Our Behavioural Brain Research special issue on Ultrasonic Communication in Rodents is growing, rapidly – and actually a lot faster than I manage to post about it. Nine new manuscripts got accepted since my last post. Quite impressive work. Check it out:

Welcome in our group, Henry!
New team member! Very happy to welcome Henry Werk who is joining the @wohrlab.bsky.social @unimarburg.bsky.social site. He will study the effects of lithium in rat models for mania, integrating brain and behavior through recording 50-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations. Looking forward to exciting science.

Can we study placebo effects in rodents? At the @sipsplacebo.bsky.social ECR Summer School in Kraków, Poland, I was proposing that we can do so by using ultrasonic vocalizations as a key element of the anticipatory response. Thanks for the great round table discussions, @sfb-trr-289.bsky.social!

Tomorrow tuesday afternoon at @vssmtg.bsky.social , our poster about what it takes for the brain and AI models to process the valence of complex and ambiguous social scenes
Are Visual areas representing the emotional valence?
What about AI models, visual or multi-modal?
