🚨#tweeprint🚨 My PhD work w/ David Cox is out! We do 2p-imaging in awake rats tinyurl.com/43rht4c7 🧠 🐶or🧁? At the retina, lighting/distance/etc. can make a muffin look more like a dog than 2 views of the same muffin. But our brains easily sort this out. How? 🧵1/

Our latest preprint with Gautam Reddy , Vaibhav Konanur , and MurthyLab at Harvard . We imaged sensory neurons and projections from the olfactory cortex to the OB to explore how expanding sensory input affects sensory coding. A few interesting outcomes below: tiny.cc/mi6cvz

So it begins… now I need to look for a used thickness planer. Hit me up if you’re selling near the chicago area.

How do we associate the flavors we experience during a meal 🍽️😋 with postingestive effects, like food poisoning 🤢🤮, that arise minutes or hours later? My new preprint with @IlanaWitten digs into how the brain solves this credit assignment problem. 1/4 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

How does the brain integrate sensory and nutritive information to guide food preference? Work led by N. Nyema with Aaron, vargas-pi, Kevin Myers on the sex-depenent role of AgRP neurons in mediating flavor-nutrient associations is out in Molecular Metabolism.

We’ve reached the pinnacle of technology. We can stop now. Thanks Mitch Roitman Rachel for making it happen. #StarWars #labrats #3dprinting

I just backed Tarot of the Guiding Muse on Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/tarot…

Drugs like Ozempic are great for weight loss, but they make some people feel sick. We discovered that the brain circuits mediating the appetite suppression are distinct from those that mediate nausea – a finding that may be leveraged to develop more selective GLP1-based drugs.

Dopamine activity encodes the changing valence of the same stimulus in conditioned taste aversion paradigms biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Excited to share our preprint focusing on flexible dopamine responses to intraoral sucrose across acquisition and extinction of conditioned taste aversion. Max K. Loh Samantha Hurh Paula Bazzino Rachel Alex Keinath Jamie Roitman
