Not shocking, but important: nociceptors fire → glutamate is released — with or without neuropeptides like SP or CGRP. This paper pushes the field past the idea that pain = peripheral neuropeptide release. Time to stop oversimplifying pain circuits and behaviors to single-molecule targets

Overdose deaths are declining, but not for everyone. To prevent future deaths & end current disparities we must expand on what works: treating addiction & overdose like public health issues, not criminal problems. Read

There's a potential problem lurking in
#psychedelic
#neuroscience
- fMRI (one of the most popular imaging modalities) relies on measures of blood oxygenation, and a little-known side effect of psychedelics is massive changes to cerebral bloodflow.

The potential problem lurking in psychedelic neuroscience.
Neuroscience's most popular tool for studying the psychedelic state may be fundamentally flawed.
