Neural ensembles that encode nocifensive mechanical and heat pain in mouse spinal cord - Nature Neuroscience Zhang et al. identify unimodal neural representations in the spinal cord of cutaneous mechanical and heat stimuli gated by a shared feed-forward local inhibitory neuron type and a neural transition du...

@patrikernfors.bsky.social and colleagues reveal the existence of a #spinal representation that forms the #neural basis of the discriminative and defensive qualities of acute #pain and under the control of a shared feed-forward #inhibition

Cancer research needs neuroscience and neuroscientists - Nature Neuroscience The nervous system can drive the initiation, growth, spread, and therapy resistance of cancer, and cancer can manipulate the nervous system in ways that further support disease progression. Tumors gro...

The nervous system and tumors can form intimate connections and influence each other. #Neuroscience approaches and knowledge can shed light on #cancer biology and treatments.

Neuronal somatic mutations are increased in multiple sclerosis lesions - Nature Neuroscience The link between neuroinflammation and the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear. Here, the authors show that in MS lesions, neuronal somatic mutations accumulate 2.5 times faster than in ...

And this year @brainprize.bsky.social goes to... Professors @michellemonje.bsky.social and Frank Winkler for their work in Cancer Neuroscience. Such an imporant and growing field of research!

Trump 2.0: an assault on science anywhere is an assault on science everywhere US President Donald Trump is taking a wrecking ball to science and to international institutions. The global research community must take a stand against these attacks.

'We at Nature denounce this assault on science. And we encourage the global research community, wherever they can, to voice their opposition' doi.org/10.1038/d415...

AstroLight allows the identification and control of #astrocyte #ensembles during #behavior. Here, the authors show features of #cue–reward association encoding by NAc #astrocytes during a cue-motivated task. Fresh from the press @natureneuro.bsky.social

Looking forward to attending #KSNeuroCancer25 @keystonesymposia.bsky.social! Reach out if you like to chat about your science with an editor of @natureneuro.bsky.social🙂

Retractions caused by honest mistakes are extremely stressful, say researchers A survey highlights the emotional toll of retractions for authors and what could be done differently.

Corrections and retractions are part of the self-correcting nature of science. The way errors in scientific research are identified and addressed. Nonetheless, a survey highlights that retractions caused by honest mistakes can take an emotional tall www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Here is our Focus Issue at #NatureNeuroscience!
I loved working on it! One of the many highlights was the highly collaborative spirit among the authors. A win for #openscience
