Very excited to share the latest chapter in the saga of the singing mice! Using silicon-probe recordings during freely-moving (singing) animals, we describe how motor cortical dynamics enables vocal flexibility. with co-authors Feng Chen, Shaul Druckmann and @mlong11215

Why is social isolation associated with negative valence while social grouping elicits positive reward? How to animals know they are alone or together? Our latest work uncovers two distinct hypothalamic populations underlying social homeostasis. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@JesusEMadrid #ABSTwitterTakeover As much as I love doing #fieldwork, there are some disadvantages associated with it. 1) You spend A LOT of hours tracking down your subjects 2) There are limited manipulations you can perform

1/ Four years into my PhD, It was 2012. I just started to learn computational biology in a wet lab. I was so obsessed with learning, but as the only one doing bioinformatics on our floor, I had no one to ask for help and did not know where to start. 👇

Anyone have a favorite tryosine hydroxylase antibody (for use in mouse brain sections) that is not raised in rabbit? Please RT!

The Maui fire that tore through Lahaina is one of the worst wildfire disasters in US history. The town of 12,000 people is virtually destroyed, with at least 53 dead and many more missing. More than 1,700 structures have been destroyed, including entire neighborhoods. Maui is

I'm thrilled to share the latest work from our lab, led by grad student Patryk Ziobro, with help from undergrad RA Elena Woo and former RA Zichen Cleo He 贺紫宸. Cornell Psychology (1/n) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper out from Catherine Marler! Dipping into some endocrine and plasticity-dependent mediators of acoustic eavesdropping sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very happy to share the newest work from our lab, led by postdoc Xin Zhao, with help from many past and present undergrad RAs. Cornell Psychology biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I have created a website for my visuals of dynamical motifs! These provide a nice introduction to dynamical systems in the context of neuroscience. Also thank you to Dr. Paul Miller for giving me permission to animate his figures. mitchellslapik.github.io/dynamical_moti…

What happens if the one you love doesn't love you back? Data show widowed female #PrairieVoles don't re-bond, but what if a male is paired with a widow? Will the male bond just as strongly? Find out in this just-out paper by Santiago A. Forero authors.elsevier.com/a/1i8WV_8a4xsH…

Join us this Friday in PSC 124 for Dr. Scott Russo's distinguished lecture on the neural circuit mechanisms shaping social encounters! #brainsandbehavior #DLSseries #neuroscienceresearch

Hooray, our paper is out in Current Biology! Congrats to first author Patryk Ziobro and the rest of the team, and thanks also to our excellent reviewers for their critical input! Cornell Psychology sciencedirect.com/science/articl… x.com/katietschida1/…

What if you lesion the hippocampus of male #PrairieVoles and put them in the field? Caitlyn Finton, PhD Lindsay Sailer 🧠🇭🇳 Will they bond (yes) Will homerange size change (no) Will it affect monogamous males (not really) Will it affect non-monogamous males (yup!) frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

This was a fun study with Catherine Marler! How does chronic oxytocin, given in adulthood, impact response to a potential threat? Turns out it depends on *how long after the treatment ended*. 1/2

New review out with Catherine Marler! Everything you didn't realize you needed to know about how social context and endocrine systems regulate conditioned preferences in the lab and field! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are urgently seeking passionate institutions interested in #AnimalBehavior and #Genetics to use or adopt our unique #TameMice. With retirement of the lead professor, this invaluable line risks being lost. We hope for your support to preserve this interesting research.

Young scientists regularly ask me for career advice. Academia or industry? Big company or startup? US or Europe?  Good scientists in AI disciplines are fortunate to have many choices. But choosing can be stressful. I always give the same advice. 1/10
