Excited to share a photo of our #neurofeedback team at the Australian Society for Social and Affective Neuroscience (AS4SAN) Conference 2024! #AS4SAN2024 #neuroscience Valentina Lorenzetti (she/her) Chao Suo Saampras Ganesan Anastasia Paloubis Ethan Murphy

“It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.” #OTD in 1967 Gabriel García Márquez's masterpiece of magical realism, 'One Hundred Years of Solitude', was published. Read more: bit.ly/2MWeIFm

🎉 Congrats to Emily Robinson on submitting her PhD thesis on white matter microstructure and youth cannabis use, using Diffusion-Weighted MRI from the IMAGEN study! 🌟 An incredible achievement and contribution to understanding the brain's development in youth! #PHd

!!NEW PAPER ALERT!! Ever wondered if #fMRI-neurofeedback can be used to change the #brain in #addiction? Our recent pre-print finds that it can, but more work is needed! Find the first SLR in the field here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congrats to Ph.D. candidate Amir Hossein Dakhili from @HMBRC_ACU for passing the COC!🥳 His Ph.D focuses on Characterizing and Modulating the Neurocircuitry of Cannabis Cue-Induced Craving Using Functional MRI and Real-time Neurofeedback Supervised by Valentina Lorenzetti (she/her) Chao Suo Govinda Poudel

Had a fantastic Healthy Brain and Mind Research Centre conference today. Our brilliant students & staff across the country, shared their work & learnings. On days like this I remember why I chose academia & the beautiful teamwork it entails. Many congrats Amir Hossein Dakhili for being awarded best presentation!

First time OHBM Australia & had a blast presenting my poster! Great to connect with neuroimaging pros, students, and friends from around the world.🧠✨ #neuroimaging #neuroscience #addiction #fmri #neurofeedback

Thanks team for such a fantastic 2024 retreat day with reflections on our year, mindfulness & fun activities, it is invaluable to do science with such a great bunch. Looking forward to an exciting 2025!

The HBMRC is #hiring - join our team! We're currently recruiting for a Senior Technical Officer (Full Time, Fixed Term) to join the Addiction Program Details: candidate.aurion.cloud/acu/production… Deadline: 19th March 2025 Please share with your networks or anyone who may be interested 🙏

This week the Addiction Program visited the Medically Supervised Safe Injection Rooms located in North Richmond 🏥 It was fantastic to see the world-class health service providing life-saving, compassionate healthcare and support for people who use drugs #MSIR

We recently hosted our Centre Welcome for 2025 🥳 It was a great opportunity to come together as a team and extend a warm welcome to all the new students/staff that have joined the centre 🙏 We’re looking forward to a collaborative and productive rest of the year!

🏃‍♀️Run to read our latest preprint fresh off the press🏃‍♀️ Titled: The addiction neurocircuitry during Resting-State Functional Connectivity fMRI in people with Cannabis User Disorder who tried to cut down or quit Congrats to Dr Hannah Thomson, PhD + team 🥳 🔗 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Excited to have this pre-print out in the world, been a while in the making!

It's great to see the Addiction Programs latest viewpoint led by Valentina Lorenzetti (she/her) published! It looks at the standard THC unit & discusses a tool to benchmark cannabis-related driving risks 🚗🌬️ To read the paper 👇doi.org/10.1016/j.drug… Coauthors: Tom Freeman & Amie Hayley

🚨new preprint🚨 See below the Addiction Programs latest output from the 'BrainCann' project on MedRxiv! Titled: The neurocircuitry of cue-induced cannabis craving in Cannabis Use Disorder: An fMRI study 🔗doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… Well done to all authors involved (tagged⬇️)

#JobAlert: Join our team! The AddPro team led by Prof Valentina Lorenzetti (she/her) is recruiting a Research Assistant (1-2 days p/wk) to support coordination & data analysis of the ENIGMA-Experimental Cannabinoids Consortium (ENIGMA-ECann) 📅16th May 11:59pm Pls share with your networks!

do you need #cannabis images for your experiments? check out this free open access high-res image dataset co-designed with consumers from the community who shared their products!

First #OHBM in the books! ✨ So grateful for the opportunity to present on real-time #fMRI #neurofeedback under the supervision of Valentina Lorenzetti (she/her). And the best part: Connecting with brilliant minds, collaborators, mentors, and new friends from every corner of the world.
