Kicked off our UNSW Behavioural Neuroscience Research Seminars with a fantastic talk by @drlcwalker.bsky.social on sex differences in binge drinking and the mysterious EW. Very cool work! 🧠🔬

Great talks by Nathan Holmes and @karlyt.bsky.social to kick off week 3 of ACAN advanced neuroscience school today!

✋

Over the moon to be awarded an @arc_gov_au #DiscoveryProject with Prof Simon Killcross @ #UNSWScience! This project will investigate when, where and how corticostriatal circuits support impulse control. Big thanks to the village of supporters that helped me get here! #DP25 🐀🧠👩🏻‍🔬

My paper is out!! 🎉

"Opponent control of reinforcement by striatal dopamine and serotonin", @Nature

Here, we show that dopamine and serotonin signals form a gas-brake system for reward in the mammalian brain

Relaxin family peptide receptor 3 (RXFP3) expressing cells in the zona incerta/lateral hypothalamus augment behavioural arousal Relaxin family peptide receptor 3 (RXFP3) is an inhibitory G-protein coupled receptor expressed widely throughout the mammalian brain. We show that RXFP3-expressing cells in the mouse zona incerta an...

Neuroinflammation in the dorsomedial striatum causes excessive goal-directed action control by disrupting homeostatic astrocyte function Compulsive actions have been confusingly described as reflecting both excessive habitual and excessive goal-directed action control. Here we sought to resolve this contradiction by inducing the neurop...
