But how does reward processing impact our decision-making? Chris studies how receiving a reward - or not - might change the next decision we make.

By studying different dopamine circuits , we can understand how the brain tracks whether an outcome is expected and plan our next decisions.

Don’t you hate when you buy something from a vending machine and it gets stuck? Dopamine tells your brain that the outcome wasn’t what you expected. You've probably heard about dopamine as the "feel-good hormone", but it does so much more!

How does drinking alcohol shape the aging brain? @neuronikki.bsky.social studies how heavy drinking impacts neurons as we age.

Research has shown that alcohol use disorder (AUD) in middle age increases the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia - but how?
