Out today @NeuroCellPress ! Modulation of serotonin release by dynorphin mediates social deficits during opioid withdrawal Big congrats to first author Matt Pomrenze @mCherryGarcia who has taught me so much about neuropeptides along the way 🎉 LINK -> https://t.co/uvGoK1gho2

WOW! 'Network cartography analyses indicated that 5-HT2A receptor-rich higher-order functional networks became more functionally interconnected and flexible after psilocybin treatment. ' https://t.co/cWAXLrleiY

Nature Medicine - The antidepressant response to psilocybin in individuals with treatment-resistant depression is distinct from escitalopram and depends on a global increase in brain network...

"Balancing emotions for group-aggression with cold reason is key over the next days and, possibly, years". #StandWithUkraine
The rage & fear you feel after the Russian invasion are ancient parts of your mind preparing - like clockwork - for a world of conflict. After 10 years of research in the lab & field, it is surreal to feel it unfold in my own mind A 🧵 on what happens & with what effects (1/16)

On neuroscience hype: "So although we readily attribute people’s actions to their thoughts, deep down, this effect of mind on matter is unsettling. But brain-based explanations alleviate this tension."
After I presented what I do at the retreat of the new group leaders, the manager of the program I was part of nicely told me: "behavior without brain is bullshit" this paper very nicely covers the origins of this (annoying) epistemological bias https://t.co/MBn5OIdE14

Release of #opioid peptide in the brain leads food-deprived mice to eat more sugar than do mice that are well fed. Read more in this excellent N&V by @lola_welsch and Brigitte Kieffer (For subscribers) https://t.co/2r12FF066y

And to the original paper (with an entertaining thread in bonus):
At last, I can announce that my primary project from the last 5 years is finally published! Follow along for a brief thread on what I have been up to!

If you feel like having a taste of endogenous opioids, before reading the full story of @FlanBrain and colleagues have a look at our comments in @NatureNV
Special thanks also to @lola_welsch and Brigitte Kiefer for their commentary on @FlanBrain and the lab's findings. https://t.co/723R7ZOnXm Always appreciative of other's insights and feedback. @NIDAnews @UWPharmacology @UWAnesthPainMed #opioids

OK. I'll say it. What are we to conclude from the all male @NobelPrize awards in #STEM these past two weeks? 1st. I'm sure the winners were all deserving. There's nothing to take away from them, and that is not my intention. 1/12

Come work with us ! Position for a junior investigator with starting package and fun 😊
Great opportunity for a young investigator working on the neurobiology of reward/aversion processing and addiction 👇👇👇👇👇: https://t.co/5tVxF30X8s Please RT!

63 studies: women who assert their ideas, make direct requests, and advocate for themselves are liked less. They're also less likely to get hired—and it hasn't improved over time. It's 2021. When will we stop punishing dominant women for violating outdated gender stereotypes?

Literally everyyything... 🤩 I just reached another level of excitement !
Well it is official, I am now part of the Biorxiv community! Take a peek at what I have been working on during my postdoc with @mbruchas ! It is all about endogenous opioids, motivation, and some new peptide-oriented tech. This paper has *everythinnggggg* https://t.co/LJVnPKsyUW

We increasingly vote out of rejection of one's group rather than adhesion to ideas ... Among 9 Western democracies, sectarianism is particularly rising in USA, Switzerland, Canada and New Zealand. Pretty sure France is following the trend, any political scientists here?
Out-party hate is now a more powerful predictor of voting than in-party love. Our new paper in @ScienceMagazine describes how othering, aversion & moralization fuel the rise of "Political Sectarianism" in America https://t.co/xvJG9lSQT2 Led by @EliJFinkel & James Druckman
