Researchers identify the neurons involved in the emotional distress associated with pain go.nature.com/4qIKkB8

🧠🐭💊 Check out our work on the role of Central Amygdala cell-types in opioid withdrawal ... Now published in Neuropsychopharmacology @npp-journal.bsky.social Open-access link: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

More powerful tools for understanding the brain. 🧠🔍 Today, comprehensive, cross-species developing brain cell atlases were released to help advance health and disease research. 🧵 #studyBRAIN #BICAN

Huge thanks to the NYU PRC for the invitation to speak at PRIMED! Really enjoyed meeting everyone and hearing about the outstanding science happening there. Awesome community and event!

🧠💰K99/R00 NoA day! Huge congrats to Dr Blake Kimmey … #GameOn 🔥🍾🙌🏼 Gonna brag on this guy and say he’s on job market this year and he can bring this kinda cutting-edge placebo / pain / addiction systems-circuit neuro research to your department: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39803541/

On behalf of my BSky-less student, Lisa Wooldridge: 🐭🧠💊⚡️ "Thrilled that my PhD work is on bioRxiv! I study how central amygdala (CeA) neurons contribute to opioid effects, but how specific CeA cell types drive this process remains unclear" 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Hey everybody, I want to share a few things about my recent #preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Take a break ☕ for some cool #neuroscience on #nocebo, #ACC, #PAG, and #CCK in mice to take your mind off of the goings on 👩‍🔬

Me: trying to take my mind off the bad news The NY Times crossword: no (um *spoiler alert*) ....

1/ 🧠 Excited to share our new preprint: Convergent state-control of endogenous opioid analgesia We uncover how cognitive + contextual factors—like injury, fear, and placebo—modulate pain through dynamic opioid signaling in the periaqueductal gray (PAG) biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
