New paper out! For decades there has been a ‘standard model’ for gamma oscillations. This upends that model - PFC gamma oscillations are not one thing. Rather they dynamically recruit diverse cell type-specific synchrony motifs to implement multiple functions: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Cognitive dysfunction in conditions such as schizophrenia involves disrupted communication between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the mediodorsal tha…
Chemogenetic Inhibition of Lateral Hypothalamus Inputs to the Paraventricular Thalamus Reduces Goal-Tracking in a Behaviorally Flexible Subgroup of Male Rats https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.28.728487v1
❤️ Howard will be greatly missed
Check out this very cool new paper on rat ultrasonic vocalizations emitted in a naturalistic habitat--some surprising findings, and cool quantitative analyses done by Jordan Saltzman in the Ron Frostig Lab in Neurobiology & Behavior @ucirvine.bsky.social

Easily the largest dataset of neurons recorded in the central amygdala during sucrose and alcohol self administration to date - super cool!
More evidence the CeA is a motivational amplifier (but I’m biased bc it’s from @janaklab.bsky.social )
Thrilled about our new @janaklab.bsky.social paper now out in @npp-journal.bsky.social🧠⚡
Action-sequence termination cues evoke mesolimbic dopamine activity that drives habit-like behavior.
Thanks to Tricia Janak, @younavandaele.bsky.social, and @yfcheng.bsky.social!

1/ New preprint from the lab 🧠💉 led by Hazel Edwards & Lola Papanikolaou. We investigated whether artificial reactivation of cocaine-related HPC memories influences relapse-like beh after extinction. We tagged dDG ensembles encoding cocaine experiences during CPP.

First Castro Lab paper, brought to you by the hard work of Dr. Kathryn Braden @katybraden.bsky.social In this manuscript we investigate the role of endogenous enkephalin or dorsal raphe nucleus. We find that it is incredibly important for buffering negative affect 😱
