Kicking off an interesting symposium on sleep and physiology: Emily Cardenas shared fascinating work on the peripartum period, showing that in women with a more reduced reward response (RewP) sleep problems were more strongly linked to depressive symptoms 💤 #2025SPR

Research by Kreshnik Burani demonstrated that individuals with Social Anxiety Disorder continue selecting the same option even while losing, showing potential deficits in learning from losses compared to healthy control participants. #2025SPR @therealspr.bsky.social

At #SPR2025 Dr. Andres Keil hosted a wonderful discussion about peer review at The Journal of Psychophysiology. One takeaway: a methods checklists submitted by authors could fast track the review process and reduce burden on reviewers. @akeil1927.bsky.social @therealspr.bsky.social
