patrick Melugin! Dr. Suzanne Nolan Evelyn Kandov Carson Ferrara Cody Siciliano, PhD

Excited to share our work on cortical dopamine, out in bioRxiv Neuroscience – we demonstrate that prefrontal cortex dopamine dynamics track changes in attentional demand, not stimulus valence. Congrats to lead author Patrick Melugin & the whole team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another preprint out! This one was truly a collaborative effort across 6 labs / 4 institutions, would not have been possible otherwise.

Stacked speaker lineup including our own Zahra Farahbakhsh presenting her work on biomarkers for precision targeting of kappa-opioid receptor ligands to reduce alcohol drinking, & Kirsty Erickson leading the discussion on reward mechanisms.

Very thankful to NIAAA News for launching this center, and to UMass Chan Medical School, Vanderbilt School of Medicine Basic Sciences and UNMC_MMI for their support.

Congratulations to Amy Stark and Zahra Farahbakhsh (Cody Siciliano, PhD lab) for being selected as recipients of the Provost’s Pathbreaking Discovery Award!
