I’m happy to share a part of my PhD work: in this study we investigate the impact of permanent offspring loss on rat mothers’ limbic system, oxytocin receptor binding and stress-coping behavior. @AgMaternal Alice Sanson Oliver Bosch The full text here 👇🏼 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Open PhD position in the lab! 🚀Get in touch if you want to crack synaptic mechanisms in the postpartum brain & beyond. We patch, we image, we track behavior and hormonal release. PleaseRT fens.org/careers/job-ma…

Our latest paper by Cindy Grossmann is now out in Psychoneuroendocrinology. We show that mating with ejaculation can reverse conditioned social fear in male mice. This effect is mediated by oxytocin signalling in the lateral septum. Inga Neumann doi.org/10.1016/j.psyn…

We are hiring!! Interested in how emotion affects social interactions? Interplay between neuropeptide and neurotransmitters? Ca2+ imaging + behaviors 🐭 Join us as a PhD student 🚀 Application details👇👇 Please RT or DM if you know someone interested 🙏 fens.org/careers/job-ma…

Highly recommended!!

Our recent paper is out Frontiers - Neuroscience !!! We show how vasopressin modulate activity of both excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the olfactory bulb in vitro. The neural modulation could enhance odor discriminability and enable social discrimination. frontiersin.org/journals/neura…

Our review is out in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews! We discuss the emerging role of mitochondrial dynamics in psychopathologies & outline converging patterns across disorders/phenotypes. 📍Free access link: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jf--Y3M3i2Ft #mitochondria #psychiatry #anxiety

Thrilled our work #SiegelbaumLab Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute demonstrating a role for the hippocampal CA2 in broader social episodic memory by establishing CA2 as a critical component of the social fear circuit is out! 1/n: nature.com/articles/s4159…

Long story about the nucleus accumbens in short: - Infusion of CRF, UCN3 or oxytocin antagonist in the shell impaired maternal aggression - Oxytocin release increased during maternal aggression 👇🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excellent work from one of the best young scientific minds I have had the pleasure of knowing!

Our new paper is out!! 🥳😊. Emotional Self-Experience Modulation of Reaction to Others Emotion (in mice) nature.com/articles/s4159…

Enjoy! Our new paper on social learning of mice.

1/4 I am very pleased to share this new manuscript, “A crucial role for the cortical amygdala in shaping social encounters”, led by 2 spectacular postdocs, Dr. Tony Aubry who is on the job market, and coauthor Romain Durand-de Cuttoli. Friedman Brain Institute Read it here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Looking to recruit a Project JRF for my research group. The application deadline is 24th February. Interested candidates, please apply.

Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint on the neural mechanisms underlying helping behavior in mice! 🧠🐭 We show that dorsal hippocampal networks play a key role in rescuing a distressed peer: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

"We at the deutsche bahn sincerely apologize for this delay" is the best joke of the year! German trains are a joke! #deutschebahn
