Quite happy to share this latest work from our lab. In this study, we have addressed an important question of general importance: if and how brain medications (such as anti-depression drugs) change brain over time. We addressed this by specifically investigating the impact of an important drug, Ketamine.

Psychology and neuroscience have advanced our understanding of emotions, which are complex states involving feelings, physiology, and behavior. The amygdala processes fear and other negative emotions, while the prefrontal cortex regulates emotions and decision-making. Emotions can also shape neural connections and impact brain plasticity. #Emotions #Psychology #Neuroscience #Amygdala #PrefrontalCortex #MentalHealth #Behavior #BrainPlasticity #Research

Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to adapt and change in response to experiences and development. It allows for the growth of new connections and restructuring of existing pathways. #Neuroplasticity #BrainPlasticity #Adaptation #Learning #Recovery #BrainDisorders #BrainInjury #Research #Development #Neuroscience

I wish I remembered my dreams. No, this isn’t a metaphor, though I wish it were! I miss my wild wacky weird dreams.

The dreams stopped a while after my two brain surgeries and four brain radiosurgeries. I survived an unsurvivable cancer — and yay, I’m alive! — but I lost some brain function. Like remembering my dreams. Or tasting chocolate.

Once in awhile I awaken holding a thread to a dream. This gives me hope. I fully believe I’ll get my dream recall back.
