Launching scienceofplacebo.org: a living bibliography of placebo and nocebo research. New papers screened & tagged daily by design, population, outcome and findings, with a searchable database (currently about 5,000 papers), an interactive researcher map, events, news and discussion.

Like a stadium full of sports fans doing the wave, neurons coordinate their electrical signals in rhythmic patterns that sweep across the cortex, the brain’s outermost layer.
Recent studies in humans and animals have shown these patterns, called traveling waves, can take on complex shapes, among them a rotating spiral that has been observed during deep sleep, memory retrieval, and other brain processes.
Now, a study has captured the fast-spinning waves spanning whole brains, offering clues to how they’re organized and what they might do.

New paper by ACNL alumni Kate Damme in JAMA Pediatrics explains how the timing of stressful events relative to neurodevelopment can help identify risk factors (looking backward) and predict future psychopathology (looking forward) at the individual level! jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Now out in @NatureNeuro
What happens to the brain’s body map when a body-part is removed?
Scanning patients before and up to 5 yrs after undergoing an arm amputation, we discovered the brain’s body map is strikingly preserved despite amputation

Congratulations to our Human Neural Circuitry team; bit.ly/4dEyX7Z publishes today in Science! This was the hardest challenge of my career, but one of the most rewarding, after years of rebuilding– & for myself, expanding my inpatient neuropsychiatry work to the service of basic discovery:

I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with the amazing lead authors Isaac Kauvar @ikauvar, Ethan Richman, and Tony Liu @liutony66, and with equally brilliant faculty colleagues in our HNC program: Carolyn Rodriguez @CRodriguezMDPhD, Paul Nuyujukian, and Vivek Buch @VivekBuchMD, along with many other key collaborators spanning hospital and laboratory. xitter.cf/KarlDeisseroth/status/…
The next gen of HNC is already on the way! Left to right: @SamVesuna (MD PhD psychiatry resident), @ikauvar (PhD neuroengineer), @chibyanada (program manager extraordinaire), & @liutony66 (bioengineering PhD student). New/improved in all ways, with better album cover picture too.
