New paper out! Led by @michaelecoulter.bsky.social, we learned that rats can learn to use content-specific neurofeedback to generate specific remote hippocampal representations. surprisingly, this occurs *outside* of SWRs!

Antipsychotics is often used to suppress hyper-aggression. Does it really suppress aggression or just cause sedation? Antipsychotics targets dopamine receptors. Our new study revealed that dopamine modulates aggression based on animals' fighting experience. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Experience-dependent dopamine modulation of male aggression - Nature
Dopaminergic neurons in the ventral tegmental area have a role in modulating aggression in adult male mice, and this effect of dopamine depends strongly on fighting experience.

Some new images from last night using a new stain (for us). Was imaging with a trainee and we came to the conclusion that being a brain astronaut it pretty cool... 250um MIP from an iDisco cleared brain using LSFM.

1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! We looked at how dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains—turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all! Comparing CD1 & C57 male mice, we found strain-specific dominance behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab…🧵 Paper here: tinyurl.com/bdeuf6s9
