Well... it's that time of year... Happy "Academic " Halloween 🎃 ! Over the years I've brought you: Reviewer#2, a Predatory-Journal, a MANEL, a Rejected Conference Receipt, and the list goes on... This year, in 2026, I bring you: "Competitive Not Discussed (CND)"

Although neurons are often categorized by brain location, a new study in mice reveals classifying VTA dopaminergic neurons by glutamate transmission can better predict their properties and role in learning and reward-motivated behavior. @CUPsychandNeuro https://t.co/1lpN3iv2hv

[Science Magazine @ScienceMagazine]

New work in @SciSignal shows that neurons in the brain’s VTA region can be classified by their associated neurotransmitters—a finding that reshapes our understanding of these cells and may inform treatments for psychiatric conditions such as addiction. https://t.co/isPvF3F8Yk

@HenryYin19 @IsabellaFallon8 Congrats to both, beautiful work. I remember recommending Bella to check out your lab several years ago :)

[Susanna Molas @Molas__S]

Please chk out the lab's newest paper, a labor of love it was. From @aluskin & @dilithium21, w/ @madisonmartin @Braininajarr @mouse_braind @GoldenNeuron @gstuber & others. We report a new road map for the LC-NE & peri-LC systems. Thx @NIMHgov @NIDAnews https://t.co/foQXjqJwon

[Sebastian Fernandez @sebneuro]

📢 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 🧠⚡

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. https://t.co/Sl0hP3l7Ac

[Lin Tian, PhD @LinTianPhD]

Excited to share my profile on @storiesofwin after a wonderful conversation with @DrNancyPadilla about my path in neuroscience & what’s ahead for our lab at @MPFNeuro!

Feeling honored to be featured alongside so many inspiring women in the field 🧠✨

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. 🙏

[Ya'el Courtney, PhD @ScienceYael]

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.
