Ever wonder how gut feelings get processed in the brain? Our latest study in Nature Communications found that an ingestible vibrating capsule produced changes in both stomach sensation and gastric-evoked brain activity: nature.com/articles/s4146… (1/12) #interoception #neuroscience

First rule of bunny fight club: you never trigger the camera trap 😆

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…

Join me this Friday! I will tell you about my career trajectory and research, and you can ask me anything... For Students & Postdocs only.

Textbooks may need an update now 🤓 Proud to be part of this! Congrats to Amelia Douglass et al who meticulously worked over the years to get this story together.

An incredibly detailed and indispensable resource that is sure to be a game changer for so many projects. Congratulations to all the authors!

First lab research paper! We explored insula's activity patterns (the infamous "manifold"). We found very consistent manifold structure and dynamics, allowing decoding across different mice and different motivations. Check it out, feedback welcome! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Hi, thanks to Lynn Nadel & Sarah Aronowitz I wrote a book chapter on multiscale predictive representations that connect the past to the future, memory to planning. There's still time to edit it & I'd love to read your comments! Am I missing citations? arxiv.org/abs/2401.09491

My daughter: What are you working on? Me: Proofs for a paper.. My daughter: Awwww. You’re listed last. Does that mean you worked on it the least?

TL;DR: Students who embody scientific dispositions familiar to faculty are easily recognized and rewarded with more opportunity to develop cultural capital in science. Faculty, do you recognize students who differ from your internal model of a scientist? lifescied.org/doi/10.1187/cb…

What Can Mice Teach Us About Anorexia Nervosa? By Hakan Kucukdereli and @markandermann.bsky.social brain.harvard.edu/hbi_news/what-…

I've been spending time analyzing open-source systems neuroscience datasets, and my general impression is that there are major problems with how people organize their data and write their code. This needs to be a bigger part of training.

The future is here 👇

Podcast episode 98 is out! We explore the world of neural circuits with @markandermann.bsky.social from BIDMC & Harvard University. Hear how our brain controls hunger & satiety, and what happens when these systems malfunction. Listen on all podcast platforms. Watch on YT:

I am thrilled and grateful to share that I’ll be starting my lab at ISTAustria in June 2025! We will study how the hypothalamus maintains homeostasis in response to challenges. Check out our website: dmhlab.org, and if interested please get in touch!
