Nicole Rust@nicolecrust.bsky.social · last yr.I gave a talk Wed on the "Grand Plan," and I ended it by describing why this paper is such a big deal. If you are interested in individual variability, precision medicince, or the RDoC agenda writ large, this is a terrific example of emergine ways to measure what we've never been able to before.

ERRATUM : "not in the homecage, we still use an external setup. It's built to prioritize animal welfare and standardization, featuring a dark and safe environment, video recordings through infrared-permeable walls, built-in infrared light-source, slide-and-lock system, software..." + Nice setup pic!

Johannes Bohacek@bohaceklab.bsky.social · last yr.How much analgesia is needed to manage pain levels in mice after brain surgeries? A single dose of meloxicam seems to be enough. Even the addition of opioids cannot provide a clear benefit. (in line with recent work from others, see cites in our preprint): www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

As someone who has spent the last 25 years studying sex differences in brain function and behavior and the last 10 advocating (loudly) for SABV and working to help my colleagues implement the policy into their work, this is utterly heartbreaking.
