    Immune Cells Destroy Healthy Brain Connections, Diminish Cognitive Function in Obese Mice
    Obesity may drive microglia into a synapse-eating frenzy that leads to cognitive impairment.
  • Overview of the two pain modulation tasks. The temperature, number and duration of moderately painful stimuli, as well as the timing of cues, stimuli and VASs were kept the same across tasks to facilitate comparison. To avoid skin sensitization while keeping experiments brief, two thermodes were used to deliver stimuli. A, In the mental imagery task, participants imagined scenarios in which the moderate heat-pain stimuli would either be pleasant (i.e., useful to alleviate hypothermia) or noxious (i.e., a standard, potentially harmful source of heat such as a pain device or a clothes iron). Visual cues displaying the words 鈥渄ifferent鈥 (target: pleasant imagery) or 鈥渄evice鈥 (comparison imagery) were presented 9 s before the onset of each heat stimulus, instructing participants to start imagining. B, In the relative relief task, visual cues displaying the word 鈥淲ait鈥 were presented 9 s before each heat stimulus to induce expectation of intense pain (Intense run, text on red background) or non-painful warm stimuli (Warm run, text displayed on a blue background). Before task onset, participants were informed that the heat stimulus following the initial visual cue would 鈥渕ost likely鈥 be the cued stimulus, the onset of which was then indicated by a cue reading 鈥淔eel鈥 (same color background). However, when the second cue was an arrow pointing downward or upward, it indicated the delivery of a modified stimulus. Unbeknownst to participants, the temperature used then was always the one calibrated to induce moderate pain. In the Intense run, the downward pointing arrow indicated a lower temperature stimulus than expected, thus constituting a relative relief cue. In the comparison run, the upward pointing arrow indicated a higher temperature stimulus. The target and comparison stimuli were thus matched for expected and actual likelihood as well as for temperature, duration, and order of appearance.

    SfN to Host Virtual Conference on Next Generation Optogenetics September 20

    The virtual conference will explore the power and applications of optogenetics and draw together leading researchers in the field to examine how this technology is revolutionizing neuroscience.

  • Improving experimental design and statistical analyses alone will not solve the reproducibility crisis in science, argues Ray Dingledine in a societal impact article published in eNeuro. Repeating classic behavioral economics experiments with graduate- to senior-level researchers, the author finds scientists of all career stages are subject to the same biases as undergraduates when interpreting data.
