Molecular Neuroscience.
It appears childhood ADHD diagnosis are higher in generally poorer states than in richer ones. Sometimes 3 fold higher. Are we medicating behavioural issues that are related to poverty, rather than innate neurodivergence? #PsychSciSky #Neuroscience

Posted this during EU hours, so reposting for those in the US

This recent paper got a lot of attention, and describes the role of the TrkB receptor in the action of psychedelics.

It's relevant to how we understand depression and antidepressants generally.

Cognitive and molecular neuroscience often feel worlds apart.

I'm more comfortable reading a paper about lung cancer than I am reading about "neural processing".

How can we bridge this gap? What papers should every neuroscientist read, regardless of discipline?

Hey!

I'm about to graduate with my MSc in Neuroscience, my thesis was on the effects of Ketamine on Oxytocin/5-HT2C receptor complexes.

I have a PhD in quite a different field round the corner.

I have a passionate interest in psychiatry, psychedelics and good science.🕉️
