@JaredWYoung @PsychopharmEBPS Thanks, Jared! The OST is a very cool task, we've got a few ideas cooking for a follow-up, stay tuned!

[John Howland @JohnGHowland]

I recognize this paper! Thanks for the tweet @PsychopharmEBPS!

[@Psychopharm @PsychopharmEBPS]

New in #Psychopharm! The odor span task has been proposed as a measure of non-spatial working memory capacity, and it depends upon nucleus accumbens neurons, and D2 (not D1) neurotransmission there!

So grateful for this award and to everyone who was part of the process!!! Cheers to the squad showing up and cheering me on 😇🥳

[John Howland @JohnGHowland]

Amazing to see @talpaca13 develop this project as an idea for her comprehensive exam and then refine and polish it into this full length review with @BryanJenkinsPhD! Congratulations!!! 🍾💥👏

[Tallan Black @talpaca13]

Novel non-pharmacological interventions like Gamma Entrainment Using Sensory should be considered for cognitive symptoms in neuropsychiatric disorders like schizophrenia. From a simple brain child with @BryanJenkinsPhD to publication, I am ECSTATIC! https://t.co/7hVtZeYSR7
