Cursed Neuroscientist at NCSU CVM studying human depression brain circuitry and other eldritch mysteries. Obsessed with club music and pretty dark fantasy.

The debut of my new DJ project, RuseCruise1984, comes with a live mix I made that (inexpicably??) runs through 80's hits, electro, EBM, and synth-pop styles.

@swamisound @MetalGearFacts1 Remember, it’s about the creation of CONTEXT.

Fake context.

Love seeing all these NIN fans getting exposed to @boysnoize absolute producing chops with the release of
Nine Inch Noize.

Time to catch up on what you’ve been missing since like 2006 ⛓️ 🔥 ⛓️ 🔥

Recently, my JAMA Psychiatry Viewpoint officially hit the press. I wrote this with great help from my PhD boss, Dr. Santosh Mishra (NCSU), and Dr. John Davis (U. Chicago). We hope this spurs the comorbid depression conversation fires.
It might even be a preview of more to come✌️

Great easy-read article from Dana Foundation on their impact funding the cutting-edge of neurotech.
Dr. Helen Mayberg (ICahn Mount Sinai) had been bolstered with Dana funding since 1995! So cool.
Let's join Dana-funded neuro careers.

Postering today at 2-3PM (NOT Tuesday as I mistakenly mentioned earlier my bad) in the Expo Hall!!

Come by to chat about depression brain circuitry and precision circuit based therapeutics 👍🏻👍🏻 🌈 #SfN24

[🧠Dr. Ian “Cursed Cortex” McC🧠 @ianmcc06]

Civic duty completed.

Went to Havana last night after a long first day of conferencing.

Wrapped up with my first day at #SfN24 and I’ve never been happier about the fine instrument known to the music folk as kazoos. #neuroscience #neurokazoo

[🧠Dr. Ian “Cursed Cortex” McC🧠 @ianmcc06]

Officially made it to Chicago. It’s real.

[🧠Dr. Ian “Cursed Cortex” McC🧠 @ianmcc06]

Back here to announce that I'll be joining this year's #SfN24 in Chicago WITH 👏 A 👏 POSTER 🤯
Come by the Mood Disorders section Tuesday @ 2PM if you wanna talk depression neuroscience and precision circuit-based therapeutics 👍👍

[🧠Dr. Ian “Cursed Cortex” McC🧠 @ianmcc06]

@jonlovett Perfect. No notes.

Visiting Miami was a blast ‼️
Another big thanks to 2023 #worldcongressonitch for hosting
a fantastic congress back in Nov.
for me and everyone in the Mishra Lab
at NCSU 🐺🏳️🚩🏳️🚩
The weather was killer 🔪 🌴 ☀️

[🧠Dr. Ian “Cursed Cortex” McC🧠 @ianmcc06]

Bit late, but big thanks to the 2024 #worldcongressonitch back in Nov for a fantastic congress and for allowing me to give my little research blitz on
Atopic Dermatitis-generated
Comorbid Depression.
Wonderful opportunity and I met so many itch neuroscientists! #neuroscience
