NEW ARTICLE ALERT ‼️ proud to share that my first-first author paper is now out in @SfNJournals and has been selected as a featured article. Read on for a breakdown of our findings🧵:
Think that the #brain contains circuits for "fight and flight"? Think again. Congratulations to @AlexFischbach_ et. al on a careful and groundbreaking study. @AffectiveSciLab #Neuroscience

Really fantastic and innovative work led by my amazing NeuroPRISM lab colleague and good friend. Congrats @ShearerHallee!
Curious if movie-watching can improve the reliability of FC from a certain brain region? Check out our Shiny App to explore the results from our ROI-based comparison of the test-retest reliability of FC between movie-watching and resting-state fMRI.

@PessoaBrain There's rodent work pointing to the BNST's involvement in safety learning/processing. Following exposure to inescapable tail shocks, safety signals decrease Fos immunoreactivity in the BNST and freezing behavior.

NeuroPRISM Lab's 1st birthday (full of cake & statistically driven party games, of course)!!! 🥳🎉
Today, the lab threw a surprise Happy 1st Birthday party for NeuroPRISM lab 🥹 @ShearerHallee+@AlexFischbach_ made cake, photos, & even invented a game/app to predict word use changes over time These two are unstoppable. Thanks for making our first year a blast! 🥳

@IngridHoeritza1 Thank you so much!! We actually touch upon bladder control (along with a wide range of other funcs. - e.g., contributions to migraine, vocalization/communication, body temp, REM, mating + feeding behaviors) in the introduction!

@CBPsychAcademic @SfNJournals I would speculate that our findings support the broader sig. of the PAG for SN function beyond processing 'emotional' stimuli, emphasizing how the PAG integrates viscerosensory + visceromotor info crucial for domain-general interoceptive & allostatic processing within the SN.

@LaatoSamuli @LFeldmanBarrett @affectivescilab resulting from an interplay of basic processes such as integrating external + internal sensory signals, mobilizing energy to meet demand, allocating attentional resources, and generating and executing a motor plan (2/2).

9/9 To summarize, our results are consistent with the emerging perspective that the PAG serves a general integrative function—as opposed to a survival-specific function.
