Neuroscientist! 🧠 Postdoc looking at dopamine, learning & neural circuits @OxfordDPAG Prev: non-invasive brain stim & rTMS mechanisms @UWAResearch 🇦🇺 ➡️🇬🇧

Joined December 2019
Ever wondered what rTMS might be doing at subthreshold intensities? 🧠⚡️ Our new review covers the many ways low intensity rTMS can change the brain, and the possible mechanisms at play! doi.org/10.1016/j.crneur.202… @abs_society @UWAresearch @ANS_Students #rTMS

Excited to be heading to Oxford to join @ArminLak and his lab and get stuck into some interesting research! 🧠 Very grateful to @royalsociety for the funding and support
We are happy to welcome @JessicaMoretti_ to Oxford, where she joins @OxfordDPAG on a Newton International Fellowship @PerronInstitute @UWAresearch

Our new paper shows that LOW intensity rTMS is sufficient to induce brain-wide network connectivity in the 🐭brain Evidence points to prominent subcortical changes (striatum! amydala!) and modulation of parvalbumin interneuron activity nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

🤩Showcasing our PhD students- Meet Jessica Moretti Jess explores how types of brain stimulation can affect how we think. "SBS has surrounded me with supportive and knowledgeable people that help me pursue my goals as a neuroscience researcher. " To read 👉bit.ly/2U3ufMF

Academic writing is wild bc you’ll read four articles just to write one sentence. Anyway, here’s a thread of resources I’ve been using to speed through this review I’m working on:

New paper! authors.elsevier.com/c/1c5IM… We looked at whether low-intensity rTMS could affect motivation in wildtype or ephrin-A2/A5-/- mice and looked for any corresponding c-Fos changes in the mesocorticolimbic pathway after the chronic rTMS. (1/2) @UWAresearch #AcademicTwitter

Behaviour suggests a perseverance phenotype in ephrin A2/A5-/- mice, no change in motivation. + Increased c-Fos expression in NAc core and shell after LI-rTMS of ephrin-A2A5-/- mice. We discuss the possibility of LI-rTMS effects on habit formation in ephrin-A2A5-/- mice (2/2)

The lab is looking for a postdoc! We're studying neuromodulation of thalamo-coritcal-striatal circuits in decision making and motivation. Multi-site, multi-color calcium imaging, neurotransmitter sensing, opto, BEHAVIOR. Please retweet! careers.pageuppeople.com/968…
Happy to share that our first #depression paper is now published! 🎉 In this one we used MRI to validate the CRS behavioural model of depression. Stay tuned for our next paper, where we’ll explore the changes following treatment with rTMS @UWAresearch @NIFAus #AcademicTwitter
