So glad this work is out and in an excellent special issue!
Working with an array of researchers we began identifying eeg biomarkers of behavior in humans and mice! We found one for effort!
Amphetamine increased effort in both species but did not move the #eeg #biomarker
#psynomCABN Special Issue! Elevated parietal alpha power is an EEG #biomarker for measuring motivation-related behavior in cross-species progressive ratio breakpoint tasks #amphetamine. @pharmichaelogy @JimCav @JaredWYoung bit.ly/3JZj1yS

Saw a pallet in the parking lot this morning stacked with cardboard boxes labeled "MICE" and thought huh, that doesn't seem like a very safe or secure way to transport animals, leaving them out in the open like that
Then I saw the boxes labeled "KEYBOARDS"
🚨New paper from @JaredWYoung lab, in collaboration with Drs @JimCav, Greg Light, Neal Swerdlow, and John Brigman @PsychiatryUcsd @UNM
We showed that amphetamine increases motivation in humans and mice without affecting an EEG biomarker

Here we showed that the PRBT has cross-species pharmacological predictive validity - amphetamine increased effortful motivation in humans and mice. It didn’t affect a related EEG biomarker, but keep an eye out for more data from our group!
Thanks to everyone who took part in this study - Drs Savita Bhakta and Jo Talledo, as well as Juliana Kotz, Lindsay Benster, Benjamin Roberts, and John Nungaray, and @NIMHgov for funding task development research aimed at @NIMH_RDoC approaches!

It's Tuesday poster session soon - you know what that means?! Our posters will be ON SHOW!
Come say hi and see some dazzling work from our great team inc. @pharmichaelogy (Doc Noback), @SamanthaM_Ayoub (Doc Ayoub), & the TL Doc Miranda and newly @SOBP travel awardee Ben Roberts
had a stress dream about an upcoming poster with some breakpoint results, however dream me decided to put pictures of keanu reeves and patrick swayze on the poster instead of data
when you’re acclimating a new group of mice to operant chambers and they’re still iffy about being taken out of the box at the end of the round
can now check “branded tote bag full of branded tote bags” off of my #SfN2022 scavenger hunt
Welcome to San Diego #SfN2022 attendees! I’ll be presenting a poster Sunday afternoon on a project done in conjunction with a previous intern in our group. Come say hi!
(and that’s a double V, not a W, don’t make the same mistake i did lol)
