Cell article released: "A neural circuit for male sexual behavior and reward" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thrilled to share that our study is now online @CellCellPress, outlining a neural circuit for male sexual behavior, drive, and reward. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

A fun read in Nature; the journal ran this story yesterday following an interview with @NiraoShah: ‘Mirror neurons’ fire up during mouse battles nature.com/articles/d4158…

Stanford Medicine News Center releases story on Shah Lab's most recent published article "Hypothalamic neurons that mirror aggression" med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/…

Really thrilled to share our work headed by brilliant postdoc Taehong Yang @CellCellPress. He has identified mirror neurons for aggression. cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@brucegoldman @NIHDirector great work: @YichaoWei @amaricruz3_a

A startling result in a study of #oxytocin -- aka the #love_hormone -- sends scientists' understanding of mammalian pair-bonding and good parenting back to the drawing boards: scopeblog.stanford.edu/2023/01/31/loo… @NIHDirector #prairie_voles

Excited to share: Oxytocin receptor is not required for social attachment in prairie vol... sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Prairie voles can form pair-bonds and rear pups without oxytocin receptor signaling, contrary to decades of research stating otherwise. Read more in @NeuroCellPress: cell.com/neuron/fulltex… @LabManoli @Shah_Laboratory

We are excited to have Dr. Sakura Tanaka join Shah Lab! Welcome @sakuratanaka000
