How does environmental enrichment affect food seeking? We show reduced cue evoked food seeking following just 24hrs of EE accompanied by cell type specific alterations in the mPFC as well as important contributions of a sucrose cue ensemble #fridayscience doi.org/10.1038/s413...

As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone

The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write
