You are at #ACNP2020 and interested in all things information encoding, nucleus accumbens, medium spiny neurons? Check out my poster with Jennifer Zachry Atagun Ulas Isiktas The Calipari Lab at "M190 Dissecting the Role of Accumbal D1 and D2 Medium Spiny Neurons in Information Encoding".

My brilliant colleague, confidant and, ski partner Dr. @FarrahNMadison has been selected in Cell’s 1000 most inspiring Black Scientists in America! I’m proud to brag about it… Black In Neuro 🧠 crosstalk.cell.com/blog/1000-insp…

Excited to share this! The Calipari Lab we show that dopamine release in the NAc is not a reward prediction error signal, rather, dopamine signals perceived saliency. We provide a new computational model to explain our data and previous work (A THREAD 👇): cell.com/current-biolog…

A brilliant study from Thomas TOPILKO and colleagues from the Nicolas Renier group demonstrates that preparatory nest building in pregnant females relies on the activity of peptidergic neurons in the Edinger-Westphal nucleus. Here is our take (w Marcelo Dietrich 马塞洛)…sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Peptidergic neurons in the Edinger Westphal nucleus of pregnant mice enable maternal preparatory nesting before pups are born. Read Onur Iyilikci & Marcelo Dietrich 马塞洛's preview of this work: bit.ly/3svcUKH And find the original study here bit.ly/3kCzWus

Nothing in evolution makes sense, except in the light of development.

I am absolutely delighted to share our latest paper I co-authored with Jennifer Zachry and Patrick Melugin published in Nature Neuroscience. rdcu.be/cSAde We showed that nucleus accumbens core dopamine evoked by novel, neutral stimuli mediates latent inhibition. A thread 👇

I have some exciting news: Kutlu Lab is opening its doors @RowanSOM next Spring!!! We are moving back to Philly! We are hiring at all levels. Check out our lab website for more info: kutlulab.com This has been a journey. Here is my 2 cents on the process a 🧵:

As you gear up for a Thanksgiving feast 🦃, check out this review from Marcelo Dietrich 马塞洛 @marcelorzimmer Onur Iyilikci on “Hunger Neurons.” Find out how Agrp neurons are involved in both hunger and mother-infant interactions ⬇️😋👩‍🍼 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Several friends have reached out to me to ask where they can donate to the earthquake relief in Turkey. The link below belongs to a trusted NGO that has been working hard. ahbap.org/disasters-turk…

Kutlu Lab is federally funded! I am super excited. Be on the lookout for research position openings in my lab Rowan-Virtua SOM Rowan Behavioral Neuroscience

CONGRATULATIONS to Greg Ball, the 2023 SBN Lifetime Achievement Lehrman Award winner. His contributions to behavioral neuroendocrinology though work on the “challenge hypothesis”, and the role of androgens & estrogens in song learning have helped shape the field.
