I’m very much looking forward to taking on this new role! Stayed tuned for the outstanding #BrainBody science from our world class faculty and trainees.

Please join us for this exciting talk from @Neurrriot. Dr Falkner is a rising star who’s lab is doing groundbreaking research in areas of social aggression and brain-body science.

Estradiol protects against pain-facilitated fentanyl use via suppression of opioid-evoked dopamine activity in males Higginbotham et al. show that inflammatory pain increases opioid-evoked dopamine neuron activity to promote fentanyl use selectively in males. Ovarian hormones offer females protection, but estradiol’...

New work from the lab published at @cp-neuron.bsky.social. In this study we dissect the role of hormonal regulation in pain-induced enhanced opioid intake in males.

Check out this excellent article by Peter Tarr of BBRF detailing research conducted in my lab as part of the Brain-body Research Center at Mount Sinai. Understanding brain and body connections in health and disease will usher in a new era of therapeutics discovery.

Thank you, Bita! Yes indeed NIH funding was critical for these studies, including the IDCs that covered admin and infrastructure support.

Good question, but I’m not aware of data comparing correlations between those types of violent behavior.

Thank you, Meghan!

Thanks Brian!

Thank you, Pete!

Thank you, Caro!
