I'm SO excited to have this out in the world!!!! Check out our latest work on the contribution of the anterior hypothalamic nucleus to stress sensitivity and valence processing.
I'm honoured to be among this incredible group of scientists and immensely grateful for the support of @braincanada.bsky.social, which will allow my lab to address fundamental questions about how reward memories can be so long-lasting, influencing mental health conditions like addiction.
Congratluations to Drs. Stan Floresco (@psych.ubc.ca) and David Metzer (@ubcmusic.bsky.social) for being named as Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada 👏 @src-rsc.bsky.social Learn more about both Dr. Floresco and Dr. Metzer and this achievement ⬇️
We’ve got a 3d printer and we know how to use it.
Congrats Travis!!!
My lab is ALSO recruiting a new postdoc to work on an exciting NIH-funded project. Start date ideally by early 2027. Please share with any recent or soon-to-defend neuro/psych PhDs with experience in rodent labs. northeastern.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/careers/job/...
