🧠 What happens in the #brain when we make either/or decisions? A @uOttawaMed study published in @NatureNeuro reveals that #serotonin #neurons don’t act independently—they form dynamic networks that help shape binary decision-making. Led by Dr. @JCBeique, @uOttawaMed professor and co-director of the Centre for Neural Dynamics and Artificial Intelligence, this research uncovers a fundamental principle of brain function and could inform more targeted treatments for mood disorders such as depression. 🔗 Read more: uottawa.ca/en/news-all/uo… #Neuroscience #Serotonin #BrainResearch @uOttawaTMM @uottawabmri

Que disent vraiment les #neurones producteurs de #sérotonine dans notre #cerveau ? Et pourquoi ce #neurotransmetteur clé est-il activé à la fois en réponse aux récompenses et aux punitions ? 🧠⚡ Place aux experts de la sérotonine d'@uOttawaMed. 💡Une nouvelle étude de @Nature menée par une équipe de chercheurs interdisciplinaires de notre Faculté déchiffre les messages transmis par la sérotonine. Les résultats fascinants jettent un nouvel éclairage sur le mystérieux #SystèmeSérotoninergique de notre système nerveux et sur la façon dont il est impliqué dans toutes nos décisions quotidiennes.

What are #serotonin #neurons really saying inside our #brains? And why is this key #neurotransmitter activated in response to both rewards and punishments? 🧠⚡ Enter @uOttawaMed’s serotonin whisperers. 💡 A new @Nature study led by our Faculty’s interdisciplinary researchers is deciphering serotonin’s messages. The fascinating findings are shedding new light on our nervous system’s mysterious #SerotoninSystem and how it’s involved in all our day-to-day decisions.

@RuthEllenUS @efharkin_ Oops, your talk is on the 14th, is it not?? Although it is still at 8:30am….😎

#SfN23 What does serotonin do in the brain? Drop by room 147B Nov 13 at 8:30am to hear my talk "Serotonin predictively encodes value". My new theory combines reinforcement learning and biology to make sense of the in vivo responses of serotonin neurons to rewards and punishments.

@ra2174 @CayaBissonnette @GordonConf You bet😉 #proudPI

@CayaBissonnette @JCBeique @GordonConf You did an awesome job!

Truly thankful to have had the opportunity to present my PhD work conducted in @JCBeique’s lab at the Dendrites Gordon Conference last week! @GordonConf

@Candiceelee @SChenlab @mossy_fibers @gsilasi @_jesse_jackson With flying colors!! Truly outstanding and stellar performance. It was a spectacular defense. Really 😉

@drstephieb @N8Godfrey Congrats Nathan!!! Pass the baton @drstephieb !

@ra2174 @BaptisteLacost3 @uOttawa @OttawaHospital @NeuroNaud @SChenlab Thanks for coming. Great story as always. Keep in touch!

Thanks @BaptisteLacost3 for inviting me to give a talk today @uOttawa @OttawaHospital I very much enjoyed my meetings with @JCBeique @NeuroNaud and @SChenlab

@SChenlab @NatureNeuro @uOttawaBMRI @uOttawaMed @Neurodynam @SFARIorg @BBRFoundation Yeah! Awesome!

I'm very happy to share our lab's first paper that is published online in @NatureNeuro today !! rdcu.be/chfWJ @uOttawaBMRI @uOttawaMed @Neurodynam and we thank the fundings from @SFARIorg and @BBRFoundation for the work.

@cristufer13 4-5 pA peak-to-peak noise?

@MichaelBLynn_ @dalecorbett22 @MichaelBLynn_ 😂😂😂Keep it up🤛 don’t forget though how the driver felt once he made it to the other side...

@dalecorbett22 Great point, at least the ground is level here! 😆

My manuscripts somehow progressing despite global pandemic, economic uncertainty, emotional turmoil and minimal lab access

I have a synaptic joke, but it’s a failure.

@cavi11al @stressynomics 😂😂inside joke from another life. Ok, Claudio, touché!👍

@JCBeique @stressynomics Where else can you put the dinosaurs and other toys that make experiments work?

Ok slice physiologists, I need to know where you stand in this

@stressynomics 😂😎

@JCBeique Aaah, finally the correct answer! Why did I know it would be you 😁

Interested in silent synapses? Check out our latest paper in @CellReports with @NeuroNaud, @kevinfhlee and twitterless Cary Soares, and this #tweeprint by lead author @MichaelBLynn_. Congrats Michael!

@MarkCembrowski @NeuroNaud agree on all counts. This is magnificent 😎

Up for a good start in an acting career (see 0:42)! Haha!
