Had a blast writing this insight article with @sydneytrask.bsky.social covering original research from the @michaeldrew.bsky.social lab on the stress-specific recruitment of a brain region that drives fear behaviors!

Behavioral Neuroscience: The consequences of stress on the brain and fear
A region of the brain called the paraventricular thalamus mediates the impact of stress on unlearned fear responses, but is not involved in learned fear behavior.

Really excited to be able to work with @kurtfraser.bsky.social and @the-fadoktor.bsky.social! Can’t wait to start our experiments on how social behaviors are guided by positive and negative experiences in distinct settings and regulated by the developing hippocampus
Shoutout to the awardees on this platform! @smellosopher.bsky.social @kurtfraser.bsky.social @nicoleferrara.bsky.social @the-fadoktor.bsky.social @mlovettbarron.bsky.social
