Meet Zuri Sullivan on #HumansofHBI Catherine Dulac brain.harvard.edu/hbi_humans/zur… "When animals get an infection, they undergo a number of behavioral and physiologic changes – they lose their appetite, develop a fever, feel lethargic, and have diminished interest in social interaction...
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
Marcelo Dietrich 马塞洛 & his team found the neurons encoding mother–baby bond in mice. Activating them when mum is away reduced baby mice' crying calls & stress hormones. “I see these neurons as the ‘I feel good with mommy’ neurons,” says Catherine Dulac Read more nature nature.com/articles/d4158…
My paper with Cengiz Pehlevan is out now in PNAS! doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2… Sequences are a core part of an animal's behavioral repertoire, and Hebbian learning allows neural circuits to store memories of sequences for later recall.

Welcome to our new MCB_Harvard colleague Kazuki Nagashima Kazuki (Kaz) Nagashima !
Check out the latest project that came out of the phenomenally productive collaboration that Roy Harpaz (Roy Harpaz) has initiated a few years ago by bridging the joint expertises of @engertlab and the team of Mark Fishman (also here at Harvard).
Nice piece on my wonderful colleague Cassandra Extavour! MCB_Harvard Harvard Organismic & Evolutionary Biology

Wonderful to have my dear colleague Naoshige Uchida stepping in as the new Director of Harvard University Neuro Concentration MCB_Harvard
Our neuroscience undergraduates will be in good hands with Nao Naoshige Uchida at the helm!
Super interesting comparison of hypothalamic cell types between 2 species of Peromyscus mice with different social structures. Bravo Dr. Jenny Chen, Hopi Hoestra and Sean Eddy (no longer on this platform it seems..)
