Always the best work Nic - absolutely great!

Congrats Beth! 👏🏽 🎉

Thanks Phil!

Somehow I wasn't following you yet here 😂😂😂

If you are a highly motivated grad student (@uabneuro.bsky.social) or a prospective postdoc with experience in behavior, neural recordings, or programming, and would like to contribute to this project, just contact me. Details on kmcostalab.com

This has been in the pipeline for while, so I am really thrilled it came out. I also thank the reviewers, which made interesting suggestions and really helped refined the discussion during the review process

These findings support a "model-based" interpretation for dopamine signaling, and suggest that dopamine signals, especially in the nucleus accumbens, reflect a domain-general, or multi-dimensional, prediction error

Em português: junto com meu colaborador, Anderson Herculano, aprovamos um projeto do CNPq para colaborações com brasileiros no exterior, como eu. Estou muito feliz pela oportunidade de colaborar com a UFPA, onde fiz minha graduação, agora como PI do meu laboratório nos EUA

Also a shoutout to @yulonglilab.bsky.social for making and sharing their fantastic sensors for dopamine and acetylcholine recordings!

This finding sheds light on how different neuromodulators act together to define behavior.

I am grateful for my colleagues, including my co-first Zhewei Zhang and my mentor Geoff Schoenbaum, and to the institutions that made this possible - NIDA, the NIH, and UAB @uabneuro.bsky.social
