New paper alert! Our research describing the role of Nucleus Accumbens Shell in punishment-resistant alcohol self-administration is out now in Neuropsychopharmacology. Huge effort from first author Allison McDonald, and the many coauthors who helped. rdcu.be/dPp1x

.Adam Brockett, a 2011 PSYCTerps graduate, recently set out to see how the brain is impacted by a psychedelic drug being studied to potentially treat depression. Learn more about his Univ. of Maryland Grand Challenges Grant Program-funded project at go.umd.edu/BrockettGCG24.

Really big thanks to everyone at GRC Frontal Cortex for making my first GRC (+ first meeting as a postdoc & first in this field) such a fantastic experience. The first time I've really felt part of a neuroscience community & I'm coming away so energized!

For another first, allow me to plug my first first-author paper from my grad work, recently out in JNeuro! We recorded from NAc neurons as rats performed a STOP-change task and found two cell populations with distinct task-related activity patterns jneurosci.org/content/44/29/…

Excited to have this work with Dr. Nik Francis out, and excited to be starting my lab University of New Hampshire and COLSA. Check below for more info
