Hung-tu Chen, Nicolas Tritsch, Matt van der Meer, and I have submitted a new preprint (doi.org/10.1101/2025...) in which we use simultaneous hippocampal ephys and ventral striatal (VS) fiber photometry to establish a link between sharp-wave ripples (SWRs) and VS dopamine (DA) in mice. (1/9)
Ventral Striatal Dopamine Increases following Hippocampal Sharp-Wave Ripples
Leading theories suggest that hippocampal replay drives offline learning through coupling with an internal teaching signal such as ventral striatal dopamine (DA); however, the relationship between hip...

Miriam Janssen: 1% of your tax dollar goes to science
APPROXIMATELY 1% of your tax dollars are used to fund science research. The Trump administration is cutting roughly 40 to 50% percent of this research funding — what does that
