Incredibly happy that my first first-author paper is out in Journal of Neurochemistry today! We sought to determine how a particular lateral hypothalamus/zona incerta (LH/ZI) cell population contributes to conditioned fear expression. The answer was not so simple!

So excited to see this out! Huge congrats A/Prof Garron Dodd Michael Beddows Honoured to be part of this team 😍

Having an awesome ISBRA meeting here in Melbourne. We had a really fun panel on neuronal and glial consequences of drug use. Many thanks to ISBRA Communications and Robyn Brown. Fantastic talks from Kate Reissner, Xavier Maddern, and Morgan James Lab,

Over the moon to accept the presidency for Pavlovian Society! I owe a lot to this community and can’t wait to host #Pavlovian2025 in SYDNEY 🇦🇺. We already have 50% of our speakers confirmed with another 50% to be selected from abstracts as well as an ECR data blitz and posters!!

If you’re attending #sfn24, check out our lab’s posters Sunday morning! Orexin/hypocretin, sigma 1 receptor, sleep, addiction, cognition, feeding, puberty, depression, and more!

Hunger signalling in the olfactory bulb primes exploration, food-seeking and peripheral metabolism. We deleted ghrelin receptors in the olfactory bulb and saw many interesting effects - see graphical abstract TheRealZigmanLab @jeff_neuro Romana Stark sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
