Prelimbic cortical excitatory overdrive and inhibitory underdrive accompany environmental suppression of food seeking - Neuropsychopharmacology Neuropsychopharmacology - Prelimbic cortical excitatory overdrive and inhibitory underdrive accompany environmental suppression of food seeking

How does environmental enrichment affect food seeking? We show reduced cue evoked food seeking following just 24hrs of EE accompanied by cell type specific alterations in the mPFC as well as important contributions of a sucrose cue ensemble #fridayscience

The sun just spat out the strongest solar flares of 2025 — and more could be headed toward Earth The sun has released several powerful M- and X-class solar flares over the past few days, resulting in radio blackouts around the world.

How about some science for your Friday? Yeah, that sounds good.

First off, we have solar flares which might mean strong auroras in the next few weeks. That's not a promise, just something to keep an eye on.

We also discussed policy and NASA news (looking at you, new NASA administrator nominee) but that ain't #FridayScience, so I won't say more.

Enjoy your Friday!!

A fascinating article for the layperson about auditory hallucinations in people with schizophrenia, and a deeper understanding if what causes them. #Neuroscience

Last week’s #FridayScience was admittedly not great. This week’s density gradient went better. (At least until the glass of maple syrup, milk, colored water, dish soap, vegetable oil, and isopropanol was stirred up and promptly dumped on the table, floor, and 7yo) #stemathome
