SSIB Laura Rupprecht Katie Balantekin, PhD, RD I’m looking for a graduate student to come join me at Children's Hospital LA USC my lab studies neurocognitive development , obesity and food intake in kids using MRI.

Postdoctoral Position in Resolution of Inflammation. We are seeking for a recent PhD graduate to join our group at Yale! Please see the link for all details. postdocs.yale.edu/postdoctoral-p…

I am super honored to have been invited by the student committee on neurometabolism! Can't wait to visit Quebec City and meet everyone. It's going to be "hyper chouette"!

“There’s always been a mystery about the relationship between being full and being nauseous,” said neuroscientist AmberAlhadeff How are we solving this mystery? Read more in this story from WHYY about the most recent scientific discovery out of Monell whyy.org/articles/weigh…

#NatMetabPicks | In nature led by AmberAlhadeff (Penn): The neural circuits in the hindbrain linking satiety and aversion are shown to be separate, raising the possibility of developing #obesity drugs without the side effects of nausea and vomiting. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Discovery of a set of "I feel good with mommy" neurons in the zona incerta of mouse pups. A superb finding by Marcelo Dietrich 马塞洛 that opens a new fields of inquiry on infant social behavior circuits! Bravo!... Science …science-org.ezp-prod1.hul.harvard.edu/doi/10.1126/sc…

So happy to share our new work that is now out @sciencemagazine: We show how neurons in the mouse zona incerta (ZI) modulate infant social behaviors and learning. This work was led by the AMAZING graduate student Yuexuan Li Yuexuan Li 李玥璇. 🎉science.org/doi/epdf/10.11… #ScienceResearch

Specific neurons in the brain’s zona incerta play a crucial role in the early social interactions of an infant and its mother, building their bond and reducing stress, according to a new Science study in mice. 📄: scim.ag/7Ou

Be mindful about axon collateralization! We have changed some experimental strategies based on this discovery. Proud to have the cover image for this journal issue and also a “Featured Article” designation! Happy times. jneurosci.org/content/44/31/…

Monell Chemical Senses Center. These are the people who truly understand my deepest questions. This is the reason I chose the life of a scientist, to chat forever about nerdy things and making special friends. AmberAlhadeff Guillaume de Lartigue Marcelo Dietrich 马塞洛

Huge congrats to Dr.ErinCalipari on the Waletzky Award and AmberAlhadeff on the Trubatch and to all the other winners! So well deserved!

I am thrilled to share the published version of our study on how neuropeptide signals regulate feeding in the hypothalamus! We imaged endogenous peptide signals in subcellular compartments during behavior. Below is an updated summary: rdcu.be/dZlI3

We found that in vivo peptide release and signaling gradually enhances the response of satiety-promoting hypothalamic neurons to each bite of food during a meal. These consequences of each bite take minutes to manifest, and could help explain why slow eating enhances satiety.

HAPPY to share our new paper! Are there specific neurons for food need (hunger) and food motivation (appetite)? Computational modeling and neural activity recording dissociated these two neurons.THX to HyungGoo Kim Kyu Sik Kim Young Hee Lee Yu-Been Kim science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

🚨 Exciting New Research Alert! 🚨 Our latest study, published in #NatureMetabolism, reveals how memory circuits in the brain drive intake of fats and sugars and impact body weight. 🍫🍟 Let’s break it down! 🧵

The one and only AmberAlhadeff visited UBuffalo and gave a great talk about the power of hunger in the University at Buffalo Neuroscience Program seminar series. #SSIBlingInTheWild SSIB UB Center for Ingestive Behavior Research

Thrilled to join all the talented people at Monell Center and work with PennMindCORE! Great things to come! monell.org/behavioral-neu…

I’m so excited to share our preprint on how brainstem neurons sense and integrate multiple body signals during food consumption. We imaged 1000s of neurons across the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN) in behaving mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
