A EXTREMELY useful tool
(1/3) Excited to introduce our new GRAB sensors for a series of steroid hormones! These tools enable real-time detection of steroid hormone dynamics in vivo🐭🧠.Happy to share these sensors and welcome any feedback!Please contact yulonglilab2018@gmail.com for information.

Another story of “love”
I'm really excited to introduce our new paper @DulacLab on the neurobiological original of "sociality" (the need of being together), recently published in Nature (see detailed digest below). https://t.co/cX2J1GsaPO

Monitoring opioid during freely moving social interaction is something that I have been thinking about doing for several years. Very useful tool and congrats to my friend @JasonCDong1 and the team!
A paper in @NatureNeuro presents a suite of genetically encoded opioid peptide sensors for probing opioid drugs and brain-region/circuit-specific opioid release in behaving animals. https://t.co/Dt5Cm9Rkvy

Excited to share my first paper from Inagaki Lab @MPFNeuro! How does the “timer” in our brain control movement? We discovered specialized computational roles of the frontal cortex and striatum that implement such an action timer⏱️ https://t.co/qSUp6TRTbA
biorxiv.org
Flexible control of motor timing is crucial for behavior. Before movement begins, the frontal cortex and striatum exhibit ramping spiking activity, with variable ramp slopes anticipating movement...

Sexual and reproductive health is extremely important. It would be interesting to see if the density of corpuscles is regulated by physiological states in females. Congratulations to the authors!
Excited to share our paper on the specialized sensory structures of the genitalia for sexual touch. It was a collective efforts with the co-first author Michael Iskols @MIskols and other authors @RSegalGreenberg @AnnieHandler and others not on X.

Recently in @CellCellPress, Dr. Yuki Oka and colleagues from @Caltech revealed the bimodal regulation of appetitive and tolerance signals 📶 toward salt, which together dictate the amount of sodium consumption under different internal states. 🔗 https://t.co/3bfRHXJ4zE
