📣 Preprint!! Hugely excited for this new direction - An ongoing collaboration with the incredible labs of @nanopharmnc.bsky.social and Gina Leinninger!! Beautiful work from the McElligott lab shows that biased NTSR1 signaling in the extended amygdala suppresses motivated feeding. 🐭🍩

Lots of cool stuff going on. Come to visit, and stay to get your fill of dose-response curves and learn more than you ever (knew you) wanted to know about neurotensin receptor 1!! 🤓 📈
#SfN2025 here we come! I am thrilled to be joined at the Society for Neuroscience meeting this year by Madelyn Moore, @kelseyperson.bsky.social, @valeriarobleto.bsky.social, and Crystal Lemchi. If you are in San Diego for the conference, please stop by to say hi! 👋 🧪🧠🟦
Thank you SBP for the wonderful highlight! And thank you @behnoushhajian.bsky.social for the beautiful artwork! ✨

So excited to see our latest paper out today in @natcomms.nature.com! Studies led by the amazing @margestelzner.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41.... VTA GABA neurons have a unique role in economic decision making - they integrate reward seeking motivation and the current cost of seeking

Happy to share with you that we have a new preprint up on @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social " Biased signaling at NTSR1 differentially regulates inhibitory synaptic transmission in the extended amygdala and suppressess motivated feeding in mice" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Big new paper from us published yesterday: The synaptic ectokinase VLK triggers the EphB2–NMDAR interaction to drive injury-induced pain

Led by @hajisciencebaji.bsky.social in my lab and a wonderful collaboration with Matthew Dalva's lab at Tulane
