Great talk! So inspiring!!
My TEDx talk is live! It blends my story—from TBI to addiction to neuroscience—with practical tools for stronger emotional control and brain optimization. I’d be grateful if you shared it.

One of my figures from mine and Christina’s (@dr-cjp.bsky.social) recent paper was chosen for the cover of this month’s issue of Journal of Neurochemistry! 🧠

You can check out the summary here doi.org/10.1111/jnc....

Glad to see those pretty zona incerta neurons seeing the spotlight!! ☺️
