Happy to share paper 3 led by David Jacobs sciencedirect.com/science/ar… Big picture question: How does learned anxiety affect frontal cortical (PL vs orbitofrontal) activity during reward-guided actions?
THREE proofs in one week!! That is a record for @MoghaddamLab 😇 Stay tuned for details of these papers on 1) adolescent impulsive actions and orbitofrontal-striatal engagement, 2) dietary omega-3 & adolescent anxiety and 3) cortical adaptation to reward seeking in anxiety

Microglia (🟡) and Aβ plaques (🔵) in the thalamus of a 1-year-old 5xFAD mouse. Whenever I look at these images, I wonder if microglia are attracted to plaque areas because they: 1) further deposit Aβ into plaques, 2) attempt to degrade plaques, or 3) both. #FluorescenceFriday
