Our lab is hoping to hire a research technician with neuroscience experience to join a new project examining awareness and anticipation of body signals. The ideal candidate would have experience with stereotaxic surgery and acquisition/analysis of neural data.

Feeling thirsty? Hungry? In mice, the insula bridges different timescales of interoception by tracking & predicting thirst & hunger states. See how in work by Yoav Livneh, @markandermann.bsky.social & coll. bit.ly/3bCiUX1 Preview by Vijay Mohan K Namboodiri & Stuber Lab bit.ly/39yKfYL

Our insula review is out in Neuron!!! @markandermann.bsky.social and I review recent studies recording and manipulating cellular activity in rodent insula at timescales from seconds to hours. Inspired by theoretical and CogNeuro studies,...(1/2) authors.elsevier.com/a/1dpeg_KOmxI~…

This is an awesome guide to techniques in neuroscience (in my unbiased opinion). Check it out! 👇🏻

Williams is the best! Could not recommend it more :)

Anorexia nervosa is a curious eating disorder where individuals go against their homeostatic needs and practice food restriction and self-starvation. We focused on a single symptom of this complex condition to see what it could teach us bit.ly/3IjaJ4A

I am excited to share our preprint on how hypothalamic hunger- and satiety-promoting neuropeptides compete at the level of cAMP to regulate feeding. We imaged endogenous peptide signals in subcellular compartments during behavior. Below are the findings: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I’m over the moon to share my postdoc work nature, where we provide an answer to the longstanding question: how is the body’s stress response system (the HPA axis) activated during starvation? nature.com/articles/s4158…
