Excited to see our fMRI paper is out, led by Itamar Kahn’s lab. Our grad students, Amir Lawen and Bella Succi, in collab with Darcy Peterka, built a setup for simultaneous fMRI and dopamine fiber photometry in awake behaving mice. science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Dopaminergic signaling in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is central to reward-based learning, but its relationship to brain-wide hemodynamics remains unclear. Using concurrent fMRI and dopamine photom...

Check out the new preprint from the lab demonstrating that the posterior thalamus is necessary for some migraine-like behaviors! Great work by our team! Especially my graduate student @AgathaGreenway biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Inhibition of Posterior Thalamic Nuclei Attenuates CGRP-induced Migraine-like Behavior in Mice

Inhibition of Posterior Thalamic Nuclei Attenuates CGRP-induced Migraine-like Behavior in Mice

Objective To determine whether induction of migraine-like symptoms in mice by calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) requires activation of the posterior thalamic nuclei (PoT) in the brain. Backgro...
