📢 New paper : Amygdala hyperactivity is a hallmark of anxiety, but how it happens remains a mystery. Using a mouse model of social stress, we uncovered key mechanisms behind this shift. Amazing collaborators in Bordeaux, Baltimore, and Buenos Aires 🧠⚡ biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-…

Excited to share our single-cell study on aging mouse brain published in Nature today! We found an aging hotspot in specific hypothalamic cell types involved in energy homeostasis, which show both decreased neuronal function and increased immune responses. doi.org/10.1038/s41586…

13 years ago, I was dying from OUD. The 12 steps saved my life, without any need for a belief in god. I learned a way of living that provided freedom from my addiction and the prison of emotional entanglement. If you’re struggling, my DMs are always open. 🙏

It is more important than ever to spend time talking to people about science. Communicate its value, and its objectivity. Talk to your neighbors, your bartenders, your barbers, your congressmen. Talk kindly to people whose political views differ from yours. Protect science.

Does Drug Intake Despite Adverse Consequences Really Measure Compulsivity? There’s a big debate in addiction research: is drug use despite adverse consequences (like punishment) a standalone measure of compulsive behavior, or just part of a larger addiction profile? This new study from the lab suggests it’s the latter — tightly connected to other addiction behaviors. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… @eLife @UCSDHealth @PsychiatryUcsd @UCSDPharmacy
