Our latest findings on social behavior circuits is out: how does the brain responds to social isolation? Terrific work by @dingliu.bsky.social et al. uncovering a circuit with similar neural architecture as physiological needs (hunger, thirst, sleep..). Detailed thread soon. rdcu.be/ebo63

“Imagine all the people livin’ life in peace”… Unfortunately this will never happen - the publish in high impact journals is just too ingrained in everyone’s scientific brains. But it would be nice @infneuroendo.bsky.social @paneuroendo.bsky.social @bsneuroendo.bsky.social @sneuroendo.bsky.social

All our members already received this, but to speak more broadly: SBN condemns current attacks on members of our scientific community, on evidence-based scientific practice, and on academic research as a whole.

This is a really important consideration. Publishing is moving out of the control of the scientists and becoming money making machines. This is wrong on many levels. Journals like JNE and ENDO serve our community! 🙏🏻🍀@infneuroendo.bsky.social @bsneuroendo.bsky.social @endocrinesociety.bsky.social
