Same for graduate student fellowship reviews. The reason my student was scored down is one reviewer wasn’t sure how he will do the techniques. No matter that he had published two papers using the techniques.

Congrats Ciaran and Benedicte and the teams!
With the rumblings around CIHR wanting to move to one cycle per year not going away, in consultation with a diverse stakeholder group, we have put together a letter for CIHR leadership. Please consider signing this letter and share/RT: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... @cannabrain.bsky.social
So excited to share this collaborative work! A comprehensive review on neuromodulatory subcortical systems and sex differences in Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. See thread below
Serotonin’s role in mental health is more complex than we thought
“I’ve been trying to get away from working on serotonin for a long time,” says John F. Cryan, “And I can’t because every time I leave serotonin, it keeps coming back.”

Please spread the word about a postbac position in Behavioral Neuroscience at Dartmouth with me, Shelley Warlow, and Kyle smith. The postbac will contribute to collaborative projects across the three labs aimed at studying the neuroscience of motivation and reward learning.
These are a must-see. Such powerful and heartbreaking juxtapositions.

Continued learning, sociability, and exercise promote resilience to memory impairment in AD
These factors also increase the activity of the RSC, an early site of dysfunction in AD
Here we perform an RSC deep-dive to examine this interaction (PV and PNNs matter!)

We need a petition
Our new issue is now out at cell.com/neuron/current. The cover is one of our favorites, featuring an illustration by the author of the study, Amit Agarwal, and his daughter Nicolo. It reimagines the oligodendrocyte as an octopus exploring corals.
#WorldWomenNeuro is excited to host our next Welcome Meet & Greet — a virtual onboarding session designed especially for our newest members.

Let’s be clear, no funder can absorb a 50% increase in application over a period of two years without a significant increase in resources. It is unsustainable and will trigger significant policy changes, which will cause significant challenges. This needs everyone working together.
This amazing woman worked so hard for science and sport in Canada. She set up the Standing Committee on Science and Research, was a powerful voice for science in parliament and after being diagnosed with two cancers continued to advocate for good. Proud to have known the Rt Hon Kirsty Duncan. RIP 💔

It’s one way to get reviewers 🙂

I was told that this happens with NPP a lot since journal review is one of the ways of showing that you’re working for acnp so you’ll be more eligible for membership or whatever comes after membership
A simple explanation to remind us of what’s going on…
New Year’s Eve in downtown Calgary was magical, even with an exhausted little one and a hit-and-run in plain sight. Honestly, a pretty accurate summary of 2025. Here is hoping the rest of the year brings peace, health, and great papers for everyone.
🧠 Why it matters 🧠
-The results challenge a prevailing view that 5‑HT2A activation alone drives psilocybin’s therapeutic actions.
-Highlights the importance of polypharmacology 🥳, and points to the 1B receptor as a target for non‑hallucinogenic antidepressant and anxiolytic pharmacotherapies.
New paper drop! 🧠💊 Our new paper out in Molecular Psychiatry shows that the serotonin 1B receptor is important for the neural and antidepressant/anxiolytic behavioral responses to psilocybin in mice.

Yay! Congrats to you both. Awesome work!
