Delighted to share our discoveries about one of the brain's neurotransmitter systems:
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Together with colleagues at the @alleninstitute.org, we have learned a lot about a tiny cluster of neurons in the brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) that releases norepinephrine (NE). 1
As a reminder: I am hiring a postdoc and at least one research assistant for a project on VTA circuits and cognitive function that starts this summer. Get in touch if interested!

Adolescent obesity induces sex-specific alterations of action control www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.01...
Awesome work! Congratulations!
So grateful to share the "first" preprint from the lab. Long overdue but I am very happy about the work which has been done in my team.
We explored how the consumption of different obesogenic diets during adolescence was having long-term impact impact goal-directed and habitual behaviours. A thread
