According to new research in #eNeuro, @AnnaLiley et al. found the lateral orbitofrontal cortex & basolateral amygdala regulate the discounting of delayed punishment, suggesting these regions may be targets to improve decision-making in psychopathology eneuro.org/lookup/DOI/10.152…

Replying to @NYTScience
@NYTScience recently asked “whether all perception is, fundamentally, an illusion” after @BrunoLaeng lab showed illusions of brightness cause the pupil to constrict in humans (cutt.ly/tLI7DpT). Now, we show this in rats! cutt.ly/OLI72EW

My heart is heavy. Because of the kind of work I do, I have supervised cases where kids shot guns or kids were shot more than once in the last…let’s say month. This is no way to live, as a country. I also postdoced at one of the places where Uvalde victims were treated. 💔
