@racheldonka.bsky.socialImportant paper, and excellent title!
Show PostNew lab paper led by @racheldonka.bsky.social! Sensor sensibility: dopamine sensors for fiber photometry respond differently to acute morphine treatment 🧠 link: doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...
Show PostTL;DR: The rise of fiber photometry, as a method to look at dopamine dynamics, has led to the creation of different sensors (varying in DA affinity, kinetics, etc.) We must be wary about which sensor to use, especially when testing any drug on dopamine signaling! (as of now we like dLight1.3b)
Show PostLooking forward to speaking at the 2026 Monitoring Molecules in Neuroscience (MMiN) Meeting in September! I’ll be presenting recent work on developing & using genetically engineered sensors to monitor brain activity in living, behaving animals 🧠 Register by 9/7: monitoringmolecules.org/mmin-2026/
