The 2024 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship call results are in.
With a budget of €417 million, we are funding nearly 1,700 researchers from 🇪🇺 and beyond.
They will strengthen EU research in key areas such as social inclusion, AI, and cancer research ↓

As Chair of the Bordeaux Neurocampus Parity and Inclusion Committee, I’m pleased to share we’ve received generous CNRS funding to expand our inclusion efforts. Thanks to @neurobordeaux.bsky.social and CNRS for the support, which enables us to keep building a more inclusive research environment.

🚨 New study alert! 🚨
Ever wondered if rats and humans learn in the same way? 🐭🧑🔬
We tested this — and the answer is yes, at least when it comes to how we value rewards in context.

Let's just say that when these experiments took place I had no idea where Wuhan was or how to change a diaper. So, you can just imagine how relieved I am to see this work out! A smooth and positive experience with the new
@elife.bsky.social model, which I recommend.

Disruption of the CRF1 receptor eliminates morphine-induced sociability deficits and firing of oxytocinergic neurons in male mice
Both genetic and pharmacological studies reveal an essential role for the CRF1 receptor in social behavior deficits induced by a single morphine administration in male, but not in female, mice.
