Mice reaching up for rewards! 🐭💪🏻 Current tasks for assessing motivation may have some extra cognitive demands not purely related to physical effort which may confound result interpretation and outcomes. We´ve developed a task to minimise these confounds: the RED task! 🧵👇

@neurodaniela We do have the jclub open to local researchers (and see the lab website for the papers we've discussed!) - I guess you'll have to come to Berlin some time! 😀

Finally read this in our jclub-water ingestion leads to long (30+min) activity increase in a subset of dopamine neurons, depending on projection (and in NAc dopamine might even decrease?!)-we should know how repeated, small water ingestion in our behavioral tasks affects dopamine

I’m excited to share that our paper is online today in @Nature. We investigate how animals learn what foods and fluids hydrate them. Sincere thanks to my mentor @zaknight and thanks to collaborators @berke_lab and @AnatolKreitzer. (1/6) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Psychologists have posited hundreds of cognitive biases over the years. A fascinating new paper argues that they all boil down to one of a handful of fundamental beliefs coupled with confirmation bias. doi.org/10.1177/174569…

Yesterday a letter from 100 scientists declared the popular theory of consciousness - Integrated Information Theory - is "pseudoscience." And that media about it is "scientific misinformation." The letter is bad. Here's my reply why: theintrinsicperspective.com/p/ambitious-th…
