For those interested in the history of psychedelic research…
I wrote a narrative piece describing studies of psychedelic effects on serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe, from late 1960s to 1980s:

Modified nitazenes, opioids 1,000 times stronger than morphine, show remarkably few adverse effects in rodents, renewing the potential of these drugs for pain relief

#JNeurosci: Galvan et al. show that most GPe neurons exhibit substantial variability in firing over minutes, calling into question whether firing patterns alone can reliably define cell types.

Huge congrats to Michael Michaelides and collaborators!
Modified nitazenes, show limited adverse effects in rodents, reopening discussions around their potential as analgesics:

With @Victor_Mathis_ , we write a News & Views: https://t.co/75SHvTabaU
@Nature
Our latest study in @Nature highlights DFNZ: a potent µ-opioid receptor superagonist that provides analgesia with minimal adverse effects. This research demonstrates significant potential for a novel class of pain therapeutics. Open to collaborations. https://t.co/qM9Ifwp464
New preprint from @yavinshaham lab.
Using FDG-PET in rats, we show that heroin self-administration and addiction vulnerability are associated with specific whole-brain metabolic alterations, without impairments in social reward processing.
Our live tissue clearing paper is out in @naturemethods! We achieved optical clearing of mammalian brain tissues without compromising normal neuronal function. Big congrats to @Shigenori774 and our wonderful collaborators! 🎉

Happy 30th birthday, Pokémon! Since 1996, the Japanese media sensation has inspired generations of researchers in fields as diverse as evolution, biodiversity and research integrity. https://t.co/xDkf4D7VyT
Last month, I published part of my PhD thesis in @NatureMedicine : Clinical genetic variation across Hispanic populations in the Mexican Biobank.

Online now: Integrative analysis of single-neuron projectomes links connectome, transcriptome, and function in the mouse cortex https://t.co/RYJmMMkg4l
🧠✨ Genetic Tools Atlas 3.0 is here!
The GTA now has an additional 750 datasets, including 80+ mouse whole-brain light sheet microscopy images as well as the first macaque datasets.

Happy to share our paper creating an atlas of the dendritic morphology of D1- and D2-MSNs and elucidating its organizational principle. Thanks to Chris Park, Ming Yan, Masood Akram, Hongwei Dong, Daniel Tward, and others. Funding from US BRAIN Initiative. https://t.co/XSXYykc3yb
Thrilled to share our latest work showing spatially segregated Ca2+ signals of NMDAR and mGluR5 have opposing effects to maintain synapse homeostasis, with implications towards rapid antidepressant action (1/3)
