Thank you, @doctheagrif.bsky.social‬. Yes, this work was only possible because of support from NIH.

Join us tomorrow!

Excited to share this work from my PhD! Huge thank you to the whole team!

🚨 Just published in #JNeurosci! 🚨 Our research explores how both local & widespread human brain activity contribute to risk vs. reward decision-making. 🧠 ⚖️ Check out our findings: www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... Special thanks to @sinaibrain.bsky.social and @sfnjournals.bsky.social!

📢 NEW STUDY 📢 In @naturematerials.bsky.social by @yizhoudonglab.bsky.social & @ericjnestler.bsky.social reporting new 🧠-targeting lipid nanoparticles (BLNPs) that cross the BBB to deliver mRNA to neurons and astrocytes. 🔎https://www.nature.com/articles/s41563-024-02114-5 1/3

It’s #raredisease week on Capitol Hill 🦓 🧪 If your lab works on rare disorders, please talk with the relevant foundations/advocacy groups about the #NIH cuts. Feel free to add relevant groups 👇🏼 #RareDiseaseDay @nordrare.bsky.social @ddx3x-es.bsky.social

The Brain and Body Seminar Series is back‼️On Tuesday, February 25, 10AM, JOIN #BrainBody host Dr. Abha Rajbhandari @brainbodylab.bsky.social when the #BrainBodyCenter kicks off its 2025 program w/ @columbiauniversity.bsky.social's Dr. Martin Picard. Register Here➡️ mountsinai.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

PRESS RELEASE @ericjnestler.bsky.social @yizhoudonglab.bsky.social et al. have developed a lipid nanoparticle system capable of delivering mRNA to brain via intravenous injection, a challenge that has long been limited by the protective nature of the #BloodBrainBarrier mountsinai.org/about/newsro...

NEW STUDY by Yu Hannah Hao, et al. reveals that heightened self-awareness of #Autism symptoms & lower satisfaction w/ social interactions, not observable social impairments, may drive #Depression in autistic adults. Learn More in Molecular Autism 👉 molecularautism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Congratulations Dr. Tony Aubry, @neuromanonyc.bsky.social @scottrussophd.bsky.social and team!! 🎉

Excited to JOIN the HUNGER GAMES? On Friday, Feb 21, 3pm, join hosts Drs. Teesta Naskar & @veronikakondev.bsky.social in welcoming @rockefelleruniv.bsky.social's Dr. Han Tan to #MSNSeminars when he presents "The Hunger Games: Decoding Neural & Molecular Networks for Appetite Control". NOT TO MISS!

New @pnas.org publication from the Saez lab! Graduate student Christina Maher reveals meditation-associated changes in neural oscillations in the amygdala and hippocampus of first-time meditators using iEEG: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... 🧵

The ACNP has joined forces with other brain and behavior organizations in opposition of the NIH imposed standard indirect cost rate. acnp.org/about-us/st...

The NIH’s new imposed standard indirect cost rate threatens life-saving brain & behavior research that benefits millions of Americans. SfN, with other scientific organizations,urge reversal of this policy & implore Congress to protect critical research infrastructure. Full statement: bit.ly/4jVJnCL

Is your mind under this illusion? 😳🧠 Neuroscientist and Psychologist Heather Berlin describes attention as a spotlight. 🔦 Our brains have selective attention and memory to focus only on relevant details, which may shape our idea of reality and the world. www.youtube.com/shorts/HSVlv...

“My #Depression is numbness & pain at same time.” Can #DeepBrainStimulatiion help restore this body-mind dissonance?
