Dopamine release drives motivation, independently from dopamine cell firing #nppjournal #hottopic from BerkeLab nature.com/articles/s4138… #authortweet #dopamine #motivation

Happy holidays from us to you!

Preprint of a study spearheaded by Bon-Mi Gu. Here we investigated the population dynamics of rat GPe neurons during preparation-to-stop, stopping, and going. Check the full-text if you're interested! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Here is our list of confirmed speakers so far. Submit an abstract by May 8th to present your own research! You can also register just to participate as an attendee without presenting. We are also seeking volunteers to help moderate and keep things running smoothly!

- Next-gen Cellular-scale (5x10um) silicon probes for high-density (256ch) neurophysiology with ultra-high-density packing (as little as 66µm between shanks) - Slice-in-place approach for precise registration of recording sites. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Stop! There is a RdLight ahead. Of course, dLight is amazing, but RdLight is doubly fun. I am so happy that we got to collaborate on the characterization of this amazing tool with tommaso patriarchi @LinTianLab and co... nature.com/articles/s4159…

All materials are available at Addgene and the Neurophotonics viral core!

As part of a new multiyear effort to increase the diversity of our faculty the Physiology Department and Neuroscience Program at UCSF are advertising for a new tenure track faculty member at any rank - aprecruit.ucsf.edu/JPF03083

Hey old friends. We haven't talked for a while. ViDA is now back for an exciting one-day event in November. We are delighted to present and showcase the work of future leaders of the dopamine field. If you are an advanced postdoc with a full-length story to tell, please apply!

Hot off the presses, #carbonfiber arrays for #electrophysiology or #dopamine sensing through #FSCV. Devices can also be precisely localized within the tissue. Massive team effort by BerkeLab Dr. Jill Becker Dawen Cai. doi.org/10.1088/1741-2…

Join us tomorrow for the UCSF PARC international conference on pain and addiction. 8am-1:30pm PST painaddiction.ucsf.edu/events/parc-in…

We have a position open for a staff research associate. Join our team! sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…

Our new preprint is now available on biorxiv: "Striatal dopamine pulses follow a temporal discounting spectrum"

Amin and I are delighted to host Josh BerkeLab this Thursday at 4:30pm to have a fun discussion about my favourite molecule, dopamine, and the role it plays in multi-scale learning (in carbon! which may inspire learning in Silicon?). Join us if you're around n bring ur friends!
