National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)

Please join the next #Neurobiology Interest Group Seminar tomorrow at 3:30pm ET. Tara Doucet-O'Hare, PhD from Clemson University will be presenting on "Epigenetic regulation and endogenous retroviral expression in primary CNS tumors: What happens when normal development is derailed?" https://lnkd.in/eph99ZZG

On September 23, join the NIH HEAL Initiative? for a webinar collaboration with the U.S. Pain Foundation. Dr. Laura Simons (Stanford University School of Medicine) will discuss her research, which seeks to identify predictors of chronic musculoskeletal pain—the most common type of chronic pain. This webinar, designed specifically for those with lived experience with pain, will be a lively discussion on HEAL pain research in progress. Register: https://go.nih.gov/SxpEKxx #NIHPainProgress #PainAwarenessMonth

Prioritizing health equity, researchers like Dr. Megan Irby (Wake Forest University) are developing culturally relevant research materials. Irby’s team developed resources in English and Spanish to meet the needs of the community.

In 2020, NIH Blueprint established an initiative to increase understanding of functional neural circuits of interoception and their roles in nervous system disorders. Through this impactful initiative, seven projects at six institutions are being funded for a total of ~$18M. To date, over 35 publications and two successful investigator meetings have resulted from this exciting initiative! #NIHBlueprint20?

Dr. Dayna Averitt discusses the role that hormones and stress can have on gender differences seen in craniofacial conditions, such as headache and temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Watch the interview here: https://lnkd.in/eEiiwBpH #PainAwarenessMonth #NIHPainProgress
