Officially out today! Long-running project, many thanks to give - in particular to my mentors & collaborators, the postbacs who worked so hard on each experiment, and the reviewers. If you love the amygdala, give it a read. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Risk reshapes amygdala representation of choice
Modifying behavior in response to changing environmental conditions is a crucial adaptive function. This capacity is evident when animals curtail the …

Altered Dopamine Signaling in Extinction-Deficient Mice
A central mechanism of exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety and trauma-related disorders is fear extinction. However, the mechanisms underlying fear extinction are deficient in some...

I’m excited to share the most recent study from the Bruchas lab, which represents the culmination of my postdoctoral work, and serves as the platform for my future research programs investigating the in vivo role of the endocannabinoid signaling system! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Endocannabinoids facilitate transitory reward engagement through retrograde gain-control
Neuromodulatory signaling is poised to serve as a neural mechanism for gain control, acting as a crucial tuning factor to influence neuronal activity by dynamically shaping excitatory and inhibitory f...
