Can we use macronutrients to understand altered food reward in depression? Our new preprint shows that patients with MDD report lower wanting & liking for foods rich in fat or protein (vs. carbs). #neuroscience 🩺 W/ @corcerebrum.bsky.social @neuromadlab.bsky.social www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...
Altered food liking in depression is driven by macronutrient composition of the depicted food. We analyzed wanting and liking ratings of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and matched healthy control participants. Patients with MDD reported lower food wanting, whereas food liking was primarily associated with symptoms of anhedonia. We then evaluated whether the macronutrient composition of the food accounted for differences in ratings. This led to a substantial improvement in models and showed that patients with MDD show specific deficits for food rich in fat and protein.

Are people back on BlueSky? I hope we can leave Twitter behind while keeping the good scientific community we once had there. We have a new preprint on tVNS-induced pupil dilation. It comes again with a Shiny App to customize the settings. #neuroscience www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

With Christmas feasts approaching, check out our new preprint on ghrelin and its association with mood (spoiler: ghrelin is more than a "hunger hormone")! /w lead from our amazing MD Rauda Fahed @neuromadlab.bsky.social /w @nbkroemer.bsky.social tinyurl.com/ykws98fn #neuroscience #MedSky

Is the vagus nerve primarily regulating 'rest & digest'? In our new TiCS review, we outline that it is time to expand our perspective on vagal signaling to include 'strive to survive' as a second survival mode. Work w/ @glassybrain.bsky.social #neuroscience authors.elsevier.com/a/1iALr4sIRv...
The vagal afferent pathway and its theorized function in allostatic behavior.
Interoception encodes bodily demands that arise once an allostatic set point, such as a sufficient nutrient supply, is unmet. Interoceptive signals can be evoked by changes in bodily states (e.g., lack of nutrients) or emulated by vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)

Time to start posting! I am a PhD candidate at Uni Tübingen and I research brain functions involved in moral decision-making but I am also interested in financial and social DM. Soon (I hope) I will have some publications on morality but this is already out: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32987043/
