This work is now online!

Many thanks to @mbruchas for the mentorship, our co-authors, reviewers and @NIDAnews for the funding.

If you're interested in following up on how endogenous opioids promote motivated behavior, my lab @neuro_MUSC is hiring!
Excited to share our work in the @mbruchas lab on how endogenous opioids promote goal-directed behavior, funded by @NIDAnews. I am currently on the job market and this work will form the basis of my research program.

It was such a pleasure seeing this evolve and I'm so happy this beautiful, paradigm-shifting work is out. Congratulations @BrainMadelyn!

Thrilled to share our work out in @Nature! Linking flexibility modeling, single-cell imaging, and targeted optogenetics allowed us to characterize how some prefrontal neurons, and mPFC-VTA neurons in particular, drive contingency degradation behavior. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Hi #ACNP2024! I'm a NIDA K99 postdoc in Michael Bruchas' lab at UW, interested in how endogenous opioids promote goal-directed behavior. Come by my poster on Wed (W171) if you'd like to hear more. I'm also on the job market and would love to chat about potential opportunities!
We are officially on the ground in Phoenix so it's time for the #ACNP2024 role call 📣

Introduce yourself, your science, tell us if you're a veteran or first-timer, promote your poster/talk/favorite social - whatever you want, this is your space to say it ⬇️
