Are reward responses in the human brain modulated by gut hormones?
In our systematic review & meta-analysis, we find converging evidence for enhanced reward signals by ghrelin. For GLP-1, the convergence is too low and might be dependent on the phase (anticipation vs. consummation).
Great work led by @cor_et_cerebrum @cecivez

As a #scientist I think it’s important that we debunk the popular #myths & misconceptions of our fields of research. Having recently joined #Mastodon during the great #TwitterMigration, I’ll try to recreate some of my prior threads on misleading metaphors in #scicomm of #genetics & to adapt them for this platform.
First up: contrary to what you may have heard, your genome is not a blueprint. Read on to find out why...1/6
This is one of my favorite immunopsychiatry papers I've read in a while. Currently, there is so much the disconnect between specificity of theory (e.g., phenotyping + physiometrics) and how intervention trials are designed. We need to close the gap.
The Montreal AI and Neuroscience educational workshop 2022 is over! All the material is online and will remain accessible: basics of machine learning and deep learning, intro to fMRI (with nilearn), intro to M/EEG (with MNE-python), intro to calcium imaging and electrophysiology in animals, two sessions on brain encoding and decoding as well as two keynote lectures on neuroAI. Includes slides & code, videos will follow soon. Huge thanks to the organizing team and speakers https://main-educational.github.io/material.html
And following the #TwitterMigration Now in the right server 😉 Here comes my intro! #neuroscience #neurodon #decisionneuroscience Hello everyone! I’m a 4th year PhD candidate focused on decision neuroscience, noninvasive brain stimulation #nibs and the #gutbrainaxis. My research aims at clarifying the neural underpinnings of #risktakingbehavior Check out my work AlineDantas.net and connect!
#introduction Hi everyone, just got here from Twitter. I head the Biopsychology Lab at the Psychology Department at University of Cologne.
We use computational and cognitive neuroscience approaches to better understand the mechanisms underlying decision-making and learning.
More specific issues we study include mechanisms underlying problem gambling, and everything dopamine.
So how does this work, I just click "toot"?
Can gastrointestinal hormones modulate our reward responses? @cecivez and I ventured into the available data and literature to find that
🎯 ghrelin enhances reward responses within the motivational circuit! w/ @nbkroemer

Overdue #introduction 👋
I am a #neuroscientist currently finishing an #NSF postdoc fellowship at #Caltech - starting as an Assistant Professor at #UniversityofMelbourne in 2023.
My work uses #experimental & #computational approaches with #fMRI to study the neural basis of decision making in humans. I focus on how the brain processes information related to #threat & #safety. I examine the development of these systems from #adolescence to #adulthood.
Glad to join the #neuroscience contingent!

Hi tweeps, the U-shape is ubiquitous in psychology. However, it can easily be (mis)used to explain (away) mixed findings too. What is according to you the most robust evidence for (inverted) U-shaped effects in psychology (ideally causal, manipulated within-person)? Pls RT!
I will be giving a virtual talk at the Montreal AI and Neuroscience conference on Dec 13th. Check it out here: https://www.main2022.org/
Hi! #introduction:
I'm a former #neuroscience postdoc who found herself too much of a generalist to stick to a specific research topic. I need the bigger picture! Still, I'll be forever fascinated by the 🧠 #brain, #connectomics, #neuroimaging, #neurobiology, #evolution, #cognition 🤩
I am now R&D manager at SAIA-Agrobotics.com, a #startup combining #greenhouse #horticulture, #ai and #robotics to fundamentally change greenhouse #automation 🌱🤖.

Hi Mastodon 🙋🏼♀️ I guess it‘s time for an introduction!
I’m Stina and currently working on my #PhD in #Neuroscience at Gothenburg University in Sweden. My focus: gut-brain communication in eating behavior and emotionality, specifically investigating the influence of #SexSteroids and potential #SexDifferences.
Besides, I have been communicating science on social media since 6 years now and became a docent in #ScienceCommunication about a year ago.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
#Introduction time! #NeuroscienceMigration
🎓 I'm a PhD candidate in #neuroscience at #uOttawa searching for a one-sentence explanation of what #serotonin does in the 🧠.
💻 I take a bottom-up #computational and systems neuroscience approach, creating new mathematical and software tools to link (electro)physiology and function.
Follow for papers and #python, maybe some #urbanism on the side.
I think I’m due for an #introduction! I’m an MD/PhD student at #uOttawa, doing my PhD in #neuroscience with Jean-Claude Béïque and Richard Naud. My work explores how uncertainty in reward feedback is processed in #prefrontal cortex, mainly in the context of #autism.
To do this, I use #behavior tasks in mice along with simultaneous in vivo two-photon calcium imaging. I also model #learning and #DecisionMaking using #ReinforcementLearning #RL.
Some of my other interests include patch clamp #ephys, post #stroke #synapse remodeling, #serotonin, #psychedelics and #consciousness.
Follow if you want to join me in finding and sharing interesting papers and ideas!
Hi Mastodon 👋 Jumping on the #introduction train so here is a little about me:
🏛️ PhD candidate in my 2nd year at The University of Sydney
📚 researching how to use #socialmedia for #healthcommunication to #youngpeople specifically during #publicheath #emergencies like #COVID19
🧐 fascinated by all things #science #scicomm #media #popculture
Keen to connect with other #academics doing #digitalhealth #research 📱🤝
@academicchatter @academicsunite @phdstudents
🎉New preprint together with Uta Sailer, Federica Riva, Jana Lieberz, Dan Campbell-Meiklejohn and Dirk Scheele
... demonstrating that varying #ghrelin concentrations did *not* affect #SocialReward processing 🧠🗣️
#fMRI #compliments
I am enjoying reading lots of different introductions over the last days so I will hop on the train as well and introduce myself! 👋
I am a PhD student at the #neuroscience for motivation, action, and desire lab working with @nbkroemer 🧠
I am broadly interested in #decisionmaking and in my PhD I am incorporating a metabolic perspective to understand how the #gutbrainaxis influences neural communication, motivation and effort. 🏋️♂️
Many psychiatric disorders come along with both motivational and metabolic alterations so the gut-brain perspective might help us to better understand and treat disorders like #depression #anhedonia 🎯
Mostly here for all the diverse science 💡🤩
