Congratulations @nicoleprovenza.bsky.social 👏👏👏 excited to follow your work!

I’m very excited to share that I got the NOA for my first R01 to study approach-avoidance behaviors after DBS for OCD! We have an awesome team: Sameer Sheth, Wayne Goodman, Eric Storch, and Ben Hayden at BCM, and Han Yi at JHU APL. 🧠⚡️@bcmocd.bsky.social @bcmhouston.bsky.social @jhuapl.bsky.social

Chairs and vice chairs for the Psychedelics GRC

We worked so well as a team for the #GRCPsychedelics @vyazovskiy.bsky.social @viditavaidya.bsky.social @melissaherman.bsky.social

and congrats to @theborislab.bsky.social and @mikaelpalner.bsky.social, who will be the future vice-chairs!

Great panel this morning on the human and clinical studies of psychedelics -

my impression is we have come a long way in the last few years in terms of design and quantification #GRCPsychedelics

My first time at a GRC had to be #GRCPsychedelics. Drop by my poster today to talk about 5-MeO, Calcium transients and Gamma bands in the anterior insular cortex 🧠🐭

🌈🧠 The Trip Between Bedside and Bench 🌈🧠
Join us at #SfN2025 for a deep dive into cross-species research in psychedelic neuroscience!

🧬 Posters, 🎤 panels, 🔑 keynotes, 🍸 cocktails, and 🥟 tasty apps await.

Morning panel at the GRC meeting.

Good morning! An excellent panel today on the evolving theory for explaining psychedelic drug action #GRCPsychedelics

New research from #StanfordCDH's @jkim-1003.bsky.social & team analyzed 528k patient messages, developing AI to support clinicians with tailored diabetes care. AI is seen as highly useful for education and admin support, but deeper data integration is perceived as risky. go.nature.com/4jKaVKB

BIG thank you to Russ Altman @rbaltman.bsky.social for having me on to Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast to talk about Hoarding Disorder.
For those w/ loved ones who struggle w hoarding disorder, there is hope and help, including CBT therapy. @IOCDF #OCDCon

GRC Neurobiology of Psychedelics conference (July 13-18, 2025).

Can’t believe #GRCPsychedelics is happening in two weeks!

We reached capacity attendance – sorry we could not accommodate everyone. We look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting.

Feels like baby steps but they are definitely moving forward 👩🏻‍🔬

Congratulations @heatherwardmd.bsky.social and team 👏🎉👏

1. Our new @JAMAPsych publication shows that provoking symptoms before administering TMS for OCD and nicotine dependence may enhance clinical response. Read more here & tweetorial below: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

This! This the type of work that makes me so optimistic that the next 3 decades of brain research will be more impactful that the last for understanding/treating mental conditions. We finally have the right measurement tools & analyses (eg for emotion).

A fascinating study combining human and mouse data, providing insight into the potential clinical use of ketamine. A huge effort - congratulations to all involved.

New paper showcasing the incredible effort from the amazing Human Neural Circuitry (HNC) team! Beyond the great science, one can appreciate the poetic story told about human emotions. Looking forward to what's coming next!

www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It was amazing working on this with Ethan Richman, Tony Liu, @deisseroth.bsky.social, @crodriguezmdphd.bsky.social ‬, @samvesuna.bsky.social and many others. And we are very grateful for the incredible contributions of the participants who volunteered to be in the study.

Emotions are core to the human experience 😆😮🙂😊☹️😠😳😑
But how do they arise? Our brain-wide ⚡recordings in humans and mice reveal some answers @ScienceMagazine. A big team effort and debut paper from @Stanford's new Human Neural Circuitry program. bit.ly/4dEyX7Z

Incredibly appreciative of @deisseroth.bsky.social pioneering vision & honored to work alongside the amazing Human Neural Circuitry (HNC) team. Excited to share our first HNC paper @science.org illuminating conserved brain-wide emergence of emotional response from sensory experience!

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry in the service of basic discovery bsky.app/profile/deis...

Sustained in the brain: How lasting emotions arise from brief stimuli, in humans and mice Humans and mice share persistent brain-activity patterns in response to adverse sensory experience, Stanford scientists find, opening a window to our emotions and, perhaps, neuropsychiatric disorders.

Grateful to work with amazing lead authors Isaac Kauvar, Ethan Richman, & Tony Liu, and brilliant faculty of our HNC program: Carolyn Rodriguez (@crodriguezmdphd.bsky.social‬), Paul Nuyujukian, & Vivek Buch, and many others spanning hospital and laboratory. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

Ambient intelligence, human impact Health care providers struggle to catch early signals of cognitive decline. AI and computational neuroscientist Ehsan Adeli’s innovative computer vision tools may offer a solution.

Great story by Stanford Momentum about our Ambient Intelligence project.
Many thanks to @stanfordpsy.bsky.social and @stanfordhai.bsky.social for funding and supporting the research.
