So excited to have this work out! Ready for more sex difference stories? Check out our new paper on eLife! elifesciences.org/articles/69748 Big thanks to my advisor @NicolaGrissom, our awesome collaborator Becket Ebitz, my colleagues Evan Knep and everyone in lab!

TIL Cheerios changed its name from Cheery Oats Bc Quaker Oats filed for trademark infringement for the use of “oats” in the name (?)… also Sylvia Plath considered it a garbage breakfast choice

How is taste info encoded? #JNeurosci research reconstructing the synaptic circuitry of taste buds from @courtthewilson et al RM Taste and Smell University of Colorado Anschutz, find that taste cannot entirely be carried along nerve fibers dedicated to single taste qualities. jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…

Most people think of hippocampal ACh as important for memory encoding or attention, but first we confirm using GRAB-ACh many microdialysis studies showing that stressors induce ACh release in hippocampus (see published data from Dr. Tracey Shors and others)

LTP NOT the cellular correlate of learning and memory… 😱

huge congrats to candela for her paper just out in Nature Communications! She found two distinct populations of hippocampal neurons that project to PFC, that have distinct influence on PFC circuitry and opposite effects on behaviour! UCL Neuroscience UCL Biosciences nature.com/articles/s4146…

The brain is absolutely crazy.

New Huberman Lab Podcast Out Now: THE BIOLOGY of MATING, AGGRESSION, FEAR & OTHER MOTIVATED BEHAVIORS. • Aggression-Mating Combo Circuits • Mounting in Sex vs Pure Dominance • Pro- & Anti-Anxiety Peptides • Estrogen Drives Aggression • Fetishes hubermanlab.com/dr-david-ander…

Proactive vs Reactive Aggression are driven by unique circuits. Mounting for Sex/Mating vs Mounting for Dominance are separable too. More here: hubermanlab.com/dr-david-ander…

We are excited to share our new work nature, led by Lenka Dohnalová, uncovering a gut-brain pathway that regulates the motivation for #exercise. (1/7) nature.com/articles/s4158…

Emma Boxer's (Emma E Boxer) review article is now out in Frontiers - Neuroscience! She covers our current understanding about the functional roles neurexins and their ligands have at inhibitory synapses.

Our paper is out! Ventral subiculum output to NAc exhibits a D2R bias and has distinct synaptic properties from vCA1 output. Cocaine withdrawal potentiates vSUB-D2R synapses.
