New preprint w/ @kenneth-harris.bsky.social, @flickerfusion.bsky.social & @carandinilab.net: we recorded across striatum, GPe & SNr in a Go/NoGo task. Striatum encodes which stimulus, GPe & SNr encode action. 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.6... 16525
Chris Zimmerman @czimmerman.bsky.social · 13/03/2026📢📢 My lab at @utah.edu is officially open and I'm RECRUITING — especially techs/specialists and postdocs! Our research focuses on the neurobiology of interoception and learning & memory using tools from systems/comp neuro. Please share! 🧠🏔️🏜️ Apply/more info: zimmerman-lab.org#positions 03317

Chris Zimmerman @czimmerman.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Very happy to share our new preprint (with Alex Pan-Vazquez) about how dopamine generates representations of value in the striatum! 080
Chris Zimmerman @czimmerman.bsky.social · 07/08/2025This is a great opportunity for aspiring neuroscientists! Recent RAs in the Witten lab have gone on to fantastic PhD programs (Pitt, Penn, Colorado, Princeton, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon). 030
Chris Zimmerman @czimmerman.bsky.social · 08/07/2025I’m very excited to share that I will join the University of Utah Department of Neurobiology as an Assistant Professor in Jan 2026!! 🎉🏔️🏜️ My lab will focus on body–brain interactions in learning & memory — how do signals from our internal organs remodel the brain & behavior? 1814012

Chris Zimmerman @czimmerman.bsky.social · 03/04/2025How do we associate the flavors we experience during a meal 🍽️😋 with postingestive effects like food poisoning 🤢🤮 that arise much later? Our answer in @nature.com this week: Illness signals from the gut reactivate and strengthen flavor representations in the amygdala. 📄: nature.com/articles/s41...nature.comA neural mechanism for learning from delayed postingestive feedback - NatureIllness signals from the gut reactivate and strengthen flavour representations in the amygdala to support learning from delayed postingestive feedback. 1016750
