IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS.
New paper out in @PNASNews. Thalamic CGRP neurons form a spinothalamic pain pathway relaying pain signal to the amygdala & insular, but not sensory cortex to encode the affective dimension of pain. Huge congrats to first author @SJ_J_Kang_24 & coauthors. shorturl.at/kFQiD
Check out this great collection of mini-reviews on GLP1 biology from Endocrine Society Journals, including my favourite - Endocrinology @TheEndoSociety academic.oup.com/endocrinesocie…
1/ 🚨 Our new paper is online in @Nature ! As its first author, I’m enthusiastic to finally share it with you all!🎉 🧠 We discovered a mechanistic link between cellular energy metabolism and the control of the need to sleep 💤 👉 nature.com/articles/s4158… @OxfordDPAG 🧵👇
We're hiring! Nature Neuroscience is hiring an Associate or Senior Editor with experience in cellular and molecular neuroscience, glia, and genomics to work in our New York or Shanghai office. Applications are due August 19. springernature.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Springer…
Really liking the recent work from the Miesenbock group linking mitochondria function to sleep pressure. (also appreciate the note in the peer review file "It would be a joy to experience this standard of reviewing more often") nature.com/articles/s4158…
Grateful for the opportunity @Hypothesisfund !
5/5 Awardee @zhang_chuchu explores how different body states (like pregnancy) may change what neurons sense & how they respond. Her work may lead to new ways to address nausea associated w/ pregnancy🤰, chemo, & infections. 🍾Congrats Dr. Zhang! @dgsomucla 🙏 #HFScout @pipethero
Don’t miss Lisa R. Beutler, MD, PhD, for her presentation, "AgRP Neurons: Key Players in the Brain's Control of Food Intake," in the symposium, “Unraveling the Complex Central Regulation of Food Intake.” @TheEndoSociety #ENDO2025 #NMatENDO. See the full schedule here:…
I’m excited to announce my new book FOOD INTELLIGENCE coauthored with brilliant journalist @juliaoftoronto! Cutting through the confusion about diet & health, #FoodIntelligence describes the fascinating science of how food both nourishes and harms us. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/671334/f……
Many moons ago, @KevinH_PhD and I talked about a book we both wished existed. No fads, no weight loss hacks—just the nutrition and metabolism science. I’m thrilled to announce that we wrote it! Out September 23 @Avery_Books & available now for pre-order. penguinrandomhouse.com/books/671334/f…
Thanks for the great write-up Tarun news-medical.net/news/20250616/…
What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope! Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals. Read the paper here: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… (1/9)
Here’s my book. If you’re teaching physiology, anthropology, or sports science this fall and want something that covers the science of the human body and the related social issues, consider adding it to your reading list. amazon.com/Adaptable-Uniq…
Excited to share that our collaboration w/ @FrancescaCirulli and her team is online at @molpsychiatry (@NaturePortfolio ). It's been a stimulating time getting to exchange ideas about the role of nutrition in early brain development! rdcu.be/evPEB
Studies in rats reveal one-third of CagriSema’s #weightloss efficacy arises from an effect on energy expenditure, the blunting of metabolic adaptation, which contributes to the successful treatment of #obesity nature.com/articles/s4225… @NatMetabolism
Preliminary program out now- GRC on Neuroscience of Social Behavior- March 2026! More talks chosen from the abstracts. Mark your calendars grc.org/the-neuroscien…
Stress or negative affect-encoding CRF neurons specifically distinguish post-ingestive glucose from the small intestine!

A new study in mice uncovers a stress-sensing circuit that interacts with light to influence circadian outputs. The work offers a roadmap for exploring the circuits linking light, circadian/sleep, and stress-related psychiatric disorders. scim.ag/4kV9GcA
A little interview with yours truly for @GenomicPress #Psychedelics @MonashBDI @aedrtc genomicpress.kglmeridian.com/view/journals/…
