Carmen Bango and @martaceko presenting data at #usasp2024 on brain imaging signatures of pain from the @UKBIOBANK - stay tuned for a similar analysis of #a2cps data @torwager
Thermosensory predictive coding underpins an illusion of pain! Our new study reveals how perceptions of pain can emerge from the interplay between thermal sensations, expectations, and uncertainty. Check out our thread for all the details! 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
This is the final week to apply for our staff scientist position at @IRPatNIH! Join us & lead the application of state of the art neuroimaging tools & methods to our research on pain, affect, and social processing 🧠

Got FMRI data? Got QC? A 🧵about quality control tools in AFNI, including both quantitative/scriptable and qualitative/visual ones, now described here: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Fun work with @gangchen6, @AFNIman, @thanayik, @shotgunosine, C Rorden, J Rajendra, D Glen & R Reynolds!

Main thread: My first project in CANlab @torwager has finally been published in @NatureNeuro ! In this work, we aimed to take a new look at the brain mechanisms underlying emotion regulation from a slightly different perspective: nature.com/articles/s4159…
Two #fMRI studies (N=358) show that cognitive regulation of negative #emotion alters activity in the cortex, but not amygdala or other subcortical areas @Boke89707488 @Pgianaros @torwager @DartmouthPBS nature.com/articles/s4159…
The idea that environmental enrichment promotes neural plasticity is so engrained in neuroscience that the main architect of this idea, Mark Rosenzweig, is always overlooked. I suppose that is a testament to the penetrance of his work, but would be nice for folks to acknowledge.
This is going to be fun! Great meeting, great location, and a topic very close to my heart 🤩
Congratulations Vinny!!! You’re brilliant and Emory is lucky to have you monkeying around down there.

The best rejection letter I have ever read. Full of humanity, honesty, and foresight. Amazing eloquence by @GregoryRSL For what it's worth, I was rejected by @JHUBME PhD program. But as the letter says, that's not a diagnostic, just a match that wasn't made at that time.

My brilliant PhD student Nufar, whose brother is a hostage in Gaza for over 80 days. Nothing prepared me to being a mentor under such a scenario. How can we even continue research in the lab?? Please help her, help us, spread this heart-breaking humanitarian call.
We loved hosting the AFNI team at #dartmouth! Very enriching and engaging for everyone! 🙏🎸

To study how expectations & uncertainty influence feeling cool vs warm, we designed a novel probalistic thermal learning (PTL) task. 267 healthy participants heard auditory cues, predicted if the next stimulus would be cool or warm, and then rated felt cold, warm, and burning.
it is a bit understated in the thread but this dataset is MASSIVE for this area of computational neuroscience. more than 80,000 trials total.

Liat was the kindest person I've come across, and I owe so much of my growth as a PI to her. She mentored my trainees, and was a shining light in the lab. We're all devastated today, and are grateful to have had the chance to get to know her. She is truly missed.
This is the most bittersweet paper publication I've experienced. I am so proud of @liz_ayoub's exceptional work, and the support we received from @abarnettPhD & @mpmca. We learned that our colleague & friend Liat Honigman passed away today from cancer. journals.lww.com/pain/fulltext/…
@Boke89707488 @torwager @NatureNeuro Yes, exactly! I'm talking about specific areas for brain stimulation. It's fascinating how targeting the right spots can have such impactful results.
Our #A2CPS faculty’s expertise ranges from basic pain scientists to orthopedic surgeons (and much more) - and one talented artist! Here Dr. Joshua Jacobs models a tie featuring Kathleen Sluka’s @ksluka0101 art titled #PAIN
@Chencheng_Zhang @torwager @NatureNeuro I've been thinking about this for a while and am pretty excited about it. I would first recommend targeting 'reappraisal only' regions, as they are activated during regulation rather than generating negative emotion.
@Boke89707488 @torwager @NatureNeuro Congrats! What a fantastic achievement 👏 Excited to check out the new perspective on emotion regulation. (3) a largely subcortical system activated during negative emotion generation but unaffected by reappraisal. Which region is the potential best target, uni or bilateral?
@jayvanbavel This is an important point. The public hears there’s an effect, but will understandably assume it’s big. This suggests it accounts for 2% of the variability in mental health. Or a “need to treat” estimate of 11 (meaning for every 11 people using it, 1 will show a negative effect)
Social media use is linked to social anxiety (r=.14), according to a meta-analysis of 27 studies (N = 38,163) The link is stronger in studies with greater age and racial diversity, that include global data & more reliable measures of social media use tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
