The 2024 SSIB Special Edition of Physiology and Behavior is now available! Check it out: www.sciencedirect.com/special-issu... Over the next few days we will be highlighting articles from this issue. Let us know which one you want to see covered first.

🧪 I might be the only author on Blueksy, so here we go. Serotonin in the caudate while doing uniquely human things (a social game) provides information about movement disorder diagnosis. This work started a long time ago with Ken (when he was at Wake Forest) working with Read at VT. rdcu.be/eDDPf

Calling all behavior lovers- come learn about LabGym, a new tool for automated behavioral analysis. It's pretty amazing and useful. Please repost. @ssibsociety.bsky.social @ummni.bsky.social @acnporg.bsky.social @sfn.org
