“Now she wants to do transgender operations on illegal aliens who are in prison.”
That’s verbatim.

New preprint by Kent Berridge and I. Here we asked how OFC and insula cortex of rats controls 'liking' vs 'wanting' for sweet reward.
Optogenetic hedonic hotspots in orbitofrontal cortex and insula: causing enhancement of sweetness liking biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci

Han and team use Mightex’s #Polygon1000 for precise optogenetic control in neuroscience. They reveal distinct BLA-BNST pathways that regulate anxiety, showing how targeted activation affects behavior.
Discover more about these findings!

I hope you had a chance to spend time with friends and family over the holidays. There is always someone who would love to hear from you. If 2023 wasn’t good to you, hopefully 2024 will treat you better.

I am very excited about this. A primer on fiber photometry that came out of a fun fun collaboration with some of my favourite neuroscientists... I am gonna miss our 6:30am meetings :)

A tale of two neurotransmitters (glutamate and dopamine). We show how VTA glutamate projections to NAc paradoxically promote reward and aversion. What we found may surprise you!

When public officials withhold or destroy records in Canada, they rarely face consequences.
Check out this thorough - and, frankly, disheartening - account about what happens when #ATIP #FOIA laws don’t get followed.
Spoiler alert: usually…nothing. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
