preprint🚨 ✨A Stickiness Response System in Rats tinyurl.com/4wnu88v9 What underlies that sticky, icky feeling? Sticky sensing is surprisingly underexplored. we investigated its neural and behavioural basis Congrats to Sandra, @simonerencken.bsky.social @jasmine-stone.bsky.social Adam, Tom & Pam! 👏

Thank you to @annmclemens.bsky.social and Michael Brecht for their support and mentorship as we brought this project that started @mblscience.bsky.social @nsb-mbl.bsky.social this summer from idea to paper form, it was so much fun to work with Sandra, @simonerencken.bsky.social, Adam, Tom and Pam.

Thank you @annmclemens.bsky.social and all involved for an awesome experience learning to patch, do behavioral experiments, and even get results along the way in a creative and fun project!

Congrats to the 2026 rat somatosensory team 🐀🧠 Adam, Jasmine, Pam, Sandra, Simone and Tom on their groundbreaking teamwork @nsb-mbl.bsky.social Thx to 🪰🐟 modules, staff, directors for amazing support in making this year another fun-filled, enriching scientific experience 💫 @mblscience.bsky.social

What do moonwalking flies teach us about fear, avoidance, and the brain? Come to my short talk and lab visit in #nyc @zuckermanbrain.bsky.social @columbiauniversity.bsky.social next Tues 7pm to find out! www.eventbrite.com/e/late-night...

Late Night Science: Moonwalking from Theory to Experiments and Back

Immerse yourself in the world of scientific research while learning about how the brain controls the body and tour a research lab!

Interested in dopaminergic learning, interaction of appetitive and aversive learning systems, & history-dependent modulation of learning? Come by my #cosyne2026 poster Thursday [1-096]: Reinforcement learning with distributed representations of prediction error and value. #compneurosky #neuroskyence

(1/26) Excited to share a new preprint led by grad student Albert Wakhloo, with me and Larry Abbott: "Associative synaptic plasticity creates dynamic persistent activity." www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Associative synaptic plasticity creates dynamic persistent activity

In biological neural circuits, the dynamics of neurons and synapses are tightly coupled. We study the consequences of this coupling and show that it enables a novel form of working memory. In recurren...

Excited to speak @rldmdublin2025.bsky.social later today! Find me at poster #74 after.

Excited to present a poster at #cosyne this evening #neuroscience 💻🤖🧠!
