Updated with some slice ephys findings! @crisprcas9 learned to patch with @JoeyCheers and reveals sex specific effects consistent with behavioral findings: DMS CB1R signaling is required for Pavlovian devaluation and gates inhibitory synaptic transmission biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Happy to share @crisprCass9's travel award for SfN! Congrats Cassie!

We’re recruiting a postdoc & potentially also a tech!!
We’re an inclusive team of behavioral neuroscientists trying to discover the brain circuits that help us learn about rewarding events and use that info to make good decisions. More info👇

The Department of Neurobiology is pleased to announce the promotion of David Martin, PhD, to Research Associate. David studies learning and motivational processes in addiction modeling and psychedelic action in collaboration with @CalulabBmore @um_mind
Beyond proud of Dr. @BacharachSam and the incredible team behind this @CaluLab_Bmore @JoeyCheers @yulonglilab collaboration
I'm beyond excited to share the product of my dissertation, and the latest work of @CaluLab_Bmore, now published in @SfNJournals #JNeurosci
It’s got Pavlovian behavior, opto, eCBs, photometry, and dopamine (which of course is doing something unexpected)!

Glad to have @GyawaliUtsav, first @CaluLab_Bmore PhD’s thesis work officially out!!
Several amazing papers recently on dopamine’s role in food and drug motivation. Yet most focus on striatal DA. Not us! We probed dorsal BNST dopamine’s role in sign and goal tracking using GRABDA during Pavlovian approach, RPE, satiety etc. Check it out!
