"activity of DRN neurons... promotes social preference but also elicits a negative affective state in the absence of a social target."
@The_Lagrangian promising path to a cure for negative affect? @sarahdoingthing
@The_Lagrangian I'm extremely suspicious because they think they understand "depression" and science is pretty dead
@The_Lagrangian if they're going to do brain surgery on everybody that's cool though
@sarahdoingthing actually thinking more it isn't promising even assuming they are correct- would only remove neg of loneliness specifically
@sarahdoingthing not e.g. active condemnation in social situations or nonsocial sources of neg affect
@sarahdoingthing but in general this study is much nicer than most social neuro because optogenetics allows causal intervention
@The_Lagrangian is that something you could do in a maker space?
@sarahdoingthing @The_Lagrangian not more than once
