Uncharted Pathways at #NSNDA2025 highlights the genetic, social, and structural diversity within underrepresented populations and how this complexity must inform the way we conduct research, design interventions, and shape equitable health policy.

"Collective research is uncovering a complex picture, where adolescent Prozac exposure can shape the brain in lasting ways,” said Sergio Iñiguez, the PI behind new @UTEPLiberalArts research showing teen antidepressant use may increase pain sensitivity.

📣 UTEP student research in the news! A recent publication by Anapaula Themann, a doctoral student in the @IniguezLab, was featured in PsyPost. This research demonstrated that exposure to Prozac during adolescence increases pain sensitivity in adulthood. https://t.co/ZcmXnDWjdU

A new animal study shows that adolescent use of fluoxetine, a commonly prescribed antidepressant, may have long-lasting effects on how the brain processes pain. Female mice exposed to the drug displayed increased sensitivity to heat stimuli as adults. https://t.co/4klQQynxhT

📢 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 work from Twitter less Juan Enriquez-Traba, grad student from the lab. Juan and the team demonstrate that dopamine regulates differential aspects of reward, motivation vs reinforcement, via co-expressed D3 and D1 receptors
