In our new bioRxiv preprint, we used Inscopix miniscopes to calcium-image neurons of 3 striatal output pathways (matrix direct/D1, matrix indirect/A2A and striosome/Oprm1) in mice making decisions. Hypothesis: the matrix serves as RL-actor and the striosome as critic. [1/9]

LESS IS MORE. We lacked a truly easy to build, highly functional, low-cost, micro-drive for long-term tetrode recordings + optogenetics in freely moving mice and rats. The DMCdrive is here, check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Perk: drive of gamma oscillations in rats

We are excited to announce a virtual conference on dopamine research happening May 20-22! We have a great lineup of invited speakers and are accepting abstract submissions for talks and posters until May 8th. Register and spread the word! vidaconference.com

The Molecular Atlas of the Adult Mouse Brain from Lundeberg and @meletislab is now published in Science Advances! We (re)defined brain regions based solely on their molecular signature, unbiased by pre-established atlas. The molecular atlas is available at molecularatlas.org

Super excited to join the SciLifeLab community!

Great opportunity for starting a lab at several Swedish universities

“The Allen Institute for Neural Dynamics will focus on understanding how the brain, as a whole, solves problems to drive our behavior and ultimately to enable our survival in complex and ever-changing environments.” — karel svoboda Visit: neuraldynamics.alleninstitute.org

Our latest study in Nature Communications shows that selective stimulation of midbrain neurons can normalize severe locomotor deficits in mouse models of parkinsonism. Congrats to Débora Masini. nature.com/articles/s4146… #Parkinsons #MovementDisorders Lundbeckfonden Novo Nordisk Foundation

So excited to share our paper on nicotine aversion is out today-- the result of many years and much fun with the brilliant dr. christine liu on blue sky !! authors.elsevier.com/c/1fWPl3BtfH1Y…

The Royal Institute of Art and SciLifeLab have connected the creative minds of artists and scientists. You are all very welcome to visit the exhibition at SciLifeLab Campus Solna until May 5, during opening hours!

Happy to share our new preprint from Ann Graybiel’s lab, updating striosome and matrix pathways wiring and function. Big thanks to all Co-authors!!
