Our new paper is just out from @phoebe_mayne who used biological sex as a variable to assess spatial memory in mice, as part of her PhD project @QldBrainInst @QCMHR doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2024.1…

However, on the TUNL task we found that females had altered performance under conditions of uncertainty, and this was associated with changes in the intensity of perineuronal nets and parvalbumin expression in the retrosplenial cortex

So although males and females seem to perform similarly on different spatial memory tasks there may be differences in neural circuitry underlying decision making under conditions of uncertainty

😍😍😍 Nice work Kyna, and such a thrill to see more of your exciting PhD work published! ....old?? 🤪
Delighted to see this study published with the old PhD supervisory team @JKesby and @BurneTom indicating that altering D1:D2 receptor signalling ratios improves amphetamine-induced learning impairments in mice, with implications for schizophrenia bitly.ws/TTS6
