Excited to share that the Gadagkar Lab is now open @ZuckermanBrain @Columbia and recruiting! Postdocs, grad students, techs interested in the neuroscience of communication in songbirds – get in touch! Please RT. …agkar.zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu

Proud to have contributed to @JiaxuanQi's masterpiece out @Nature! She shows dopamine transients track the quality of song during juvenile song learning and that dopamine release is driven not just by VTA firing, but by a local cholinergic mechanism! nature.com/articles/s4158…
@VikramGadagkar, @neuro_kim, @jonathankasdin and colleagues witnessed the role the brain’s reward machinery plays as the brain naturally learns over time through practice. Learn more! zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/songbirds-high… #neuroscience @nature @googledeepmind @columbia
Excited to share our latest work! It’s been a great experience working on this (including setting up a whole new lab!) 😊 nature.com/articles/s4158…
Congratulations to the @Columbia faculty named @SloanFoundation Fellows this year: Lydia B. Chilton, Milan Delor, Vikram Gadagkar, Raquel Queiroz, and Evan D. Sadler! news.columbia.edu/news/five-colu…
Congratulations to our own @VikramGadagkar, one of five @Columbia faculty named @SloanFoundation Research Fellows! 👏 news.columbia.edu/news/five-colu… #brain #learning #socialbehavior
Honored to be awarded the Sloan! Very grateful to my lab, mentors, @ZuckermanBrain @Columbia @SloanFoundation #SloanFellow
🎉Congrats to the 126 early-career scientists who have been awarded a Sloan Research Fellowship this year! These exceptional scholars are drawn from 51 institutions across the US and Canada, and represent the next generation of groundbreaking researchers. sloan.org/fellowships/20…
What happens in a male bird’s brain when he hears a female responding to his song? You might say his brain retunes its priorities. Learn more in a new @Nature article by @ZuckermanBrain’s @VikramGadagkar and colleagues @AndreaRoeser @jesseGlab zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/how-audience-c…
A great honor for me and my entire lab to join the McKnight community! Thanks for your support @ZuckermanBrain @Columbia None of this would have been possible without the outstanding mentorship of @jesseGlab when I jumped into neuroscience 10 years ago!
📢Announcing the 2023 McKnight Scholar Awards🧠 These 10 scholars are committed to solving the most fundamental problems in neuroscience. Learn more about these incredible neuroscientists and the McKnight Endowment Fund for Neuroscience 👇 mcknight.org/news-ideas/202…
Apply to the new and amazing postdoc program at Columbia's @ZuckermanBrain to work with us or in >50 labs in a unique and stellar scientific environment! zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/zuckerman-inst…

Honored and delighted to be awarded the DP2! The Gadagkar Lab will study female songbirds as a model for how we evaluate the actions of others. Interested postdocs, get in touch! @NIH_CommonFund #NIHHighRisk @ZuckermanBrain @Columbia
Early-stage investigators proposed innovative high-impact research ideas for the @NIHDirector’s New Innovator Award. See the projects the awardees will pursue: bit.ly/hrhr2022nia #NIHHighRisk
New paper alert! I am happy to share our Primer on *Dopamine*, published as a free featured article, now out in @CurrentBiology ! This was a pleasure to write, and I hope it will be a useful resource for the readers! cell.com/current-biolog…
Way to go Arnav!!! @pantamallion
