Happy to share my latest paper! Investigating age-related apathy, we found behavioural changes in aged rats that contrasted with findings in aged mice! We find interesting changes in cognitive flexibility, but only from outside the operant box… sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our latest paper on how rapid acting antidepressants modulate affective biases in rats 🐀 Excited to share this work because of its importance! Several years of hard work with many amazing lab colleagues! Super proud🤩@psychopharmbris science.org/doi/10.1126/scit….
Rapid-acting antidepressant drugs modulate affective bias in rats

Rapid-acting antidepressant drugs modulate affective bias in rats

Neuropsychological effects of rapid-acting antidepressants may explain both the acute and prolonged effects of a single drug dose in rats.

Excited to share a preprint of our new mouse behavioural task! @CateMarangoni @FwtXeni biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. With minimal training time and no physiological deprivation, we can measure the motivational state of mice by assessing their natural foraging behaviour.

Motivational disorders such as apathy syndrome are highly prevalent across neurological disorders but do not yet have an agreed treatment approach. The use of translational behavioural models can...
