His work today explores the phenomenon of recall; a 2021 preprint from his group demonstrates how optogenetic manipulation in mice can restore memories that were poorly stored—and thought to be ...

In the first, the researchers observed how optogenetic activation of MCH neurons affected food consumption in a controlled environment. Mice were housed in cages equipped with automated feeders ...

Mice detected the unresponsive state of conspecifics ... Neural activity recordings via microendoscopic calcium imaging and ...

A network of neurons in the hypothalamus can turn feeding behavior on or off with the flip of an optogenetic switch in mice. Kerry served as The Scientist’s news director until 2021. Before joining ...

Chronic high-fat diets blunt the brain’s pleasure response to rich foods by impairing NAcLat→VTA signaling in mice. Neurotensin dysfunction underlies this effect, but restoring its signaling revives ...

It’s been 4,000 years since the eight-ton, 12-foot, elephant-like beast walked the Earth, but part of its DNA now operates inside several litters of four-inch, half-ounce mice created by ...
