Huge congrats to Dr Blake Kimmey … #GameOn 🔥🍾🙌🏼
Gonna brag on this guy and say he’s on job market this year and he can bring this kinda cutting-edge placebo / pain / addiction systems-circuit neuro research to your department: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39803541/
On behalf of my BSky-less student, Lisa Wooldridge:

"Thrilled that my PhD work is on bioRxiv! I study how central amygdala (CeA) neurons contribute to opioid effects, but how specific CeA cell types drive this process remains unclear"

Hey everybody, I want to share a few things about my recent #preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Take a break ☕ for some cool #neuroscience on #nocebo, #ACC, #PAG, and #CCK in mice to take your mind off of the goings on 👩🔬
Clue: funding sources for many labs Answer: federal grants
Me: trying to take my mind off the bad news
The NY Times crossword: no
(um *spoiler alert*)

1/ 🧠 Excited to share our new preprint:
Convergent state-control of endogenous opioid analgesia
We uncover how cognitive + contextual factors—like injury, fear, and placebo—modulate pain through dynamic opioid signaling in the periaqueductal gray (PAG)
