if you’re here in breckenridge for #WCBR2024, come check out my poster (board T18) tomorrow on NAc dopamine dynamics in flexible, yet persistent, sign-tracking behaviors during a cue contingency change! ❄️☃️

if I had a dollar for every time I slipped and fell on the sidewalks in breckenridge walking to and from #wcbr2024 programming… I would have precisely $6.

Hey #winterbrain2024, get to sleep earlier tonight than you did last night so you can come to our panel tomorrow at 7:30 on preclinical models to study the effect of psychedelics on anxiety and depressive behaviors with Sixtine Fleury, Boris D Heifets, WenthurLab, and Charles Nichols

Happy to share this work from graduate school where we characterize single unit in-vivo electrophysiological activity in the central amygdala as rats formed a habit response on a maze task biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share a new paper! How is BLA activity shaped by reward learning? And what role do PV interneurons play in guiding reward seeking behaviors? Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1il2f3QW8S6D…

Big news! I will be joining the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences Dartmouth Psychological and Brain Sciences this Fall! My lab will study the neural circuits and physiological states that regulate appetitive and aversive motivation.

one of my most cherished & brilliant students, Daniela Garrod is graduating today! I am so lucky to have spent 3+ years doing science with her. she’ll be starting her PhD in the Brown-NIH program in the fall, and she’s 100% going to be a superstar in the coming years 🌟🧠

I was extremely fortunate to have Daniela work with me at Tufts as part of the BDBS program last summer! She’s an exceptional scientist and will be great in graduate school! Congrats Daniela Garrod on an impressive undergraduate career
