Long time, no tweet- been too busy with the real world. But now here's news definitely worth disseminating: our transregional, collaborative research center "Retune" has been given the green light from the DFG!

Also, I'm almost done integrating a Scientifica mini micromanipulator for the DV axis, that can easily be mounted on the 1900's holder arm.
Great data and inspiring talk on basolateral amygdala ensembles in social behavior from Sol Fustiñana at WASAD2019!
