Generalization and extinction of platform-mediated avoidance in male and female rats
Scientific Reports - Generalization and extinction of platform-mediated avoidance in male and female rats
rdcu.be
🚨Paper alert!!🚨
Excited to share out latest research where we investigated avoidance, fear generalization and extinction learning using a modified platform-mediated avoidance procedure in male and female rats.

Reminder that we're looking for a Post Doc and the deadline is looming (Sept 5th). If you are interested, please get in touch. If you see this, please repost it to that it is seen by potential applicants!
Job Alert!!! We are looking for a motivated postdoc to join a 3-year BBSRC funded project led by my colleague Carl Stevenson (I’m coPI). This multi-disciplinary project will combine in vivo heart rate monitoring and optogenetics with behavioural testing (fear and active avoidance) in rats.

Today, over 20,000 bee species are buzzing for #WorldBeeDay 🐝
Bees & other pollinators keep 80% of crop and wild flowering plants alive.
Yet, 1 in 10 bee, hoverfly, and butterfly species are now at risk of extinction in the EU.

If you are interested in dopamine and avoidance, check this out ⬇️
Behold Laura Vercammen's (scientific) firstborn 🐣! What a beautiful baby ☺️.
Laura looked at the impact of dopamine receptor blockade on avoidance acquisition.
