Psilocybin's powerful short- and long-term effects on your brain are revealed by this intrepid precision imaging drug trial published in @Nature. As one of the scientists I was also a study volunteer. Spending hours in an MRI scanner, while tripping on 25 mg was the experience of a lifetime. Ever since, it's fascinated me that I can remember all of it, even though my thoughts were massively distorted. I took notes afterwards and turned them into a story ... given the interest, I'll try to publish it somewhere.

After a high dose of psilocybin, the brain desynchronizes at a massive scale, causing loss of our sense of self, time, and space. This may drive the burst of plasticity caused by psychedelics. The next day, brain activity has largely returned to normal, but an echo remains – a reset of circuits critical to the sense of self.
Our study is out today in @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

For people attending @FluxSociety, can we get a thread going of people that are (or will) be recruiting PhD students, Postdocs &/or Research Scientists? That way RAs, PhD students or Postdocs can look for you? 👀

Great idea! My lab is recruiting for both postdoc and post-bacc level positions. Here is the the postdoc ad. The post-bacc ad is on the horizon. Find me at @FluxSociety 😃

The Psychological & Brain Sciences Department at @WUSTL is looking for multiple Assistant Professors of Clinical Psychology (apply.interfolio.com/129126). We have the 7th highest amount of NIH funding, the 10th largest endowment, an absolutely beautiful campus, and low cost of living

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…
And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

Begging the Portland Trail Blazers to stop riding for Draymond on this one. Besides we don’t need to recruit him!!!!! We’re perfectly fine without him………..

So proud of this work! Congrats @gordonneuro @ndosenbach and team!!!
Also a big shout out to all of the hard working folks @UMN_MIDB @UMN_CMRR @_janzimmermann_ @WUSTLmed who are bringing these types of data to the masses!
Big win for #teamscience 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

All NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports editors have resigned over the high publication fee, and are starting a new non-profit journal
imaging-neuroscience.org
This comes with great regret, and a huge amount of thought and discussion- please read announcement to get more details.

Make clinical psychology "internship" a postdoctoral position and pay these highly skilled clinicians accordingly.
Here's my take on what's wrong with the Clinical Psychology "Internship" system.
Do you think I'm missing anything?
At the very least, I appreciate that this system is being reconsidered by the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science (APCS) @PCSASNews #psychtwitter

A pair of neuroimaging-related studies — one about a framework for brain-wide association studies and another about a standardized tool to image rat brains — held researchers’ attention on social media this week.
