Same problem is plaguing psychiatry, psychology, etc. A model may predictably describe a phenomenon, but that doesn’t mean that it has anything to do with the cause or mechanism of that phenomenon.
Here is the key problem in the recent paper arguing that neurons are simple. It is the same logical problem plaguing much of neuroscience.

Among adults with treatment resistant #depression, single-day inhaled GH001 resulted in rapid, significant symptom reduction and remission vs placebo, with no severe adverse events and sustained effects over 6 months. ja.ma/4er3MPj

Congrats Weizhe! Really cool story.

We are thrilled to share a new study from the lab on the neural mechanism of helping behavior. Humans and animals exhibit helping behavior toward others in need. In this study, we report an intriguing form of helping behavior that an individual exhibits toward others experiencing pain, and uncover the role of the anterior cingulate cortex in encoding and controlling this behavior. @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Such a meaningful award. And time to connect and strategize with colleagues on next-gen #neurotech to refine, optimize and scale #DBS for #Depression. Never off my mind is that an idea goes nowhere without a great team, good timing and commitment to iteration for the long haul.
Congratulations to the NANS Innovator Award recipients - Drs. @HelenMaybergMD & Dominique Durand! Their contributions in implementation, mechanisms & technology have impacted the field of neuromodulation and driven new science and therapy creation. @IcahnMountSinai @cwru #NANS24
