Big thanks to co-author @GiselaLazzarino for all the hard work—from idea to publication. Read the full story here: doi.org/10.1016/j.isci… 6/6

Finally, we show that dopamine is released in the LSS in response to both rewarding (sugar pellets) and aversive (foot-shock) stimuli. However, rewards elicit much larger dopamine transients, suggesting dopamine in the LSS may encode both salience and reward. 5/6

Are you interested in the striatum? Ever heard of the Lateral Stripe of the Striatum (LSS) or atypical D1-MSNs? Check out our newly published paper on MC4R-expressing neurons in the LSS—an optogenetic investigation! 🧵1/6 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

Great session at the @OptoGRC Seminar! Amazing talks from all speakers, and discussion well led by our leaders. Proud to be in this group of rising stars ✨ @DerynOLeduke @brandy_briones @brains_with_deb @mariajoseoc2 @SkoeldJohan

Thank you @OferYizhar, @LabMasseck, @BastijnvdBoom and @Hyun_neuron_10 for a great session on novel optogenetic tools @EurBehavPharm #EBPS2023

Me and my poster are ready for today's poster session at #EBPS2023 , come check it out if you are interested in striatum and dopamine in reward and aversion! Poster number 48!

And now, our final group... #EBPS Parallel Sessions 9 Symposium 25 is brought to you by Joost Wiskerke & Johan Sköld of @CSAN_LiU "Novel optogenetic tools and their application in behavioral neuroscience" with @OferYizhar, @LabMasseck, @bastijnvandenboom & @Hyun_neuron_10
