Excited to share our new paper published today in @NatureComms! Vagal sensory neurons encode immune information in the form of specific neural activity patterns. This enables real-time communication of immune signals from the body to the brain. https://t.co/kq0SfIkEWM

Times like these bring the greatest joys from a scientific quest. At @NorthwellHealth's #ConstellationForum, I reconnected with Kelly Owens. Once a patient suffering from Crohn's Disease, today she has a new identity: a thriving, creative, healthy guitar-building artist, thanks

We increasingly understand obesity as a brain-based disease. This review by Zagmutt et al., 2025 maps how subtle inflammation in the hypothalamus evolves over time offering a clearer picture of when and how metabolic regulation begins to fail. 1/5

"multi-year funding and budget freezes caused record-low approval rates for grant applications. Some NIH institutes now fund only the top 4 % of applications — down from 9 % in 2024... As success rates plummeted, reviewers favored safer, incremental projects"
!!!!! NIH races to spend its 2025 grant money — But fewer projects win funding !!!!! Funding and projects “Playing Catch-Up”: Shows that spending lagged sharply early in FY 2025 but surged after July when multi-year funding began, enabling NIH to reach 100 % budget execution.

Applying new tools to entire brains, starting with C. elegans, offers the opportunity to uncover how molecules work together to generate neural physiology, and how neurons generate behavior, write @eboyden3 and @koerding. https://t.co/TMjnGwbAPh

A new @Nature study co-led by Ann Kennedy (@Antihebbiann) finds that the brain’s parabrachial nucleus can block persistent pain when urgent needs (like hunger or fear) take over. Understanding this “off switch” could guide smarter, brain-based therapies for chronic pain—working

A salient and timely piece on the importance of communicating science to the public!
Very grateful to my co-authors for bringing their wisdom and courage to this conversation and to @NatureNeuro for publishing our opinion piece. We--the scientific community--have a lot of work to do to rebuild trust with the public.
