The brain has complex dynamics that give rise to a range of states & behaviors. 🤔 How do we study this complex system? In my lab’s work, we design and optimize biosensors to measure brain activity at the molecular level.

This is it. The act of science -like art- is not the output, it is the interaction and the process. What makes us the kind of scientists we are is how we approach the problem 🧪

we have a new manuscript out! 🧵Lead by @sarayconley.bsky.social with significant contributions by @sarahsizer.bsky.social @madiganbedard.bsky.social and Sara Faccidomo and Clyde Hodge. We describe a tonic excitatory conductance in the BNST! link.springer.com/epdf/10.1007...

Excited to share our Version of Record in eLife! We find that two ways of inhibiting a brainstem structure (PPN) actually result in completely different and even opposite behaviors. One inhibitory connection is rewarding and one is aversive.

We’re searching for a Developmental Neuroscientist! Building on UO’s rich tradition in the field, we’re excited to welcome the next scientist to carry it forward.
