New paper alert šš„³š§ : Your motor cortex isn't just moving your bodyā¦ it's quietly telling your brain how to feel about it.
We found a circuit in which physical struggle under stress translates into a brake on negative affect. š§µ

Happy #MicroscopyMonday! Our Head of Innovation Hsuan Lee shared these photos from Peter Sorger's lab (@Harvard_Lab), where we just installed our first #DALISPIM open-top light sheet microscope. Stay tuned for another exciting announcement later this week!

Not sure who is still out there but we're proud of this work led by @lodder_bart that (1) propose a new method to turn intensity sensors into lifetime sensors and (2) applies it to GCAMP8m to make an excellent lifetime Ca sensor.

I am not normally an alarmist, but these are not normal times. This change would cripple research infrastructure at hundreds of US institutions, and threatens to end our global superiority in scientific research.

And what did the taxpayer get?
Watching flies mate led to the sterile insect technique, eradicating the screwworm fly from North America, saving the livestock industry over $20 billion and reducing beef prices by 5%.

Since we're talking about funding of absurd research by NIH and other federal agencies, the funded scientists:
- watching flies fuck
- giving rats massages
- spending years digging into why jellyfish glow
- tracking penguin poop from space
- using horseshoe crab blood

26 years after Larry Swanson emphasized āthe amygdala is neither a structural or functional unitā we used sn-RNAseq to answer the question:
āWhat is the [primate] amygdala?ā

A š§µ about women applying for things.
Weāve run a postdoc seminar series for the past few years. Our selection is entirely anonymized. We read only the research statements. No CVās, no names, no lab references. But when all was revealed this year, 8/10 finalists were male.

Klaus Miczek was a giant of Psychopharmacology: the field and the journal. R.I.P.
Here's an interview from 2022. He covers his transformative impact on the journal, evolution of the field, @PsychopharmEBPS v @npp_journal, writing/editing success, & more.

So for those of you interested in what it was that I took issue with in Hubermans first cannabis podcast, this is the Coles notes of the errors/inaccuracies that I noted. A lot of this is covered in the new episode, but some wont make it through and for others this is the TLDR
New Huberman Lab podcast out now:
CANNABIS: EFFECTS ON HEALTH & RISKS w/guest @canna_brain
ā¢THC, CBD Biology
ā¢Cannabis & Psychosis
ā¢Is THC addictive?
ā¢Are Strain Differences Real or Placebo?
ā¢Appetite, Hormones
