our ENIGMA-neuroendocrinology intro is in press! thanks to the whole team, especially Carina Heller, Ph.D. @carinaheller.bsky.social for taking the lead and Nature Mental Health for publishing 🧠 interested in neuroendocrinology? you are invited to join! ESPECIALLY people from underrepresented regions...

Out Nature Neuroscience: Network localization of brain stim targets for PTSD. TLDR: Lesions connected to this circuit REDUCE risk of PTSD in Vets. Also tested with fMRI and TMS. Free link: rdcu.be/dUVTY With Michael Fox Noah S Philip MD David Carreon MD Amanda Arulpragasam Morey Lab

Last year, when navigating #gradschool applications, I relied greatly on advice from mentors, friends, and online resources. I wrote down their many helpful insights, and I hope they can help anyone else applying to #PhD programs. mapostol.medium.com/advice-for-app…

please give it a read and share!

Tuesday is nearly over, but don't miss what's new #ThisWeekInNPP See below for the latest on TMS for🚬craving, a novel🐀model of mutual social interaction, NAcc translatome changes from cocaine, inflammation & reward, &🧠changes & cognitive function in bipolar disorder ⤵️

When assessing the impact of rTMS on cigarette craving and withdrawal, which target do you think produces the best outcomes - dorsolateral PFC, superior frontal gyrus, or posterior parietal cortex? Find out in this new NPP paper from Peterson & team nature.com/articles/s4138…

1. Our new JAMA Psychiatry publication shows that provoking symptoms before administering rTMS for OCD and nicotine dependence may enhance clinical response. Read more here & tweetorial below: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

📢A lab’s 1st baby-step is always memorable! First #iEEG evidence that #DLPFC #TMS🧲 evokes responses in #sgACC now out Brain Stimulation: bit.ly/4mX07ei Huge thanks to University of Iowa Neurosurgery Aaron Boes Nick Trapp Xianqing Liu Corey Keller UI Stead Family Department of Pediatrics Iowa Neuroscience Institute National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) 💛🖤❤️

🧠 We treat depression with TMS, but don't understand how it works. Our team tracked brain changes during Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy (SNT) and found treatment reduced brain excitability by 40%, with predictive changes by day 3. Progress moving from guesswork to precision

Powerful nonreplication of the sgACC-DLPFC story for TMS, from none other than the originators. First, hats off for academic rigor for Michael Fox Shan Siddiqi @shansiddiqi.bsky.social and team. Second, my thoughts below. rdcu.be/eCgXd

we are currently recruiting participants!

Hot off the press! Our new paper in @BrainStimJ shows how 10 Hz r(T)MS induces synaptic plasticity via coordinated pre- & postsynaptic activation and BDNF/TrkB signaling. STDP modeling predicts frequency dependence. Kudos to Christos Galanis & the team! brainstimjrnl.com/article/S1935-…

Upcoming event next week in #Westwood #LosAngeles #LA

Come by today from 11:30-1:30! #StandUpForUC #ResearchPowersProgress
