🧪 I might be the only author on Blueksy, so here we go.
Serotonin in the caudate while doing uniquely human things (a social game) provides information about movement disorder diagnosis.
This work started a long time ago with Ken (when he was at Wake Forest) working with Read at VT.

Honored to be elected to serve as the next vice co-chair, along with the amazing @sciolinolab.bsky.social, for the Catecholamines Gordon Research Conference. I first came to this meeting in 2011 as a grad student and it was transformative for my career. Excited to help cultivate that for others.
