Dopamine shifts from reward to cue during learning. But how is this reflected across the brain?
Combining NAc dopamine photometry with whole-brain fMRI in behaving mice, we link this classic dopamine dynamic to brain-wide changes as learning unfolds.

I'm on the 2026-27 faculty job market!
My lab will study how prefrontal circuits build and coordinate the brain-wide networks behind lasting memories, and how psychedelics & related compounds reshape those networks and behavior.
Interested? Get in touch: brainofzedzed.github.io/

Congratulations to Karl Deisseroth, winner of the 2026 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. The @StanfordMed & @StanfordEng professor of bioengineering and of psychiatry and behavioral sciences is a pioneering developer of optogenetics, a technique that uses light to control the behavior of cells.

BREAKING NEWS
The 2026 #NobelPrize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel “for their discoveries concerning light-gated ion channels and optogenetics.”

Excited to share my lab’s latest preprint led by postdoc @YukiHaba_ and grad student Ryan Schwark. We surprisingly find that spontaneous behavior in isolation predicts a naked mole-rat’s identity, its colony membership, and even rank within its colony.

Hey y'all, I'd like networking reposts if you can. Georgios Skiniotis and I are pleased to announce a unique faculty position at St. Jude, and we're both particularly excited about what this search could become.
It is a true joint strategic effort between the Center of Excellence for Structural Cell Biology and the Division of Neuronal Cell Biology in the Department of Developmental Neurobiology.
The CoE-SCB is an intellectual community of investigators developing and applying emerging structural and cellular imaging approaches to understand biological mechanisms directly within cells and tissues.
The Division of Neuronal Cell Biology and Department of Developmental Neurobiology bring a complementary culture centered on fundamental questions of neuronal development, organization, and function, with deep expertise in advanced cellular imaging.
We are looking for the rare scientist who pursues important questions in neuronal cell biology wherever they lead and brings advanced structural and cellular imaging to bear.
If the intersection between cryo-ET or vEM and neuronal cell biology feels like your scientific home, take a look.
