Please consider applying! It was one of the best decisions I've ever made, and I learned so much from the position. Feel free to reach out or DM me with questions!
Don’t forget – you have just under 2 weeks left to apply to be our 2025 @npp_journal Editorial Intern – applications are due August 30! ⌛️
See below to learn more about our previous Editorial Interns, their Special Projects, & what else they gained during their internship👇

Precision mapping of a gut-brain circuit w/ functional impact.
Glands in the small intestine (Brunner's) have GLP-1 receptors, are stress-sensitive, connect to the brain via the vagal nerve, modulate bacterial species in the gut microbiome, and regulate immunity

Article alert! @valeritweety et al. used smartphones to sense social connectivity & loneliness in people w/ severe mental illness.
The number of important contacts a person communicates with is a promising marker to capture subjects perceived loneliness:

Got a thank you card today for a guest lecture I gave to @McLeanHospital MMRSP students, signed by the students themselves and it made my week :) What a lovely gesture. Thank you to the organizers and to @josie_mcgowan again for the invite!

Synaptic pruning - a fascinating process in the 🧠 and a great example of the intricate relationship between #neurons and #microglia! Strengthening circuits and removing redundant synapses: underdo it and you can have autism; overdo it and you can develop schizophrenia. #Science

When we delete the MC4R from these neurons, male mice gain a remarkable amount of weight, which seems to be due to hyperphagia, an effect only seen previously in MC4R based knockouts from the hypothalamus
SPARED Center at McLean Hospital retweeted
These neurons show increased firing rate in response to application of the MC4R specific agonist, THIQ, meaning there is likely some native peptidergic activity at play
SPARED Center at McLean Hospital retweeted
In it we show there is a novel population of MC4R neurons in the infralimbic cortex that co-express the subcritical glutamate transporter, vGlut2

A new study supported by @NIMHgov and the @NIH BRAIN Initiative reveals a precise order in how neuronal activity unfolds in the brain. The findings may make it possible to identify brain changes that are early markers of mental disorders. #studyBRAIN nimh.nih.gov/news/science-ne…
