@facebook I can’t unsubscribe from your emails. This is so basic. You tell me you’re working on it but it’s been three weeks. At best this is poor business at worst your being dishonest. mfks

In lovely Paris to attend EBRAINS; comparative anatomy and function of the PFC from rodent to human.
Hoping to glean a few ideas on how PFC might regulate coping behaviours in chronic pain and improve translation to the clinic.
🙏 @MedResFdn for supporting. #PFCworkshop

Does noxious stimulation in early life shape the future brain connections that will underlie pain experience in adults? New research on rats in #JNeurosci from Chang, @LFabriziUCL, & @ProfMariaFitz suggests that the answer is yes.
