Expectations impact pain perception. The role of expectations on the development of mechanical hypersensitivity is poorly characterized. Here we compared a placebo, nocebo and control group measuring behavior and ERPs, finding effects on behavioral outcomes, but not ERPs.
Original: Ketan Prafull Jaltare, Dr. @meyers_elke & Dr. @DianaTorta provide preliminary evidence that both expectations and fear impact the development of mechanical secondary hypersensitivity

One of my PhD babies. 🫢👶🏻
Despite ongoing and interesting discussions on (central) sensitization (thanks @DianaTorta for the tweet, enjoyed the review by Velasco! 📖), we think that psychophysics can be useful to identify signs of sensitization.
Do you agree? Take a look ⬇️
Now on #PainReports: “Indication for spinal sensitization in chronic low back pain: mechanical hyperalgesia adjacent to but not within the most painful body area” by @LauraSirucek et al. bit.ly/3YvzfZ9
Thank you @IASPpain for highlighting our paper! And yes, please, X/witter community, check it out! VR is both fun and useful!
Check out articles like “The effects of virtual reality neuroscience-based therapy on clinical and neuroimaging outcomes in patients with chronic back pain: a randomized clinical trial” by @martaceko et al. in #PAIN bit.ly/4cVu74t

woohoo!
Main thread:
My first project in CANlab @torwager has finally been published in @NatureNeuro ! In this work, we aimed to take a new look at the brain mechanisms underlying emotion regulation from a slightly different perspective:

@MDRSupdates last week. We participated in a full astronaut mission simulation to explore the physical and psychological challenges that astronauts face. We also got to test our neurophysiological sensors in the field!

Paper alert 🚨🗞️! IBG grad student @LydiaRader and faculty @Na_Friedman examine the theory that smoking causes pain chronification via strengthening of reward pathway connectivity in the brain. They do not find a mediation association but instead that the association is genetic
Marta Čeko retweeted
New study out, lead by @LydiaRader, where we show a shared genetic link between smoking and chronic pain.

Pain patients disproportionately smoke. Petre, Torbey, et al. 2015 HBM attributed this to shared striatal reward circuits without elaboration. 1/🧵

I've just projected the HCP Multimodal Parcellation (MMP, Glasser et al. 2016) to 2 popular stereotactic spaces (FSL's and fMRIprep's defaults) using registration fusion, the gold standard. This may be the best volumetric cortical atlas publicly available. doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.…

Definitely not the only one!
Academia is hard and is nonstop having an anxiety attacks by thinking that I am not good&competitive enough 😔 I am exhausted but at the same time freaking out not to stay in. Am I the only one who have consistently having these thoughts?

What is the brain basis of pleasure in humans? I’m excited to share work from my group at @EmoryPsychology with collaborators @TReAD_Lab, @DiegoPizzagalli, @RoeeAdmon combining predictive modeling and neuroimaging to shed light on this question. rdcu.be/dfGua 1/4

Introducing BrainGPT.org, a large language model (LLM) to assist neuroscience research. BrainGPT is trained on the vast neuroscience literature and can be used to optimize study design, detect anomalous results, and evaluate models against broad data patterns. (1/3)

ChatGPT has changed the world.
It does lack in some areas, but my favorite use case is leveraging it to teach me things twice as fast.
Here are the 10 best prompts to learn anything faster:

Wenn Babys schlecht drauf sind, ist klar, dass sie manchmal einfach Schlaf brauchen, Nähe oder etwas zu essen. Als Erwachsene halten wir uns für viel komplexer.
Seit meiner letzten Recherche vermute ich: Oft überschätzen wir unsere Gefühle.
