Challenge of the day: trying to take in all the amazing science that ACNP is offering at the Phoenix meeting, while keeping track of the stunning developments in Syria, my native country…

From my cousin in Aleppo: “We are so used to fear. We have been living with it for so long. We don’t know if we can get rid of it even if things do get better.” I really hope humanity can get to a point where we don’t do that to millions of people…

So cool to see this wonderful body of work, with some of my favorite molecular and neural players… opioids, PAG, etc. So happy when early hypotheses hold up and are enhanced, broadened and better explained with new technologies and great science! 🙏👏👏👏👏

Floyd Bloom was a giant and an inspiration. He was also a good man to his very core. One of my heroes who became a friend, May he rest in light.

🧠🧬We still don’t know how antidepressants *actually* work. Why does depression respond to treatments as diverse as SSRIs, TCAs, ECT, TMS, tianeptine, and ketamine? What do these treatments have in common? (hint: not serotonin) See our new preprint! doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

🧠🧬 What does sleep deprivation do to the brain? See our new preprint!
