Obesity, low-grade inflammation, and inflammatory response to immune challenge modulate willingness to expend effort for reward: https://osf.io/xtkw7

Think you’ve got a strong stomach? 😏 What about your immune system? We, researchers @ki.se @cnrs.fr @swanseauni.bsky.social, are running a real experiment at the Disgusting Food Museum in Malmö! We are studying how your body reacts to “eww” moments — from stinky cheese to crunchy insects 🧀🐛 1/2

Enjoyed presenting our research at #PNIRS2025. Such a wonderful week in Bordeaux, full of science and friendship.

Many highlights at #PNIRS2025 but one of them was definitely dinner (at KBaroque) with the PNIRS RISING STARS (from left to right) @ryanlinnbrown.bsky.social @iriskayichat.bsky.social @estherina.bsky.social Annelise Madison @linashansson.bsky.social 🤩😍🥰 @pnirs.bsky.social

Here we go #PNIRS2025 !!! So excited !!! @pnirs.bsky.social With @linashansson.bsky.social 🤩🥰🤓

Can't wait for #PNIRS2025!! @pnirs.bsky.social I hope ('m sure!) our symposium will lead to great discussion 🤓🧠🦠🤒

Huge thank you, @linashansson.bsky.social and @julielasselin.bsky.social, for inviting me to give a talk at the Social and Immune session. Loved your talks! What a fantastic conference—where you discuss science with your friends, ski, and enjoy the magnificent snowy mountains! #posdoclife

🚨REMINDER🚨 The deadline for member-sponsored symposium proposals is only 3 weeks away (December 4, 2024)‼️ Spread the words 🙂‍↕️🙏🏼 #PNIRS2025 #PsychSciSky #Psychoneuroimmunology

We (the NIA/UCSF Stress Measurement Network) started a podcast! 🧩 The Stress Puzzle aims to promote high quality stress research & stress science literacy through nuanced conversations that pass on the current & historical context of stress research (esp to trainees & early-career researchers).

PNIRS has not failed!! As always, didn't stop a minute to learn, network, and HAVE FUN at #PNIRS2024. And the dancing tradition has been respected 😎💃✨🎶 @pnirs.bsky.social @estherina.bsky.social @linashansson.bsky.social

Wonderful talk by @estherina.bsky.social at Oral Session 2, showing that social isolation impacts cancer-related mortality among other adverse health outcomes in socially isolated rats 🔥 #PNIRS2024

Great talk by @linashansson.bsky.social at Oral Session 2, showing that sick people may be detectable by others based on walking patterns and facial cues. #PNIRS2024

Great talk yesterday by Julie Lasselin @julielasselin.bsky.social, about using experimental endotoxemia to test the effect of healthcare provider's behavior on sickness outcomes. Very creative experimental design! #PNIRS2024

PNIRS will have the first ever Poster Blitz Session at #PNIRS2024! 🔖 Each of the 12 speakers will present their latest research in just 2 mins 🥵⏱️ 📅 Tue, June 25 | 3:30-4:30 PM| 👇🏼See below for talk titles and speakers Please bookmark, highlight the speakers, repost, & spread the word!

I'm looking forward to hearing your presentation @linashansson.bsky.social and @julielasselin.bsky.social 🤩 and super excited to present mine 🌟☺️#PNIRS2024

Congrats Dr @linashansson.bsky.social !!! And with excellence (which is absolutely deserved)!! You were amazing from start to finish (not surprised 😉) Looking forward to seeing what will happen in your bright future in PNI @pnirs.bsky.social #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #interoception

On Friday, I successfully defended my thesis 🥳 I loved discussing my work with my brilliant opponent, Dr. Keely Muscatell. It was a perfect day. So grateful to my main supervisor, Dr. Julie Lasselin @julielasselin.bsky.social, for being there for my every single day during these 4 years.

📢 📢📢 Last day to submit an abstract and get the early bird rates!!!! ⏳Don't miss out! See you in six weeks! #PNIRS2024 🥂💃

Very excited to share our new paper on perception of caregivers during experimental endotoxemia. 🤒🩺 Now published in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity: doi.org/10.1016/j.bb...

CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. Jennifer Felger, the winner of this year's George Solomon Award!!! 🎊 🎉 We are looking forward to Dr. Felger's George Solomon Award Lecture at #PNIRS2024! 🧠👏🏻

Just submitted my abstract and registered for the conference!! 🙌🏼

Today - last call!! 👇 We're registered and two abstracts are in (mine and @linashansson.bsky.social's!) Come discuss with us about how caregiving affects sickness outcomes, and how sickness affects detection of sick others! @pnirs.bsky.social

Research shows breathing can change our exteroceptive & affective perception, but how? Pleased to share our latest study, led by my PhD student Malthe Brændholt w/ Daniel Kluger, where we investigated the cognitive mechanisms using computational modeling! 🧠📈 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

📢Our cool COVID-19 study is out!🎉 An app-based longitudinal study on how quality, and not quantity, of social relationships positively affects wellbeing and health!📱 www.nature.com/articles/s41... #OpenAccess

Excited to share a new paper led by the ineffable Dr. Tatum Jolink further illustrating how even acute inflammation serves to organize social cognition and behavior: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ioaq15hUd...

I'm super excited to share my freshly published article in @BBI_Health 🎉, where I elaborate on how important it is to help others, live in a supportive society and how it can improve our health through PNI mechanisms! #OpenAccess @pnirs.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.bb...

🥁 The Robert Ader New Investigator Award #PNIRS2024 goes to… 🥁🥁🥁 Dr. Luba Sominsky 🏆 Congratulations!!! 🌟🎉 Looking forward to your Award Lecture!

Here we show that the human olfactory bulb can detect metabolic state, as evidenced by its response to fasting. This method enables the use of odors to study metabolic changes in health and disease (e.g., in eating disorders). Use it! #neuroskyence  www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today the #ECNP workshop started in Nice, France and I already lost my voice from meeting so many great people! #neuroskyence My poster is also online; showing how behavioural tests help disentangling reward deficits in anhedonia and the role of metabolic hormones 🕵️ qr.codes/7oI3i0

I am registered for the PNIRS meeting in Halifax - looks like it will be a great event (as always)! There's even a boat tour 🤩 Looking forward to seeing old friends and make new ones! --> register!! www.pnirs.org/meetings @pnirs.bsky.social #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #interoception

📣#TellUsAboutYourResearch Meet Iris Chat @iriskayichat.bsky.social (x:@iriskayichat), a PhD candidate at Temple U! Iris studies how environment and stress exposure shape immune-brain communications and their implications for psychopathology, w/ a focus on anhedonia & deficits in reward processing.

📢 Calling all PNI trainees! We are happy to announce our second virtual PNIRS Spring Trainee Event, Career Path Diversity in PNI: Discussions with PIs!  Don't miss out! 👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬 pnirs.memberclicks.net/2024VirtualT...
