Professor, Neuroscientist, Group Leader @LMU_Muenchen interested in how your brain 🧠 converts feelings into actions. 🇺🇸 in 🇩🇪. @ERC_Research Awardee.
📢Big news, please RT🎉 I will be starting as a TT Assistant Professor (W2) of Neuroscience at @LMU_Muenchen in April 2025! The Schroeder lab will study how the brain 🧠 generates internal states, and then uses this information to adapt behavior in dynamic environments. 👇A🧵
Finally it's out! nature.com/articles/s4158… Thanks to Felix Baier, Karl Farrow and Hopi Hoekstra! And a big thank you to all the co-authors, reviewers, host institutes and funding sources! @BramNuttin, Arnau Sans Dublanc, Chen Liu, Victoria Tong, Julie Murmann and Keimpe Wierda
How flexible are essential innate behaviours and their underlying neural circuits? @Felix_Baier and I, with @HoekstraLab and @FarrowLab, addressed this question by studying the #evolution of threat avoidance in sister-species of Peromyscus mice. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Our department chair has been appointed as the new Vice President of @LMU_Muenchen! Congratulations Benedikt Grothe! 🎉🤗
✨ Heute wurden an der #LMU neun Vizepräsidentinnen und Vizepräsidenten neu gewählt. 🎉 Sie werden die Arbeit des künftigen Präsidenten Professor Matthias Tschöp ab 1. Oktober 2025 unterstützen. #Neuwahlen #Hochschulrat #LMUMuenchen lmu.de/de/newsroom/ne…
Heading to EBBS? (ebbs2025.azuleon.org) Don’t miss our session (co-chaired w/Suzanne Dickson) on how physiological states shape behavior. We have a fantastic lineup of speakers (@linda_ruud, @AmeliaMDouglass, Nicolas Gutierrez-Castellanos, @neuroadept). See you in Bordeaux! 🍷
📢New preprint alert! We watch ATP, the energy currency, in tiny compartments of brain synapses to show that synapses talk to their local mitochondria to produce energy right when needed during plasticity: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Basic science is the greatest investment this country can make
A baby named KJ, who was born with a rare genetic disorder – CPS1 deficiency – is healed thanks to doctors at the @ChildrensPhila who administered the world’s first personalized gene-editing treatment. The research team used base editing, a gene-editing method invented by HHMI…
🧵1\New Preprint! Social pain, the emotional pain caused by aversive experiences with other individuals, is an umbrella term that includes experiences such as social isolation, social exclusion, social rejection, and social loss and can be used as a signal to drive a need state
Honored & grateful to receive the 2025 ECNP Neuropsychopharmacology Award!🙏 Looking forward to #ECNP2025 in Amsterdam & to sharing our work on the neurobiology of stress & anxiety! Thank you @ECNPtweets & all current and previous lab members! ecnp.eu/ena-winner2025/ #ECNP
🏆ECNP is pleased to announce the winner of the 2025 ECNP Neuropsychopharmacology Award: @carmensandi10, Switzerland, for her groundbreaking research on the #neurobiology of #stress and #anxiety. Congratulations! More info➡️ecnp.eu/ena-winner2025/ #ECNP2025 #ECNP #BrainResearch
Very grateful 🙏to have been selected for the Rise up! program from the Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation 🎉. The €600,000 in funding 💰will help advance our research into the neural circuits that drive fear, anxiety and emotional behavior @LMU_Muenchen! 🧠 lmu.de/en/newsroom/ne…
Our new paper is out in Science. What is the synaptic plasticity rule in the brain, we asked. It turns out there are multiple, even within individual neurons. Congrats Jake! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Happy to share a new publication from my postdoc days, shedding light on how distal tuft dendrites participate in hippocampal place field formation while mice learn to navigate: cell.com/neuron/fulltex… Thank you to @ZuckermanBrain Communications for the great write-up!
How does the brain create mental maps of the world? In a new @NeuroCellPress study, @JustinKOHare, Franck Polleux and @attila_losonczy reveal how branches at the farthest tips of neurons can help us remember new places. Read: zuckermaninstitute.columbia.edu/how-do-memorie… @Columbia #neuroscience
Lots of recent papers discuss the nucleus of the solitary tract in interoception. In this review, we take a sensory processing perspective on how interoceptive signals are encoded in the NTS: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Finally out! We used a translational approach to reveal a conserved role of the superior colliculus–ventral tegmental area pathway in social orienting deficits across species. @SchaerMarie @AContestabile @nadakojovic nature.com/articles/s4138…
Less than 2 weeks until the deadline! ⏱️🧪
📢🚨Postdoc Opportunity📢🚨 Join us @LMU_Muenchen to study how neural circuits 🧠 drive adaptive behavior. The lab uses state-of-the-art neuroscience technologies and offers a supportive environment 🤗! ⏳ Deadline: 15. April 2025 Learn more and apply: fens.org/careers/job-ma…

🧬A new imaging technique developed by the Liu Lab uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA & protein molecules in single cells within thick biological samples, providing a full picture of how these structures are organized inside tissues. janelia.org/news/new-metho…
I'm really excited to introduce our new paper @DulacLab on the neurobiological original of "sociality" (the need of being together), recently published in Nature (see detailed digest below). nature.com/articles/s4158…
Tomorrow we leave Frankfurt after 6 wonderful years 🤗. This is simply a great place to live and do science. I'll always be grateful for the incredible friends and memories we made here, and for the excellent training I received at @MpiBrain.
Zhou, Piatkevich et al. have engineered SomaFRCaMPi, a new soma-localized, red-shifted calcium indicator! Excited to be among the first users and to contribute proof-of-principle data in the mouse brainstem—it's fantastic! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
