Online now in Neuron ! A tale of two neurotransmitters (glutamate and dopamine). We show how VTA glutamate projections to NAc paradoxically promote reward and aversion. What we found may surprise you! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

GHSR plays a key role in inflammation, and macrophage GHSR promotes macrophage infiltration and induces pro-inflammatory polarization. Thus, GHSR may serve as a novel immunotherapeutic target for treating obesity and its associated comorbidity.doi.org/10.1016/j.molm…

Take home message: If U want big islets quickly, reduce your ghrelin levels. The culmination of a multi-yr project by postdoc turned Instructor Deepali Gupta Dr. Deepali Gupta and middle schooler turned high school graduate Avi Burstein. More to come from them. With help from John Campbell

An analysis of more than two million papers in life sciences shows a strong gender bias in citations: papers with female lead authors get fewer citations than do those led by male authors in subsequent male-led papers go.nature.com/3GYxSZ6

We’ve all heard of place cells: neurons that form a “cognitive map” representing the structure of the outside world. But what about our own structured behaviours? We took a deep mechanistic dive, out now on bioRxiv : biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 🧵below:

GLP-1 medicines produce adverse events, predominantly gastrointestinal, transient in most. Yet controversy continues surrounding what AEs are rare but real vs. alleged but not rigorously proven in RCTs or real world data.
