Happy to be part of it and I will share latest progress in developing multicolor neuromodulator sensors for in vivo detection.
Today’s #EDRC2025 keynote speaker is Yulong Li from Peking University. His laboratory is renowned for its significant contributions to the development of fluorescent sensors for various neurotransmitters and neuropeptides used in a range of model organisms, including #Drosophila
🧠Imagine watching brain chemicals "talk" to each other in real-time! #PKU's @yulonglilab and collaborators just achieved this breakthrough with HaloDA1.0, a genetically encoded far-red dopamine sensor. Published in @ScienceMagazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #PKUResearch
We independently have similar descriptions. 😀
My new self-description: branch-lowering. Better than toolmaking, something I never really liked. "One of the deep problems we have in science is that we reward the people who pick the fruit rather than the ones who lower the branches."

I am happy to share my latest (NIH funded) work, out in @CurrentBiology! We show that task demands define the correlations between accumbal dopamine and acetylcholine, in a pattern that supports a tripartite coincidence model of striatal plasticity. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
