Stress can trigger willful seeking of a starvation-like state in certain female mice predisposed to higher anxiety. Now published and downloadable here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1iyP-3BtfH9A… Congrats to lead-author Hakan Kucukdereli, Oren Amsalem, Andrew Lutas, and the whole team. Feedback welcome!

This study is about dopamine levels in blood. Dopamine doesn’t readily cross the blood brain barrier, so what this means about its level in the brain is anybody’s guess. Sadly, googling the latter right now gives back Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. overenthusiastic notes about levels in blood.

If you are attending SLB today, check out my FIRST conference poster (A21) presented by Adam Packer. If you do all-optical interrogation, these results WILL be relevant to how you design experiments moving forwards.

“Neuroscience needs freely moving behaviour” Yevgenia Kozorovitskiy #SLB2024

Hi all, with bittersweet feelings I present to you my final project (alas I'm out of funding). Strap in,buckle up & please RT! Now on bioRxiv: "Structured neural fluctuations can generate noise invariance and inter-areal gating at distinct timescales": doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… 1/

What questions should we be asking as neuroscientists, and how should we go about answering them in satisfying and innovative ways? I think that seeking training in Stephen Zhang's nascent lab NYU Center for Neural Science is a great way to find answers to these questions in an amazing environment.

📢Big news, please RT🎉 I will be starting as a TT Assistant Professor (W2) of Neuroscience at Universität München in April 2025! The Schroeder lab will study how the brain 🧠 generates internal states, and then uses this information to adapt behavior in dynamic environments. 👇A🧵

Enjoyed reconnecting with my PhD advisor Bin He and other colleagues to write this review on the current state of noninvasive brain-computer interfaces 🧠💻. Hope to see #fUS continue moving into this space. ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10646…

(1/n) Thrilled to announce our (me + Aditya Nair ~ ആദി ) Nature paper is out! We uncovered causal evidence of a line attractor in the brain—a neural mechanism encoding emotional states like aggression. Machine learning (AI) helped us map it! 🚀🧠 #Neuroscience #AI @NeuroscienceNews

Wonderful tool for exploring neural data! Stationary and dynamic patterns, all in one place and along a single dimension. Not a petri dish mold-shaped point-cloud in sight. It’s become one of my favorite ways of trying to guess at what neurons are up to.

Our review on Brain-body physiology is out in Cell! I am truly happy and thankful for the opportunity to participate in this great collaborative work with my supervisor Nadine Gogolla, Megan Sammons, Jingyi Chi, Asya Rolls, and Steve Liberles! cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

Exploring the Mind: DO WE HAVE FREE WILL? Mitchell and Sapolsky Debate mindbrain.ucdavis.edu/events/explori…

Robert Sapolsky & Kevin Mitchell are among the top science commentators. Although on opposite sides of the debate, their mutual respect & understanding of each other’s position was exemplary.

An absolutely wonderful debate! Appreciated the clarity of thought, precise use of language, good humor, and thoughtful camaraderie. Both are agents of positive change in the world. Neither could be otherwise.
