The lateral habenula as a master regulator of innate and learned social behaviors

Happy to share my lab's first review article!

We outline how the lateral habenula is a critical regulator of almost every type of social behavior, from pro- to anti-social behaviors, in both sexes, and across the lifespan. Hopefully this can serve as a useful reference!

Part of of the problem with this is that Dems fighting for this just signals they care more about their own reelection than fixing the actual issues. It's not a good protest to start with, imo.

And from last week, congrats to my student, Grace Dodis, and my postdoc, Sanghoon Choi, on the first Flanigan Lab manuscript acceptance! Accepted without revisions!

Look out for this upcoming review on the role of the lateral habenula in social behavior in Psychopharmacology :)
