New preprint from our lab!
Excited to share our latest work is up on bioRxiv! Looking at capillary flow speed changes we show that psilocybin prolongs the neurovascular coupling response to a visual stimulus. 🍄🔬🧠🩸

Federal funding for scientific research is under unprecedented threat. Sigma Xi encourages graduate, post-doctoral, and faculty-level researchers to join The McClintock Letters Initiative.
Sign up and write a letter to share what your research is about, why it matters, and why science is worth investing in. The goal of the collective, started by 20+ grad groups across the U.S., is to publish over 1,000 op-eds across the country the week of June 16th.

Stalled blood flow in cortical capillaries of #Alzheimer's disease model mice is largely due to stuck #neutrophils, and reducing their adhesion rapidly increased blood flow and improved memory performance go.nature.com/2N0rtjj
