I'm recruiting a PhD student to study how enkephalins affect cognitive processing in the rodent frontal cortex. The project uses pharmacology, multi-electrode recordings, and fiber photometry, and is funded by NIDA. Please share with trainees applying this cycle. Thanks!

Thrilled to finally share good news on a new grant for my lab! It has been a long wait after the grant received an outstanding score back in March from the NMB study section and was approved by council in early May. Anyway... time to get on it! :-)

The Neuroscience Dept at American University is hiring for a tenure-track position at the Assistant level and with expertise in Computational Neuroscience. Apply by Sep 15:

Congratulations to Dr. Jensen Palmer, who successfully defended her dissertation today! She will be first-author on four papers on the computational and neural basis of decision making. We'll miss her and wish her all the best in her future endeavors. @JensenPalmer

Thrilled that our paper on the role of the rat prelimbic cortex in decision making is finally out! Three main findings are described in this thread.
