Foros: 

The lab of Marcelo Dietrich at YaleIllustration by Daniel Gnattali 2015 is seeking motivated and passionate investigators to join its research program as postdoctoral associates. The Dietrich lab aims to identify the cellular, molecular and circuit-level mechanisms that play a role in behavior by using animal models (mostly mice) as well as new and innovative tools, some of which have been developed by the lab itself, to manipulate cell function in combination with electrophysiological, biochemical, morphological and behavioral analyzes.  The lab's view is that the brain mechanisms involved in decision-making and executive functions (the set of mechanisms responsible to regulate and organize flexible goal-directed behaviors) are evolutionarily conserved and phylogenetically old. The lab recently showed that a population of hypothalamic neurons that control food intake are also involved in other behaviors.
