Proud to serve as Guest Editor (with @ConnorHaggarty , @MayoOnTheBrain & Christelle Baunez) for the @PsychopharmEBPS Special Issue: Stress, Trauma & Cannabinoids. 14 papers bridging preclinical & human research on the ECS, PTSD & stress responsivity. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New paper from lab on VTA dopamine + GABA inputs in punishment learning nature.com/articles/s4138… TL;DR here: bsky.app/profile/philjr…

CIHR funding rate: 13.6%. Early 2000s: 30%+. Canada’s new $1.7B Impact+ program recruits talent — but without increased Tri-Council base funding, we risk further strain on an already stretched system. We’re calling for $1B over 5 years. Support here: tinyurl.com/33c5av46

Exciting opportunity for graduate students & early postdocs! The Rutgers Brain Health Institute invites you to Postdoc Peek, a two-day, 👉all-expenses-paid👈, on-campus visit on May 19–20, 2026! Apply by February 23, 2026 🔗 Learn more at: bit.ly/4bRDC7u

Hey ventral pallidum fans, our new paper shows #VP GABA neurons, known for reward, also regulate aversive motivation! Inhibiting them w/#DREADDs 🔼 active or passive defenses to threats, likely via LHb. Congrats to @ramirezneurosci & Marty Martinez! doi.org/10.1016/j.ynst…

@dr_stan @ACNPorg Sure hope there’s no DBH sauce on this sandwich, that would not be good for dopamine..

Thanks as always for your attention {cross posted at ..the good blue place}

Collectively, these results bolster a growing literature that mOFC and lOFC play distinct yet complimentary roles in the evaluation of outcomes and cues that inform the costs and benefits associated with future action. As is typical of studies of OFC function…
