I’m excited to share our publication from @Dulac_lab in nature, where we illuminate the development of hypothalamic cell types involved in a broad range of functions, from social behaviors to thirst, thermoregulation, and sleep. Highlights below! 🧵 nature.com/articles/s4158…

Extremely well deserved! Congrats to David Ginty.

Proud neighbor retweeting the recent Science paper by Marco Uytiepo, Anton Maximov et al on multi-synaptic boutons underlying memory. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Lots of recent papers discuss the nucleus of the solitary tract in interoception. In this review, we take a sensory processing perspective on how interoceptive signals are encoded in the NTS: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Thrilled to share 2 reviews from the lab: 🧬 Annual Review Functional Neurogenomics annualreviews.org/content/journa… 🧠 Current Opinion high-throughput analysis of corticogenesis authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09… Thanks to my labbies and the field—we were honored to showcase your work! #WeAreHiring

Our new study, published on Neuron, shows how Alzheimer’s disease impact the whole body at the single cell level. Led by Ye-Jin Park and Tzu-Chiao Lu. cell.com/neuron/abstrac…

Thrilled to share our latest preprint and first major project from the lab, where we show a mechanism for direct interoceptive input to the insular cortex. Work by the incredible Zhe Zhao with help from many others including Stefano Berto, PhD

We previously showed that specific hypothalamic neurons get more and more activated by each bite of food until they put a brake on homeostatic feeding. Here, we find that this brake is already on at the start of a meal in obese mice on a high-fat diet. Nice work, Marta & team!

Congratulations to the new Hrabowski scholars, including my department colleague Xin Jin, PhD! hhmi.org/programs/freem…

Our new paper is out in Science. We identified a subgroup of cholinergic neurons that mediate sensory modality-specific attention. They change their funcitonal properties within secs of behavioral context change. Congrats to Bin and the team! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/ Excited to share a new preprint! Our latest study uncovers how serotonin precisely controls the “time window” for fear learning, ensuring that our brains link cues (CS) & threats (US) only when it’s adaptive. #Neuroscience #FearLearning biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Heard about the work two years ago- very interesting!

サマースクール、今年はオキシトシンと食欲の制御という新テーマに挑戦。最近プレプリントを一つ出してますが、biorxiv.org/content/10.110…　まだわかってない点が非常に多い領域。我々も答えを知らない実験に2名の大学生と取り組みます！ #BDR_SS2025

New paper from the lab with Andrew Lutas. Work of the amazing Claire Gao. Important read exploring mechanistic insights as to why semaglutide may work better for some versus others. Building on all the amazing research that has been done over the years. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🚨New preprint from an ongoing collaboration with the Panglab@Rutgers lab. Project led by rising stars Rohan Savani and Le Wang showing how individual GLP-1R neurons in the paraventricular hypothalamus track ingestion across energy states. Preprint here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

Excited to share our new work on the large-scale organization of the tree shrew visual system, led by Frank F. Lanfranchi with Joseph Wekselblatt & Daniel Wagenaar! We trace the evolutionary roots of the primate ventral visual pathway—revealing surprises like face cells in a
