Glad to share that our article is finally out! Kirk did a wonderful job designing a 3D printed stereotaxic apparatus controller for fully motorized control, customizable buttons, and a graphic user interface that allows you to load and move to preset coordinates during surgery.
#eNeuro: Mulatz et al. designed StereoPylot, a customizable motorized add-on for stereotaxic equipment that increases accuracy by automating repetitive movements and calculations, reducing mistakes in surgery while remaining affordable and open source.

Why does Dr. Howland review for NPP? "I enjoy reviewing for NPP given the consistently high quality of the submissions, and I learn a lot by reading the other reviewers' comments"

I recognize this paper! Thanks for the tweet @PsychopharmEBPS!
New in #Psychopharm! The odor span task has been proposed as a measure of non-spatial working memory capacity, and it depends upon nucleus accumbens neurons, and D2 (not D1) neurotransmission there!

Congratulations @talpaca13 !!!
Amazing to see @talpaca13 develop this project as an idea for her comprehensive exam and then refine and polish it into this full length review with @BryanJenkinsPhD! Congratulations!!! 🍾💥👏
Novel non-pharmacological interventions like Gamma Entrainment Using Sensory should be considered for cognitive symptoms in neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. From a simple brain child with @BryanJenkinsPhD to publication, I am ECSTATIC! sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Congratulations @DanLMcElbot for pushing your love of the RSC on me and now the world!
We are officially part of the Retrosplenial Cortex (RSC) literature!
@EJNeuroscience: doi.org/10.1111/ejn.16284
Our findings highlight a crucial role for glutamate signalling in the RSC when recalling previously explored objects and locations.
