The medial #PrefrontalCortex (mPFC) is a key brain area for pain sensation & #ChronicPain. This study shows that modulation of a circuit projecting from nucleus reuniens of the thalamus to mPFC improves neural & behavioral indicators of chronic pain in mice @PLOSBiology plos.io/4mpMuEj

RE neurons respond to pain-like stimuli, emotional changes, and social interaction in SNI mice. Top: Diagram of virus injection (left) and an example image (right) of GCaMP6s expression in the RE. Bottom: Heat maps of changes in GCaMP6s and eYFP signals in the RE in response to von Frey filament (vF) stimulation on the injured hind paw in SNI or sham mice.

@mick
Cool stuff, congrats!!
Were there no connections between Nucleus Reuniens and Dentate Gyrus or CA3?

I also wonder what you think of this commentary on Ito et al., 2015, by Blake Porter: blakeporterneuro.com/writing/s 👀

Really interesting preprint from researchers at on characterising activity in shared communication between the and the . I found it particularly intriguing that theta power appeared to decrease subspace dimensions and increase subspace predictability, while theta had much less of an effect. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20

Maybe I did it, somehow...

Matter is: now my #prefrontalCortex is #inControl , while my #limbicSystem is not, not anymore, and has to ask the former #whatShouldILike ...

Ravens and parrots with brains of 5–20 grams demonstrate cognitive abilities similar to those of great apes, whose brains weigh approximately 400 grams. 😮 An interesting article about why birds can support complex cognition with such small brains + a hypothesis about the minimum neurological requirements for this:

@Learning @cogneurophys some gems in there we take for granted now, but went against the grain or were simply unknown at the time. Remarkable opus. #prefrontalcortex #neuropsychology #HippocampusGurus #HippocampusHistory #neuroscience #cognitivepsych

Sneak peek at one of the projects that #prefrontalcortex is working on using #NeedleEngine

It is a research project on digital physiotherapeutic breathing therapy for #LongCovid patients using #VR technology

TikTok’s Algorithm Keeps Pushing Suicide to Vulnerable Kids

Psychologists say it’s more difficult for teens to withstand the addictive properties of algorithms, because their prefrontal cortexes, responsible for decision-making, judgment and impulse control, aren’t fully developed
