An utterly bleak picture of the future of academic science in America

Incubated craving of cocaine or sucrose in 🐀 depends on NMDAR and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II signaling in the prelimbic cortex, with cocaine craving specifically associated with increased kinase activity

My friends often joke about how complex my neuroimaging research sounds—and let's be honest, we scientists do have a habit of making things complicated! But recently, I had the opportunity to contribute to a study that is refreshingly straightforward.
