Congratulations to Dr. James Fajemiroye a new Associate Member of ACNP! Welcome!! 👏
In this recent DPN study, @nicolerzurcher.bsky.social & colleagues adapted an AI-based segmentation tool to accurately delineate the choroid plexus in autism spectrum disorder. This approach helps quantify choroid plexus volume across large neuroimaging datasets.

Led by Santiago López Pereyra & @jengoldschmiedphd.bsky.social, this study demonstrates that combining two novel TMS-derived metrics with standard motor-evoked potentials classifies unmedicated major depressive disorder with 83.3% accuracy.

This study by @drsarahsperry.bsky.social & colleagues shows that in bipolar disorder, better mood and higher daily steps predicted each other from day to day, while more intense physical activity improved next-day mood but was not influenced by mood.

Congratulations! We're proud to support your work👏
Diversity supplements weren’t just for folks from underrepresented racial/ethnic backgrounds. Eligibility extended to first gen college students and researchers with disabilities, among others
Cancelling these supplements limits opportunities for the next generation of scientists, as explained here
In the current fiscal environment, particularly in the wake of a record-setting government shutdown, APA recognizes and appreciates Congress’ continued bipartisan investment in vital behavioral health initiatives. https://ow.ly/3mZV50Y9fSL
Recapping the #ACNP2026 study group, “Centering Lived Experience in Psychiatric Neuroscience Research”
We asked the panelists, what could NIH leadership do to be more supportive of trainees with non-traditional career paths, which is common among researchers with lived experience of mental illness?

ACNP was proud to support "Decoding Stigma: The Neural Science of Mental Health" Congressional Briefing on Capitol Hill today. The bipartisan Congressional Neuroscience Caucus promotes a better understanding of how the brain develops, functions, and ages.
NPP and Member in the News...Check out the recent news article highlighting Edythe London, Ph.D.'s recent @npp-journal.bsky.social paper at bit.ly/4rtMtkk. The original research article can be found at rdcu.be/e2bFd
Our latest Deep Dive covers a study that developed a deep learning model to classify sleep stages from single channel EEG recordings in rats🐀. It predicted key parameters of sleep architecture, reducing the need for labor-intensive manual annotation.

Whether you are looking to launch your first outreach program or refine an existing one, these "lessons learned" are invaluable for any scientist committed to making a difference beyond the lab.
When: Thursday, January 15, 2026 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM Where: Imperial Ballroom B
Join us for the #ACNP2026 Teaching Day Session: "Reaching Out: Success Stories and Lessons Learned." This powerhouse session features 6 expert speakers sharing their real-world experiences—both the triumphs and the challenges—in public outreach and scientific communication.
We are closing out #ACNP2026 with an extraordinary final "Meet the Luminaries" networking during lunch. Today, we highlight four leaders whose research has fundamentally changed how we understand and treat complex psychiatric disorders.

Thinking about whether you should promote your next research paper on X, Bluesky, or *Reddit*?
Stop by @brittonrae.bsky.social’s poster #1 tonight at #ACNP2026 to learn about how these 3 platforms differ in terms of engagement and online attention driven by posts about DPN articles.
Thank you to Dr. Schwarzlose for contributing the fantastic review article "Infant sensory gating and a developmental cascade to autistic traits and anxiety" this year 🤩 #ACNP2026
