🧠 Can emotions be studied across species?

New research shows how mice & humans share prolonged brain states in response to eye puffs—disrupted by ketamine.

A breakthrough in emotion research?

Eye puffs prompt separable sensory, affective brain responses in mice, people
Post-puff brain state might not be an emotion, some researchers caution, but the protocol provides a cross-species approach to study emotions.

🐭 “Nude” mice lack a thymus and can’t produce T cells, so they accept human tissues without rejection!

🧬 Discovered in the 1960s, they revolutionized cancer & immunology research and help develop personalized medicine. 💉 #Science

Promising tech like organ-on-a-chip can complement animal models — but not replace them yet.

Oversimplifying the debate risks misleading the public and hindering science.

🧠 New study shows how the brain redirects blood flow in real time via endothelial cells & connexins (Cx37, Cx40). Blocking them disrupts brain function. Could improve fMRI and neurodegenerative disease treatments.

🔍 Clarification on NIH's recent announcement:

❌ NIH is not ending animal research funding.
✅ It will no longer require proposals to rely exclusively on animal models. NAMs like AI, in silico models & organ-on-chip are now encouraged.

🚨 The @nihr.bsky.social will no longer fund animal-only studies.

New grant proposals must consider NAMs like AI, in silico models & organ-on-chip tech.

A historic shift toward more ethical & human-relevant science.
