Mother recounts Aspen’s brave fight from flu-like illness to hospice and loss at 6

Kiersten Peterson’s daughter Aspen was diagnosed with stage 4 rhabdomyosarcoma at age 4 after flu-like symptoms, relocating to Boston for aggressive treatment and achieving remission for about 10 months before relapse spread to her lungs and lymph nodes. Aspen endured more chemotherapy, was placed on hospice in 2025, and died on March 3, 2026, at age 6. Peterson describes trying to keep Aspen's life normal, the support from family, friends, and online communities, and the heartbreak of watching her fade away, while urging other parents to spend time with their kids and hold onto faith. A viral February 2026 video highlighted Aspen’s enduring spirit during her illness.

Relapse Switch: PV Neurons Regulate Addiction Circuits

New findings show relapse in addiction results from a circuit-level imbalance in the prefrontal cortex: parvalbumin-positive (PV) inhibitory neurons act as a gate on the PFC-to-VTA reward pathway. Suppressing PV cells reduced cocaine-seeking in mice, while activating them sustained drug-seeking after withdrawal; the effect is specific to drug rewards, not sugar, and not observed in other inhibitory cells. This reveals a targetable mechanism for relapse and suggests precision therapies to rebalance this circuit.
