Congrats @AmelieBorie and coauthors in the @lyoun03 and @gordonberman labs! Excited to share our findings on how #oxytocin’s mechanism of action depends on prior social experience in voles. If you’ve ever wondered why OT might act differently in different people, read on… (1/5)

The ❤️ of my thesis was published today in @NatureComms. We developed a new assay, "Social Incentivization of Future Choice," to investigate the impact of social experiences on instrumental behavior in mice. Go read it! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Interested in neural circuitries and social behavior? Join us! We have positions for a tech, grad student and postdoc. You will work with Oxtr-icre rats to reveal a neural circuit spanning three brain regions. DM or email me for application details. Pls RT!
Great to see this review article in collaboration with @AmelieBorie and @lyoun03 on oxytocin’s complex mechanisms out! Thanks to @stevewcchang and @neurophilip for putting together an excellent collection of oxytocin articles in royalsocietypublishing.org/t…

Stoked to finally publish our Social Dominance paper using #AlphaTracker and wireless recordings to reveal pfc representations of dominance and winning behaviors and the circuits that control them!!

THREAD from 1st author 👇
Finally happy to unveil my postdoctoral paper on its final form, done under the guidance of @kaymtye and in colab with @BatraKanha @Cewu_Lu A few highlights:
-A new dominance assay for mice
-A new tool, AlphaTracker, to track multiple animals

New @biorxivpreprint from @anowlan: Multisensory integration of social signals by a pathway from the basal amygdala to the auditory cortex in maternal mice. Thread (1/8) biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Why is that good? Without the accumbens’ own endocannabinoid signaling, a pair-bonded female shows more rejection-like postures with her partner, treating him more like a stranger. Cool example of #oxytocin’s intricate physiological actions in the #socialbrain!(5/5)
