Excited to see this work come out with first author Junyu Cao at UT Austin and also Gina Poe Alexander B. Herman MD, PhD and Geoffrey West Santa Fe Institute !

Drs. Rahel Nardos and Damien Fair, a married faculty duo, return to Minnesota so they can make an impact in different fields of medicine. ➡️ ow.ly/p1kx50BtHCO

Thank you Dr. Arif Hamid for speaking today in our MDT on Addiction seminar series. Your talk about striatal dopamine waves as a mechanism for spatiotemporal credit assignment was extremely interesting and informative! UMN Medical Discovery Team on Addiction

Yesterday, WIRED detailed Faculty Co-Director Joshua Blumenstock's pioneering research w/ GiveDirectly💸 supporting the gov't of Togo in targeting economic support for its most vulnerable residents. Read about it: wired.com/story/clever-s…

Yesterday I learned what my breaking point is: receiving an email for an event about life after the PhD that features 4 recent grads who secured academic jobs. I cried, I screamed, I called, I emailed, I received calls, I cried again. Depts./programs: please stop this insanity.

#Psychedelics continue to make a comeback in #mentalhealth research but we must remain circumspect about the hype. Important new study today in @nejm 6 week double blind RCT of #Psilocybin versus Escitalopram for #Depression nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

An overview from Vikaas Sohal Vikaas Sohal UC San Francisco proposes that understanding how specific cellular and synaptic loci within cortical microcircuits contribute to cortical gamma oscillations may reveal treatments for cognitive impairment. bit.ly/3qWnr0z

a bit late but finally finished the COSYNE2022 blogpost. In it: 1. some works I found particularly interesting at the main conference 2. musings on "how to conference" 3. a report about our (best!) workshop on neural timescales with Roxana Zeraati rdgao.com/blog/2022/03/2…

Beyond proud is a perfect description of how all of us felt leaving that auditorium. Congratulations DR. L.A. Busta on a terrific defense, and thank you for filling that space with your wisdom, compassion, and advocacy! 👏🏻👏🏻

Anxious people tended to explore more, viewing their environment as rapidly changing. In contrast, apathetic individuals explored less and saw changes as random check our new paper on BPCNNI 🫰sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

1/10 We need better ways to measure brain excitability in psychiatric disorders. The prefrontal cortex—key target for brain stimulation treatments—is particularly hard to assess. Our new studies tackle this with systematic mapping! bit.ly/4cjHknX &bit.ly/3PW8RCx

A huge thank you to Bill Gurley and Bill Miller! What a wonderful space for all of us at Santa Fe Institute. santafe.edu/news-center/ne…

They’re building nuclear plants to power current AI—let alone AGI. Your brain runs on just 20 watts. Clearly, brains work fundamentally differently.

Pain in the brain! check out the thread: bsky.app/profile/drdami… on the new preprint: osf.io/preprints/psya…

Check our new preprint on cortical pain targets for neuromodulation based on the "somato cognitive action network": osf.io/preprints/psya… Very much an embodied view of central pain.
