[Dr. Daniel Castro @FlanBrain]

First Castro Lab paper, brought to you by the hard work of Dr. Kathryn Braden @katybraden In this manuscript we investigate the role of endogenous enkephalin or dorsal raphe nucleus. We find that it is incredibly important for buffering negative affect 😱 https://t.co/b26BBDUcqi
