How is #pain represented? A single brain area, multiple systems or throughout the brain? Novel approach using large multi-study dataset shows multiple cortical & subcortical systems are needed to decode pain intensity Bogdan Petre tor wager &co #PLOSBiology plos.io/381mq0U

Before we travel to deep space, we need all the data we can get about how space affects human health. ISS_Research helps NASA's Human Research Program find ways to keep our crew safe & healthy. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/3zDdQQM

Here it is: Taylor Bolt used complex PCA to capture both standing and traveling wave structure in global BOLD fMRI signals. He found that a range of phenomena (FC gradients, global signal, QPPs, FC network structure) are all manifestations of three spatiotemporal patterns (1/2).

Excited to share at last a new study in Cerebral Cortex w/ Liz Losin where we used fMRI virtual medical interactions to demonstrate acute pain modulation by perceived doctor trustworthiness doi.org/10.1093/cercor…

This is Dr. Patricia Cowings, whose research helps astronauts overcome space sickness.   She was the first American woman to receive scientist astronaut training in 1978, and went on to study the psycho-physiological and biological problems astronauts experience in space. #BHM

Aside from the actual launch, this guy is definitely the star of @ESA's JUICE telecast.

...Ready for it? NASA has selected four participants to embark on the agency’s first one-year analog mission in a habitat NASA's Johnson Space Center to simulate living on Mars. Meet the crew: bit.ly/40jHWTA

sending well wishes to the first @nasa CHAPEA crew who will begin a yearlong journey to help us understand how humans can live and work together on Mars

Interesting new study in The Journal of Pain adding to our understanding of how social context influences pain. May have implications for the value of continuity of care in medical settings. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

You’re on #Mars, looking back home to #Earth. How do you feel? These simple images of the Moon orbiting Earth by European Space Agency Mars Express might be similar to what you’d see through binoculars as a human traveller to Mars 🔗esa.int/Science_Explor…

New study in PAIN Journal together with Ketan Jaltare, Laetitia Vanderijst, and Diana Torta showing that #social #support in the form of #handholding can reduce development of secondary #hyperalgesia. Nice collaboration :)
