Having an awesome ISBRA meeting here in Melbourne. We had a really fun panel on neuronal and glial consequences of drug use. Many thanks to @ISBRAComm and @RobynBrownLab. Fantastic talks from @KateReissner, Xavier Maddern, and @morganjameslab,
Application to present at the Second Italian Glia Network Symposium is closing next week. Apply your abstract by Oct 10!!! Do not miss the opportunity to discuss your research in a young and informal community !!!

Excited to share our development of a novel model of TMD pain lead by @daspainbrain with @andpru! Developing a model of temporomandibular disorder in the common marmoset using nerve growth factor https://t.co/G1SzjunWbh
Really interesting papers, confirming and extending what many believed true for a while. The last 20 years gave us the illusion of super hyper specialization of brain regions thanks to opto/chemogenetics. Turns out we were just under a lamppost. We're in a "neo-Lashley" era. Brain functions are mostly spread out throughout the brain, not in one spot. If you’re not already looking elsewhere than under the lamppost, you should.
Happy to share my students’ study

"Dopamine was associated with reward learning or sensitivity (SMD, 0.26), and reward vigor (SMD, 0.32). By contrast, serotonin was associated with punishment learning or sensitivity (SMD), and aversive pavlovian processes (within-participant studies only; SMD, 0.36)."
📣 NEW: Breakthrough discovery of a genetic link to pain co-led by NDCN's Prof David Bennett and Prof Simon Newstead @BiochemOxford
The results of the research, published in @Nature, could lead to a promising new target for the treatment of #chronicpain.
📈 New data from NIH-supported Monitoring the Future study at @UMich shows increases in nicotine pouch, cannabis, vaping, & psychedelic use among adults.
Monitoring these trends is vital to set smart public health priorities.

🚨 First paper from the Bocchi lab out now in @NatureComms!
We show that astrocytes in the cortex arise from not one, but two distinct progenitor lineages, each giving rise to specialized subtypes with distinct roles.
