Our work was covered by @iciradiocanada.bsky.social

Towards wider public outreach, thanks to my supervisor for the vulgarisation

And more attention towards looking at bipolar disorder from the perspective of two clocks

Really excited to share my PhD work which was published yesterday in @ScienceAdvances
. We found the neural location of the dopamine clock (dopamine oscillator aka DO) that drives infradian (longer than a day) sleep-wake cycles.

Mesolimbic dopamine neurons drive infradian rhythms in sleep-wake and heightened activity state
Ablation of the dopamine neurons of the ventral tegmental area abolishes the capacity to produce infradian behavioral rhythms.
