Really delighted to share our new article in Current Biology showing that the cingulate-to-dorsolateral prefrontal pathway is not involved in trial-to-trial short-term adaptation but rather in sustained motivational control.

Transcriptomic diversity of amygdalar subdivisions across humans and nonhuman primates Specialized cell types and links to psychiatric disorders are revealed by genetic mapping of primate amygdala neurons.

A spatially resolved transcriptomic atlas of the primate amygdala (human, macaque, and baboon) now out in Science Advances (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). The amygdala contains 32 types of neurons with many neuron types specific to particular subdivisions.

Lots of updates from the preprint!

Thalamic nucleus reuniens preferentially targets inhibitory interneurons over pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA1 region The prefrontal - hippocampal - entorhinal system is perhaps the most widely-studied circuit in cognitive and systems neuroscience, due to its role in supporting cognitive functions such as working mem...

We have updated our nucleus reuniens paper: now with added data from rat (courtesy of Zaf Bashir's lab in Bristol). They also failed to evoke a synaptic response in CA1 pyramidal cells when activating reuniens axons, in either dCA1 or vCA1.

Paddling by this abandoned shack with the dilapidated lounge chair on the dock - thinking about how 15 year old me would have so stopped and explored, but not no way in hell now. Thought about this paper and wondering how adolescence/aging impacts these processes?

Dissociable effects of curiosity and hedonic valence on reinforcement learning Curiosity and exploration support learning and adaptive decision-making in uncertain environments. While these processes are sensitive to motivational context, it remains unclear how outcome valence s...
