Happy to share our latest work in Cell Reports showing dopamine can evaluate natural behavior with no external rewards, cues, perturbations. Wonderful collab with Alison Duffy @latimerkw Jesse Goldberg Adrienne Fairhall. Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute Columbia University cell.com/cell-reports/f…

📢 Murthy Lab Joshua Shaevitz and I are excited to announce 📢: SLEAP, our multi-animal pose tracking system, is now out in Nature Methods! Paper → nature.com/articles/s4159… Download + docs + data + more → sleap.ai Read on to learn what’s new!

🐦New Aronov lab paper by Marissa Applegate🐦 Flexible use of memory by food-caching birds elifesciences.org/articles/70600… Memories are spatially precise and flexible -- generating different behaviors in different contexts Groundbreaking data and model!

Way to go Arnav!!! Arnav Raha

New paper alert! I am happy to share our Primer on *Dopamine*, published as a free featured article, now out in Current Biology ! This was a pleasure to write, and I hope it will be a useful resource for the readers! cell.com/current-biolog…

Honored and delighted to be awarded the DP2! The Gadagkar Lab will study female songbirds as a model for how we evaluate the actions of others. Interested postdocs, get in touch! NIH Common Fund #NIHHighRisk Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute Columbia University

Apply to the new and amazing postdoc program at Columbia's Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute to work with us or in >50 labs in a unique and stellar scientific environment! zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/zuckerman-inst…

A great honor for me and my entire lab to join the McKnight community! Thanks for your support Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute Columbia University None of this would have been possible without the outstanding mentorship of Jesse Goldberg when I jumped into neuroscience 10 years ago!

What happens in a male bird’s brain when he hears a female responding to his song? You might say his brain retunes its priorities.

Congratulations to the Columbia University faculty named Sloan Foundation Fellows this year: Lydia B. Chilton, Milan Delor, Vikram Gadagkar, Raquel Queiroz, and Evan D. Sadler! news.columbia.edu/news/five-colu…

Congratulations to our own Vikram Gadagkar, one of five Columbia University faculty named Sloan Foundation Research Fellows! 👏 news.columbia.edu/news/five-colu… #brain #learning #socialbehavior

Honored to be awarded the Sloan! Very grateful to my lab, mentors, Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute Columbia University Sloan Foundation #SloanFellow

Excited to share our latest work! It’s been a great experience working on this (including setting up a whole new lab!) 😊 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Proud to have contributed to JiaxuanQi's masterpiece out nature! She shows dopamine transients track the quality of song during juvenile song learning and that dopamine release is driven not just by VTA firing, but by a local cholinergic mechanism! nature.com/articles/s4158…

Vikram Gadagkar, Kim Stachenfeld (neurokim.bsky.social), @jonathankasdin and colleagues witnessed the role the brain’s reward machinery plays as the brain naturally learns over time through practice.
