I am thrilled to share our latest work: we identified a population of central amygdala neurons that promote the earliest and perhaps most important social behavior: pup suckling!... We also developed new tools for pup neuroscience
Work by @Jeff Moore now at USC, a collaboration with @Sam Pfaff lab

Thanks, that makes total sense, and these are indeed the studies I use for my undergrad class on cortical remapping... what about the study in human showing remapping of fingers into face? I guess it has to be discarded too?....

3 generations of Dulac researchers, from literature and philosophy of the Enlightenment (my dad), to theoretical physics (my nephew Raphael) to neuroscience (that’s me)!… 🤩👍👏

An amazing talk today by @ardemp.bskyverified.social with precious advice on science and survival! Thanks Ardem for having @harvardmcb.bsky.social as the first stop of your seminar tour 🙏👏

And special 👏 to PK who was awarded this year Hoopes Prize for her senior thesis: here when she just learned about it. Please note the T shirt beneath her mouse facility outfit, PK is also a star athlete! So many talents in the @dulaclab.bsky.social

Congratulations to the 4 exceptional senior undergrads who defended their thesis in my lab: from left to right, Selorna, Misha, PK and Josephine, together with their postdoctoral mentors Zuri Sullivan, @dingliu.bsky.social and @mostafizurrahman.bsky.social (Tricia Horvath in maternity leave)

Terrific second day of visit at UCSD for the Kuffler lectures and very much enjoying seeing Melonie Vaughn, former undergrad in the lab, now graduate student, and @bambahmukkulab.bsky.social, both doing superbly here, as expected!...

the women of my lab -thanks Lianna for the cool montage-

Dulac Lab end of the year celebration at Summer Shack last night: delicious oysters, lobsters and many other sea delicacies on the menu!...

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry: a great poem for troubled time...
