1/ Working on this project shifted how I think about self control, individual differences, development, equity in our science, and my heritage. I'm grateful to have been a part of it and would love to hear your thoughts. https://t.co/Iat5l9CT9Z
Interested in getting a #PhD in #neuroscience? Come learn about the University of Michigan Neuroscience Graduate Program @NGPMichigan. Virtual open houses Nov. 1st & 4th, 6:30 - 8 EDT. Students & faculty will be there to answer questions. Register here: https://t.co/tXqZiRam0X
Cutting-edge research on the vagus nerve and its relation to interoception was highlighted in this recent article in @ScienceMagazine, which featured NCCIH’s Dr. Wen Chen and NCCIH grantee @VitalyNapadow of @Harvard: https://t.co/Njpy0dQ9wB
Our shamanic state of consciousness paper is now on pubmed:

Emma Huels, during a rotation project, finds altered EEG brain activity in shamanic practitioners that differs from the psychedelic state, albeit with overlapping perceptions.
Read more about Dr. Kratz's latest research, highlighted by the @mssociety, including new information on MS pain and improving treatment strategies. https://t.co/NOHOEnLYFc
Check out our latest paper in Arthritis & Rheumatology on how the somatosensory component of acupuncture modulates S1 functional connectivity in association with insular GABA to reduce clinical pain https://t.co/zjFcRgb946 with @rick_e_harris and @VitalyNapadow
Join us for an engaging discussion about oscillations and tonic pain today - Tue, Dec 22 @ 12pm ET to discuss Nickel et al. (2019), to be presented by @__Pedram. If you aren't on the listserv yet, please fill out the form in our twitter bio.
Properties of the functional connectome, specifically NMI, are correlated with DMN and SLN connectivity in FM. Subsequent phi and community ratio analysis revealed which nodes and how that may vary in their community assignment with clinical pain intensity. 5/
Pretty excited to share my first, first author publication from my thesis work with Drs. Rick Harris (@rick_e_harris) and George Mashour examining community structure of functional brain networks in nociplastic pain. https://t.co/TqpLiYY34e 1/n
We show that FM patients have lower NMI (variable community structure) compared to HC. No differences in modularity or community number between groups. These results were replicated in a separate cohort. 4/
We have also created a Mental Health resources page and will continue to add resources: https://t.co/VOHM455i2P
We thank you for your patience as we are prioritizing our own mental health. We ask that you all do the same. Please do not hesitate to reach out when you need us ♥️
As we continue to process recent events both individually and as an organization, we want to reassure you all that we are committed to supporting you. For our Black students, we created this form so that we can do our best to support you during this time. https://t.co/iGV7kYP8E2
