Excited to say that our paper on #hippocampus-accumbens projection #neurons and their role in spatial reward navigation and appetitive behaviours is now published in @NatureComms! Please see preprint thread below for our main findings. https://t.co/Tl9Vu8lgQn 1/4

Nature Communications - The dorsal hippocampus plays an important role for spatial memory, but how its outputs guide behavior is not fully understood. Here, the authors show that nucleus...
🚨🚨🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨🚨🚨 We used dual-colour in vivo #two-photon #imaging and #optogenetics to learn what information the #brain’s dorsal #hippocampus sends to #NucleusAccumbens while mice navigated to a learned #reward site. What did we learn…? A🧵1/25

Storytime! Please RT/share! I am hyped to share that my PhD work is now preprinted (also my 1st-1st author paper). It was quite a journey! https://t.co/dV6H4kIPPQ It’s a story about binge eating and flavor, a short thread here: 1/n
biorxiv.org
Binge eating commonly leads to overeating ([1][1]; [2][2]; [3][3]; [4][4]), but the exact mechanism is unclear. While it is known that experiencing flavor contributes to satiety, the interactions...

Studies have shown flies can sleep. But do they sleep in stages like humans? Do these stages show micro-behaviours: analogous to REM in humans? Here, we (@vanswinderenlab) show flies do sleep in stages, show specific micro-behaviours while sleeping https://t.co/CST6fbNxaR. [1/N]

In neurodegeneration, specific parts of the brain are sick. @BrtDeStrooper, @RPraschberger, Sriram Balusu, @elsa_lauwers and myself published a review in @NeuroCellPress of how specific cells in the brain become defective; check it out here: https://t.co/sZQfOfrTzH
