Excited to share the lab's first fiber photometry paper, out now in #JNeurosci 🎉😃🐀🧠💫 This one feels particularly special: it marks a new experimental direction for the lab and reflects so much hard work, troubleshooting, learning, and persistence from an incredible team 🔬✨ More to come!

Does resource scarcity blunt the maternal brain’s reward system? Not exactly. New in #JNeurosci: Rat mothers with reduced nesting materials show altered VTA dopamine neuron activity around insensitive caregiving and pup separation, but not food reward. https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.0997-26.2026

really very extremely excited (and proud!!) of my first postdoc paper officially out TODAY!! I’ve been investigating how simultaneous alcohol and nicotine exposure alter PL activity and anxiety-like behavior, and love the direction the work is taking us. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Very excited to share a new review with Dr. Ian Maze born out of my PhD work! 🧠🧬 We dive into how early life experiences shape the epigenetic landscape of the developing brain—and how these lasting changes may contribute to risk for affective disorders.
