We had a fun lab lunch to welcome Dr. Meredith Bauer to the lab and to celebrate Margot Lortie and Anika Paulson being accepted to grad school! Feeling grateful to work with this fantastic group! 馃帀馃檶馃徎馃ア
Attending #SfN23? Come by our posters on Monday afternoon to hear about ventral pallidal mechanisms underlying consumption, incentive motivation and expected value encoding, as well as the influence of alcohol cues on compulsivity!

ALT Flyer with presenter photos and information. Anika Paulson (289.24 / MM22) Ventral pallidal GABAergic neurons drive consumption in a sex-dependent manner Ankit Sood (289.25 / MM23) Ventral pallidal encoding of expected outcome value evoked by Pavlovian cues Margot Lortie (289.26 / MM24) Alcohol-paired cues drive aversion-resistant drinking in Long Evans rats Bailey Newell (289.27 / MM25) Ventral pallidal GABA neurons are necessary for the invigoration of reward-seeking by cues
We had a fun summer lab gathering last night! Feeling grateful to work with this great group of scientists and for the slightly cooling weather!
Good morning #SfN22 - stop by PP7 this morning to hear from @AnkitSood28 about his work on ventral pallidal encoding of expected value!
This afternoon Tony Joseph is presenting on the impact of ethanol vapor exposure on prelimbic c-fos in response to ethanol cues! Come say hi at OO17!
Big congrats to lab member Alexandra Scott on being awarded a MnDRIVE Graduate Fellowship in Neuromodulation!!!
Happy holidays from the @RichardLab_ ! Here鈥檚 hoping for a brighter, kinder 2020.
