Great job Dr. @SenaAgezo! You’ve been an outstanding contributor to all three of our labs @lyoun03 @LiuLabEmory @gordonberman!
Congratulations to Sena Agezo for an outstanding PhD defense today! Congrats to his mentors @LiuLabEmory and @gordonberman
Mastering 🍾? ✔️A perk of PhD training when you get a paper published! Congrats @dakshitha12! Check out her review “More than the end: OFF response plasticity as a mnemonic signature of a sound’s behavioral salience” frontiersin.org/articles/10.…
Congrats @Meganrdubs for your fan fav poster presentation at #sbn2022 on your prairie vole USV work with @LiuLabEmory and @lyoun03 labs! So proud! It’s been a super meeting @SBNTweets
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)

How does this happen? In paired females, #oxytocin newly couples to #endocannabinoid signaling to potentiate excitation in the accumbens (4/5)

Does it matter? For a paired female that prefers her partner, the higher the excitatory signal, the longer she huddles with him (3/5)

Trying to see the big picture clearly?#oxytocin can lower noise in the accumbens of virgin females. But after pair bonding, it instead amps the excitatory signal (2/5)

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)

Curious how neural coding changes with communication sound experience? So proud of Kelly Chong and the @LiuLabEmory trainees (@dakshitha12, Alex Dunlap, Dori Kacsoh) who helped figure out this new piece of the story!
#JNeurosci: New research in mice suggests a new functional role for "Off" responses in primary & secondary auditory cortex neurons, contributing to understanding of communication sound processing & plasticity within the auditory cortex.

Congrats @AubreyMKelly on being named one of only 13 Klingenstein-Simons Fellows in neuroscience! Super cool #socialneuroscience and #neuroethology research @emorycollege!
Got quant skills and looking for a postdoc opportunity in an area with lots of room for scientific growth and collaborative research? Join us @Emory to discover neural circuit and coding mechanisms for social sensory learning! biology.emory.edu/job-opport…
Bye bye Austin & #VoleMeeting2019! Shout out to @gordonberman and @lyoun03 lab members! Got some great feedback about our collaborative efforts!
