I'm more than psyched to share that my PhD paper is now out in Neuron! It's also my first paper as both first author and corresponding author, which means even more to me!

Thank my partner Chi-Chieh for her contribution to the most adorable ever graphic abstract 🥰

Loops paper! 💡
@hunglo.bsky.social, Friedrich Johenning & team show that during binge feeding, OT GABA neurons silence piriform cortex → flavors fade, fullness lags and eating continues!

Who knew smell circuits could fuel overeating? 🐭🧋

Feeding-induced olfactory cortex suppression reduces satiation
Binge feeding commonly leads to overeating. Experiencing flavor during food consumption contributes to satiation. Still, the interactions between flav…

New in Neuron: “Feeding-induced olfactory cortex suppression reduces satiation” @CharitéBerlin researchers. This study reveals how the sense of smell controls meal ending & binge eating behavior. Read more: tinyurl.com/227dw782 #Neuroscience #Satiation #BingeEating @hunglo.bsky.social & colleagues
Feeding-induced olfactory cortex suppression reduces satiation
Lo et al. show that binge feeding suppresses piriform (olfactory) cortex activity, reducing the brain’s representation of food flavor. This suppression is driven by the olfactory tubercle and promotes...

🚨 Preprint alert! 🚨
Can mice estimate the distance to an odour source?
New work led by Cristina Marin and colleagues, jointly supervised by @andreas-t-schaefer.bsky.social at the @crick.ac.uk and myself.

Spoiler alert: Yes, they can!

We have a fresh new paper!
The PhD project of the talented Mark Conway.

A learning-induced change in the sensitivity of olfactory receptor neurons enables consistent perception of an odor. #olfaction #neuroscience

Perceptual constancy for an odor is acquired through changes in primary sensory neurons
Learning-induced changes in primary sensory neurons support concentration-invariant perception of an odor.

I recently created this account and figured I should make an introductory post.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate interested in all things neuroscience, although primarily involved in systems and computational aspects of the brain for the moment. Looking to connect with the neuro folks in here! #neuroscience

Everyone knows that failure is bad. We devote a lot of time to trying to avoid it. But sometimes failure is good.

A brief story: ~11 yrs ago, when my friends were all starting their own labs, I was starting my 2nd postdoc. My 1st postdoc (w/ Gord Fishell at NYU) had ended in disaster when 1/

A moment in time: Dieter Oesterhelt passed away in Münich on this day (November 28) in 2022. He identified the 1st microbial rhodopsin more than 50 years ago, with far-reaching impact that could hardly have been imagined.

Finally finding some time to read through the chaos.

Mitral cells will prioritise the soma as spike initiation site upon weak stimuli from olfactory sensory neurons. However, when the stimulus is stronger, they switch to the dendrite! Cool stuff from 2002!

A bit late to the Bluesky party but here’s our work showing a coordinate system for behavioural space, and an algorithm for computing behavioural sequences in the mFC: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mice generalize complex task structures by using neurons in the medial frontal cortex that encode progress to task goals and embed behavioural sequences.

My lab studies both lab mice and naked mole rats. There is a belief amongst some that what we discover in mice will be universally true, and what we discover in naked mole rats will be a weird mole rat quirk. I believe this mouse-centric view of biological systems is very limiting.

A stunning finding from human cortex: SST inhibitory neurons lost first in Alzheimer's... even earlier than excitatory neurons.
