Hello! Very happy to share that The Tolman-Eichenbaum Machine (TEM) has been published. Many thanks to Tim Behrens and my other co-authors Tim Muller,Shirley Mark,Guifen Chen,@caswellcaswell, Neil Burgess for their help and support along the way! 1/15 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

How can we understand animals’ internal emotional states when we cannot simply ask them how they feel? We tackled this questions in the context of social behaviors in mice. Check out our latest paper! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to finally share our most recent work which identified a novel disynaptic pathway (VLMca - PVT- NAc) that selectively mediates hypoglycemia induced food seeking behavior. nature.com/articles/s4146…

The UCL MBPhD programme application deadline for 2021 and 2022 entry is next Wednesday 17 February! Further information can be found at the following link: ucl.ac.uk/mbphd/mbphd-pr…

Well it is official, I am now part of the Biorxiv community! Take a peek at what I have been working on during my postdoc with mbruchas ! It is all about endogenous opioids, motivation, and some new peptide-oriented tech. This paper has *everythinnggggg* biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to present my first first-author preprint from my PhD! 🎉🎉 Tweet-thread below 👇 (1/11)

How does the brain know when to store a new memory instead of recalling an existing one? Check out our preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Thrilled to share the results from my PhD research on the synaptic processes that allow the brain to walk the fine line between memory formation and recall, now available as a bioRxiv preprint. Many thanks to the wonderful team that made this possible!🧠 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

congrats to the amazing @Rawryy who led this new study from the lab: amygdala input to hippocampus is inhibitory as well as excitatory, and you need the inhibitory input to form place preference! UCL Biosciences UCL Neuroscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My PhD work is finally out! Many thanks to my amazing PhD supervisors Simon Beggs and Maria Fitzgerald for making this happen and the many collaborators who helped along the way Stephanie Koch Alex Chamessian Mayya Sundukova, PhD biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just posted the results from my main PhD project on bioRxiv! We found that THIK-1, a channel that is blocked by various anaesthetics, controls the number of synapses in the brain by helping #microglia eat them up. 🧠✨ #AttwellLab @UCLNPP

Excited to present results from my PhD tomorrow at #BNA2021 during the Rapid Talk (1020 - 1120) and live poster (1300 - 1400) sessions. If you're interested in hippocampal physiology, hunger, and/or motivated behaviour, do drop by my poster: app.swapcard.com/event/bna2021-…

Don't forget to also visit other posters from the Andrew MacAskill lab - led by @Rawryy, candela and Karyna Mishchanchuk - for cool projects on the role of the hippocampus in a range of behaviours, from decision-making to approach-avoid and reward-driven behaviours!

The UCL MBPhD programme is recruiting for Sep 2022 and Sep 2023! Come to our open day from 13:00 – 15:00 on 2 December on MS Teams . See ucl.ac.uk/mbphd for course info.

huge congrats to the fantastic @Rawryy for her paper out today in eLife - the journal! Looking forward to all the brilliant things she will undoubtably do in her new role at the SWC elifesciences.org/articles/74758 UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences

Hi, my Paper with Aoto Lab is Published! Very excited to share our work in which we identify ventral subiculum (a very cool but understudied region of ventral hippocampus that regulates reward and stress) as a sexually... cell.com/cell-reports/f… (1/4)

Congratulations Dr Rebecca Jeyaraj F1/F2 Research Award Winner 2021 Dr Falk/Guts UK Awards King's College NHS View her project ‘Variation in genes involved in bile acid homeostasis and their contribution to paediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease’ here ow.ly/pf9Y50GZRrN

huge congrats to candela for her paper just out in Nature Communications! She found two distinct populations of hippocampal neurons that project to PFC, that have distinct influence on PFC circuitry and opposite effects on behaviour! UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences nature.com/articles/s4146…

nature.com/articles/s4146… Super pleased to share our findings of two opposing pathways between the ventral hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex in Nature Communications today! After a long review process the story is back bigger and better! 1/n

excited to post the latest work from Ryan Wee! assisted by Karyna M. 🇺🇦 and @Rawryy. He found that specialised changes to synaptic connectivity in the ventral hippocampus defines behaviour in response to hunger signals. via hippocampal ghrelin receptors! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
