May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth.
Neuroscience plays a crucial role in asking better questions, finding more effective treatments, & breaking the stigma around mental health conditions.
SfN proudly recognizes the researchers, clinicians, & advocates making that work possible.
Join us next Wednesday from 1:00-2:00 at JHU for the final Baltimore Brain Series seminar of the semester! Awardees Dr. Zhewei Zhang from NIDA and Dr. Amir Mehrabani Tabari from UMB will present their exciting work. Zoom link provided upon request! @JohnsHopkins@HopkinsNeuro

Not one, but TWO cool preprints by @JenniferSenta!
First preprint (with @Anne_On_Tw, Peter Dayan and Sonia Bishop) has a really cool use of modeling aimed at dissociating mechanisms underlying depression and anxiety-related phenotypes:

If you follow @JohnsHopkins, you know that university research is about more than data—it’s about people. Research saves lives by bringing new treatments, cures, and hope to families everywhere. From transformative medical breakthroughs to innovations that shape tomorrow, the impact is real. Every future discovery starts with the work happening now. Share to show your support. Share so we all understand what’s at stake. Share because research saves lives.

Call to End Freeze on Federal Grants
The White House's pause on federal grants threatens our nation’s scientific progress. This unprecedented freeze will impact students and trainees who rely on grants, funded investigators, and patients waiting for critical discoveries and treatments, in addition to having an economic impact for employees and employers at universities and organizations that are economic drivers in the U.S.
