Excited to share our preprint focusing on flexible dopamine responses to intraoral sucrose across acquisition and extinction of conditioned taste aversion. @BaseDownLoh @SamjHurh @PBazzino @RachelDonka Alex Keinath @jamiedroitman

How a crying baby is similar to denoising an ephys rig: 1) There's noise and you don't know why 2) You need to stay grounded 3) You have superstitious beliefs about what actions stop the noise 4) These actions work sometimes but not always 5) The noise can randomly start again

Drugs like Ozempic are great for weight loss, but they make some people feel sick. We discovered that the brain circuits mediating the appetite suppression are distinct from those that mediate nausea – a finding that may be leveraged to develop more selective GLP1-based drugs.

This Halloween, our students chose violence.

@dabrowska_lab @RFUBrainSci @RFUniversity Congrats, Joanna!

I'm tenured! 🥳🍾🧠👩‍🔬🧪Thank YOU to all inspiring science friends, supportive formal & informal mentors, and great colleagues at @RFUBrainSci and @RFUniversity (and special thank you to my home dept., twitter-less Pharmacology) 😊

🔮Ever wished you could just say what behavioral analysis you wanted? ... "Plot the animal's trajectory" "Count the head hips in the open arm" 👀🪄we present AmadeusGPT🎻 to do this ... 🗞@shaokaiyeah @jessy_lauer @zhoumu53 @trackingplumes and me  arxiv.org/abs/2307.04858 🧵⬇️

@Sydney_Trask Literally got a T32, was told I was switched to uni health insurance, broke my leg, and then found out uni never enrolled me 🫠🫠🫠. Had to wait a whole month to get surgery so I could get my own insurance. Quite the promotion.

Congratulations on passing your dissertation defense, Dr. Alexandra Ritger from @AmielRosenkranz lab and @RFUBrainSci. We're very proud of you. All the very best for your future endeavors.

Why do academics love the word "indeed" so much???

This is a @Nicole__Ferrara fan account from now on!

@MitchRoitman @jamiedroitman Extra for when your postdoc breaks their leg.

@jamiedroitman What should we do with it? Right and wrong answers accepted with equal consideration.
