The ability to consider and appraise positively valenced stimuli in the environment, such as food and social interaction, to guide appropriate action is important for survival of most animals. Several...

Candidate uses experimental approaches to examine any aspect of neural function, including molecular, cellular, systems, or developmental neuroscience

The lateral septum (LS) is anatomically positioned to play a critical role in directing information from the hippocampus and cortex to downstream subcortical structures, such as the hypothalamus. In f...

Projection-specific optogenetic and chemogenetic experiments reveal a hippocampal-lateral septal pathway that potentially acts via the ventral tegmental area to regulate social novelty preference beha...

The Simons Foundation’s short film on the life and impact of Jim Simons is a People’s Telly Gold Winner.

The complexity of social behaviors makes it difficult to study the neural mechanisms that underlie them. Here, we describe an automated, low-cost two …

The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

Across species, social behaviors are shaped and maintained through positive reinforcement of affiliative social interactions. As with nonsocial reward…
