I write about the neuroscience of being fully human: brain rhythms, mental health, embodiment, and what it actually takes to thrive. Follow @FlavioFrohlich if that's the conversation you want more of.

You are not a processor running on meat. You are a rhythmic, relational, embodied being whose brain evolved for connection, movement, and meaning ... not optimization! Act accordingly.

We are more than biological LLMs. AI processes tokens. You process life through a body that breathes, moves, aches, and desires. We've built a culture that celebrates the brain and shames everything below the neck. For many of us, this is a deep source of pain and confusion. 🧵

🧠🧵 THREAD: What acetylcholine & norepinephrine teach us about learning, growth, and change This year, the @FrohlichLab turns 15. 🎉 Over that time, we’ve published 100+ papers on brain dynamics, neuromodulation, and neurotechnology. In this thread, I want to offer something different: 👉 a fresh, unifying, and slightly provocative perspective, starting with our first paper Here’s what we learned ↓

Fifteen years after demonstrating the power of low-amplitude endogenous electric fields on a neural network in a dish, I am excited to introduce tECS - fabulous work with star postdoc @SteinAthena in the @FrohlichLab @UNCPsychiatry - huge thank you to @BBRFoundation

Leading up to my 15 year anniversary at UNC next year, I decided to share with you our scientific journey from neuronal mechanisms to novel treatments in the @FrohlichLab

Excited to have three clinical trials for depression and anxiety in our @NeuroStimCtr @UNCPsychiatry currently enrolling participants. carolinaneurostimulation.org…

An epic journey, in infinite gratitude to my mentors, colleagues, and trainees at the @NeuroStimCtr @FrohlichLab @UNC_SOM @UNCPsychiatry @PulvinarNeuro PS New study coming soon - stay tuned for more info.
