Come see my amazing mentor Jennifer Isaac present on her (side) project of the past few years: Sex differences in neural representations of social and nonsocial reward in the medial prefrontal cortex! At 3pm today!

Starting shortly. If you are SFN do check it out. Very cool work done by Jennifer Isaac, Sonia and Hymavathy Balasubramanian

Interested in the septum ? Check out some really cool work we are doing on the septum at the poster session this afternoon at SFN. Sonia Jennifer Isaac

Checkout our exciting new preprint. A fantastic effort led by Dr. Maha Rashid Maha Rashid with important contributions from Sarah Thomas, Jennifer Isaac, Sonia and Hannah Klein. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (1/8)

With another semester ending, here's your annual reminder that teaching evaluations systemically disadvantage women. Even when controlling for grades and other factors, students (esp. males) consistently give female professors lower scores. This can have serious ramifications.🧵

Check out our reviewed preprint on elife. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… Congratulations Maha Rashid , Sarah, Jennifer Isaac and Sonia.

Thanks Susanna Molas and eLife - the journal for the great article highlighting our paper. elifesciences.org/articles/99363 Maha Rashid Jennifer Isaac Sonia

Great session at the Optogenetics Gordon Research Conference Seminar! Amazing talks from all speakers, and discussion well led by our leaders. Proud to be in this group of rising stars ✨ @DerynOLeduke Brandy Briones Debora Calderon Maria Olvera Caltzontzin Johan Sköld

The latest publication from our lab on social and food reward representations in the PFC. This was a team effort spearheaded by Jennifer Isaac with loads of help from Sonia and Hymavathy Balasubramanian. Jari L. Javier / river to the sea 🇵🇸, Nick and Maha Rashid played key roles too. rdcu.be/dTSTV

If you are going to be at SFN and want to see what we have been up to, we have five posters and a talk. All unpublished data, so come give us feedback! Feel free to retweet! Thanks!

If you’re at #SfN24, come see my work on reward representations in the lateral septum on Monday afternoon! 🐭 🧠

You know what they say, "save the best for the last". Come join us.

Day 4 at #SfN24 has been amazing! Don’t miss Hymavathy Balasubramanian from the Malavika Murugan lab Emory University showcasing how the mPFC processes social and non-social rewards using #nVue #miniscope, revealing distinct PV interneuron activity patterns! hubs.ly/Q02SslFr0

What a year it’s been! So honored to have received the Emory Neuroscience Program Scholar of the Year award!

Spent the past few years with Malavika Murugan studying what drives affiliative social interactions in 🐭 & now you can read some of our thoughts in Trends in Neurosciences 🧠

Want to compare social and nonsocial reward seeking behavior? On STAR Protocols, we provide instructions for the assembly of a 2 choice operant chamber with an easy to use GUI-based acquisition system. Low cost and fully automated STAR Protocols sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Check out our newest paper from the lab! With co-author Hymavathy Balasubramanian, we provide a highly flexible operant assay for social versus nonsocial reward-seeking. It can be applied to so many scientific questions!

This started as my rotation project when Sonia was still an undergrad. So glad to see it out on bioarxiv, just in time for me to defend on Friday 🎉

Defended my PhD on Friday and couldn’t have asked for a better lab to do cool science in for the past 5 years! Stay tuned as we finish up some of the work that I presented
