[Yoni Ashar @YoniAshar]

We know that chronic back pain is driven by brain amplification of sensory input -- but we haven't known how far this amplification extends

In new work just published in Annals of Neurology, we show that people with chronic back pain also have substantial (d ~ 1.0) amplification of aversive auditory processing, and that this is
- driven by hyper-responsivitiy in auditory cortex and insula
- has overlapping mechanisms with fibromyalgia
- partially reversible with treatment (pain reprocessing therapy), including stronger mPFC responses to aversive sounds

Is this multi-sensory sensitization cause of consequence of chronic pain?

🧠Neuroimaging peeps🧠 our field is blessed with beautiful visualizations. Our preprint provides 3 tools to help move toward code-based & replicable visualization:
📗practical guide (why should I?)
📦package selector (which one?)
🏗️code template generator (how do I start?)

(1/7) After submitting my dissertation, I am happy that my main project is finally published with the great support of @C_Buchel, @BjornHoring and M. Rose @SysNeuroHamburg . We investigated agency and placebo/nocebo in the context of a Bayesian pain model. https://t.co/BXo0ONHo8D

1/Large language models like Galactica and ChatGPT can spout nonsense in a confident, authoritative tone. This overconfidence - which reflects the data they’re trained on - makes them more likely to mislead.

On Monday I was lucky enough to present my PhD project at this year's Max Planck School Day - and boy was I nervous! Even so, I had the most wonderful time - so here's a tiny thread summarizing my highlights from the day 🧵 1/3

[Alina Panzel @AlinaPanzel]

@bianca_serio97 Thanks!!

[Alina Panzel @AlinaPanzel]

@Nora_Schw Danke! 💛

[Alina Panzel @AlinaPanzel]

@DeLaporte_Lab Thank you so much - this really means a lot to me!

[Alina Panzel @AlinaPanzel]

PS: & an even bigger thank you to @MPS_cog & the School Day organization team for giving me the opportunity to present & for the wonderful support I've had throughout this very special day!

[Alina Panzel @AlinaPanzel]

My favorite part of the day, however, was all the conversations I had with wonderful students I’ve met across all cohorts. So a big thank you to everyone who came up to me - you’ve really made my day! ☀️🌻 (3/3)
