New paper alert!!...🤩 Led by @blogeman.bsky.social, we identify how cell type-specific hormonal responses in the hypothalamus tunes parenting behavior in males and females 🐭🧠🍼. Highlights in thread 👇 1/6 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I am thrilled to share our latest work led by @zurisullivan.bsky.social in collaboration with @moffittlab.bsky.social ! We find that the brain encodes distinct, pathogen-specific sickness states across behavior, physiology, neural activity, and gene expression 1/6 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

MCB Researchers Highlighted in Nature Publication Series 🧠 🧪🧬 #AcademicSky #higherEd www.mcb.harvard.edu/department/n... @dulaclab.bsky.social @rachellegaudet.bsky.social @harvardbrainsci.bsky.social @nature.com @harriskaplan.bsky.social

New paper from our lab! This was such a fun project to be a part of - proof that sometimes following a spurious observations down the rabbit hole leads to awesome findings. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Animal behavior changes considerably over postnatal development. How do such changes relate to the development of underlying neuronal circuits? On Friday, 7/25, 3pm, join hosts Drs. Marco Rizzo & Tamara Markovic as they welcome @harvard.edu's Dr. @harriskaplan.bsky.social to #MSNseminars & Find out!

I’m excited to share our publication from @dulaclab.bsky.social in @nature.com, where we illuminate the development of hypothalamic cell types involved in a broad range of functions, from social behaviors to thirst, thermoregulation, and sleep. Highlights below! 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Delighted to share our new work just out today, led by terrific postdoc in the lab @harriskaplan.bsky.social: the development of instinct at the single cell level. Thread to follow shortly www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In our new paper @dulaclab.bsky.social, we investigated a fundamental question in social neuroscience: the origin of "sociality" (the need of being together) at the levels of behavior, neuron type, neural circuit and sensory modulation. (Detailed digest below) (1/7) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Please look at the 🧵 from @dingliu.bsky.social summarizing our discovery of brain-wide circuits controlling the emergence and satiation of social drive during social isolation vs grouping

Obviously we don't need to wonder about Zuckerberg's moral compass or pecuniary interests here, we've known who this guy is forever. The question of why leaders of institutions like HHMI / universities would be so silent/compliant is more complicated.

We have to stand up for science! Anyone who can join these rallies and believes that US science must be protected should come! @standupforscience.bsky.social

F99/R00 AND K99/R00 DIVERSITY AWARD APPLICANTS If you have applied for a F99/R00 or K99/R00 Diversity award and the study section for review is not listed on your eRA Commons page, please reach out to me. DM me, email [email protected], Signal jeremymberg.78 THANK YOU

Exciting abstracts are already rolling in! Don’t wait—submit your work before the speaker selection deadline. We’re also eager to highlight the latest tools and tech in development! #neuroethology #animalbehavior #neuralcircuits

Humans and other animals take turns during conversations. In our new paper we study the aggressive visual conversations of betta fish. We discover how fish know when is their turn and how the telencephalon is not needed! 🧪 www.cell.com/cell-reports... More details in 🧵 ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/bend...

Just In case people need to follow people in neuroscience focused on natural behaviors and the brains of cool non-trad animals! Please join let me know if you wanna be added. go.bsky.app/AcLpM4h

In collaboration with Reuben Saunders, @jswlab.bsky.social, and Xiaowei Zhuang, we are very excited to release Perturb-Multi: a platform for pooled multimodal genetic screens in intact mammalian tissue. Check it out! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
