OpenAI wrote a pretty amazing song about the amygdala in the style of Taylor Swift: Verse 1: In the depths of my brain, a little almond-shaped thing Lies the amygdala, the center of my feelings It's responsible for my emotions and fears 1/x
Our second Spongebob meme: this time inspired by Craig et al. doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1… "Endogenous central amygdala mu-opioid receptor signaling promotes sodium appetite in mice"
We've made it to the end of the semester! As part of our group synthesis projects, we created memes related to class content. We hope you enjoy them! Our first meme is inspired by Grabenhorst et al. (2019) doi.org/10.1016/j.cell… and Janak & Tye (2015) doi.org/10.1038/nature…
We are currently looking at the role of the amygdala in autism. This article is aligned with what we discussed in class when considering neurodiversity scientificamerican.com/article/autism…
For next year's class!
For next year's class!
We agree that this is our favorite figure from the whole semester (from motherjones.com/environment/20…, edited from shutterstock.com/image-illustra…)
