Unfortunately, I cannot attend #WCBR2023. But, doctoral candidate @Mack_Gamble from our laboratory is giving a talk in selected symposium on sleep and substance use. Tuesday! Winter Conference on Brain Research UMass Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences

It was an absolute blast organizing this awesome panel and talking about sleep and SUD. Thanks to the audience for a lively discussion! #WCBR2023

Looking for a comprehensive review of preclinical models of overeating? Morgan James Lab and I have delivered! It was a long time in the making but hopefully worth the wait. authors.elsevier.com/a/1gSPc-Ly9Vcdd ACERO @ELSneuroscience @els_psychiatry

I'm excited to announce I will be starting as an Assistant Professor of Psychology with a focus on Behavioral Neuroscience in my teaching and research at Gettysburg College this fall. My lab will be studying the neurobiology of learning and motivation for rewards!

Dopamine in the dorsal bed nucleus of stria terminalis (dBNST) signals Pavlovian sign-tracking and reward violations 👉Of note (for drug researchers): Systemic fentanyl boosts dopaminergic signals to reward cues elifesciences.org/articles/81980

New from Calu Lab (1st author Utsav Gyawali): Individual differences in dopamine dynamics in BNST of natural and drug reward associated cues depend on the Pavlovian approach strategy employed. @um_mind

Amazing work (as always) from Calu Lab!

Excellent work 🎉

I'm beyond excited to share the product of my dissertation, and the latest work of Calu Lab, now published in SfN Journals #JNeurosci It’s got Pavlovian behavior, opto, eCBs, photometry, and dopamine (which of course is doing something unexpected)! jneurosci.org/content/43/25/…

Excited to have this out! We review the role of the hepatic portal vein (which carries nutrient-rich blood from the intestines to the liver) as a crucial site for glucose sensing, regulating feeding behavior, and modulating reward signaling in the brain.

Hi everyone, first time here at #ACNP2023 and excited to present on Monday. Come say hi to hear all about orexin and sleep disturbances following cocaine use

Our courageous postdoc research scientists deserve a strong first contract that expands housing access and meets their childcare needs. There is no research without the researchers. Proud to stand with Sinai Postdoctoral Organizing Committee-UAW 💪🏽
