Yttri Lab
Interrogating the functional interactions of motor and decision circuits that lead to behavior

- Hot off the @nature.com press!! Our A-SOiD behavior library developed specifically for pain to quantify a new chemogenetic gene therapy that targets opioid circuit in ACC without addictive properties @flybottleescape.bsky.social @cmu-neuroscience.bsky.social @cmu.edu www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- I'll let Greg do the tweetprint, but he was incredible, leading a Phenomenal interdisciplinary team effort It's open source too! As part of the paper, you can build your own behavior rig with full analysis software for a tenth the price of commercial. Pls inquire if interested
- So proud of @mattgeramita.bsky.social and this stellar work on striatal dynamics, decisions, and impulsivity. Really pertinent for thinking about probabilistic vs deterministic frameworks too And yes the song by @ahmarilab.bsky.social is absolutely worth listening to!
- I hope this new-ish paper will challenge people to think about the interpretations of our models STRIATUM SUPPORTS REINFORCEMENT AND NOT ACTION SELECTION (!!!) tinyurl.com/HodgeAndYttri @cmuscience.bsky.social @cmu-neuroscience.bsky.social #neuroskyence
- Moving beyond the provocative title... Ideas about striatal activity often lump pro-movement and pro-reinforcement findings together. More is more. But what if you must learn to pause and move slowly, like a lion stalking its prey? The motor valence is orthogonal to the learning

- In an effort to bring #neuroskyence to @bsky.app I wanted to share our recent paper in Neuron tinyurl.com/LesionsOfM1 @markolas.bsky.social and I asked what forelimb M1 contributes to striatal and behavioral dynamics using joystick tasks and CFA lesions @cmuscience.bsky.social @the-cnbc.bsky.social
