Excited to share our new results! We (huge team effort led by post-doc extraordinaire Sylvie Lesuis) examined the effects of acute stress on threat memory generalization and engram ensemble architecture. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Crummy, Susanne Ahmari, MD, PhD 🔦🏠 et al. developed a behavioral paradigm for mice that allows scientists to probe the relationship between threat avoidance and anxiety alleviation, which drive the obsessive and compulsive behaviors that are characteristic of OCD. This was used to discover that

Whilst there are numerous transgenic mouse lines, rat lines are sparse. Now, we can target PKCdelta neurons in rats too! Our paper on the generation and characterisation of the PKCdelta-cre knock-in rat in JNeurosci SfN Journals

#eNeuro | Shelby M. White, Christopher C. Lapish. et al. investigated the neural basis of impulsivity and impulse control. Using an important paradigm for assessing impulse control in rats, they discovered that disrupting anterior cingulate cortex activity during the paradigm increases

A study in Nature Neuroscience identifies a prefrontal–pontomedullary pathway that slows breathing and reduces anxiety in mice. The findings explain a circuit basis for top-down control of breathing, which can influence emotional states. 🔒 go.nature.com/4imQaED

Maybe in my 40s I can say the paper was accepted 🙈

Early life "luck" plays a pivotal role in shaping individuality and success, particularly for males, according to a new Science study in mice. 📄: scim.ag/3W7lCxq

Scientists have developed a rat model of how deep brain stimulation (DBS) works to improve cognitive control, which could facilitate the use of DBS in psychiatric treatment for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. 📄: scim.ag/420Y00Z Science Translational Medicine

Enjoy! Our new paper on social learning of mice.

Sex-specific neural circuits underlie shifting social preferences for male or female interaction among mice, a new Science study finds. The results offer a clearer picture of the underlying biology of socio-sexual preferences. 📄: scim.ag/4jaVjA3 #SciencePerspective:

🧵1/ New preprint! 🧠 Loneliness is a state that is comprised of a constellation of features (drive to socialize, unpleasant state, heightened vigilance) and we found that these features map onto different parallel circuits.

Artificial intelligence is becoming better than humans at scanning animals’ faces for signs of stress and pain. Are more complex emotions next? Learn more: scim.ag/3QCQBOR News from Science
