I’m excited to share my latest postdoc project with you all! This was a dream team collaboration co-led by Rita Cervera and @SvitlanaBach. We also developed web apps that allow anyone to easily explore the data, found in the GitHub repo below 👇🏻 github.com/LieberInstitute/B…
26 years after Larry Swanson emphasized “the amygdala is neither a structural or functional unit” we used sn-RNAseq to answer the question: “What is the [primate] amygdala?” Check out the preprint 👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Such a pleasure working with this team (@MicTott @SvitlanaBach @martinowk @stephaniehicks @VincentCostaPhD) to systematically describe primate amygdalar neuron molecular diversity in anatomical terms. Stay tuned for insights into neuron-type function.

This has been an amazing collaboration that I think exceeded all of our expectations - both the amount of fun and the research product. I think we provided something important for the field and brought some new insight.

Check it out #SfN24!
Check out @CostaNeuroLab posters (now @EmoryUniversity) at #SfN2024 from @k_rothenhoefer & @MicTott in collab w/ @martinowk/@stephaniehicks! We've made a big push to use molecular tools to study amygdala function in nonhuman primates @NPRCnews. Looking forward to feedback!

This is what we refer to as a mediocre sunset in PDX. By the way still looking for a postdoc to join @CostaNeuroLab. If you enjoy sunsets, neurons, and reinforcement learning DM me or get in touch via email.

Now that we have some data trickling out for #SfNConnectome21 decided we needed a lab logo. It's no coat of arms but it scratches the itch for now.

Interested in combining computational modeling w/ neurophysiology in NHPs to study how motivational circuits, esp. the amygdala, mediate reinforcement learning? @CostaNeuroLab is looking for a postdoc! We will be at #SfN18 & #ACNP18 Get in touch: amygdalalab.com

Excited to announce that I will start my own lab this fall in the Department of Behavioral Neuroscience @OHSUSOM!
