Antipsychotics are often prescribed to suppress hyperaggression. Do they really suppress aggression or just cause sedation? Antipsychotics target dopamine receptors. Our new study, published today nature, uncovered the role of dopamine in aggression. nature.com/articles/s4158…

If you are interested in what happens deep in the brain during puberty, please check our new paper in Neuron. We visualize how nutritional status shapes sexual maturation in female mice.

My pre-PhD work is out Current Biology! We studied Alston’s singing mice, neotropical rodent that produces loud, human-audible 'songs' and engages in vocal turn-taking. Using thermal imaging in semi-natural arena, we probed song use across social contexts. cell.com/current-biolog…

Excited to share that our paper is now published! Together with Aki Watarai, we have discovered how the mouse brain integrates multiple social features, such as sex, into cohesive social memories. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

More than thrilled to announce that I will open my lab IRIS@UNIST (unist.ac.kr/about-unist/) in South Korea early 2026! Our lab (sites.google.com/view/nagahama-…) will explore biological commonalities across diverse psychiatric and neurological disorders at cellular and synaptic scales.

Our next profile is here! Dr. Christine Constantinople (Constantinople Lab 🐀) studies the neural mechanisms of decision-making. Follow the link below to learn more! 🧠 storiesofwin.org/profiles/2025/… #StoriesOfWiN #WomenInNeuro
