We had the privilege of having @lgranatacarollo.bsky.social talk to our doctoral students earlier this week, where she taught us all things about science and medical communication! Thanks for coming down to URI!
Great showing by URI @universityofri.bsky.social Interdisciplinary Neuroscience Program at NeuroBoston yesterday! @sfn.org
This writing style was new for me, but it was a great way to think prospectively with Michelle about how we can consider exercise doses for ADHD populations in future work.
I was invited to write a commentary about a great meta-analysis by Pan et al. that uses MET dose-responses to examine executive functions in children with ADHD. My doctoral student, Michelle Lim, joined me in writing this piece, where we recommend some future considerations for our field.
Great to see our research on physical activity, ADHD, and executive functions get some press. Thanks @gwaynemiller.bsky.social & @pellcenter.bsky.social for the opportunity to chat! Link to article below.
Always a pleasure working with our dream team @cwardritacco.bsky.social
Our new paper is out today: Heightened menopausal symptoms mediate the associations between stress and depressive symptoms among midlife women.
This is the first of many projects we are undertaking in the lab to shed light on the importance of women’s brain health. Link to paper below!
Congrats! They’re so lucky to have you lead!
The lab is at ACSM in Atlanta, Georgia! Great to see our work in physical activity and brain health spanning pediatric, menopausal, and Parkinson’s populations represented with these presentations. #ACSM25
A great week for the lab! 12 of our students presented their projects at the College of Health Sciences Research Night, followed by a final spring lab meeting pizza party to celebrate our graduating seniors - and the sun (finally) came out just in time 🌞
Congrats Nicole!! So exciting and so well deserved!
@physactivityed.bsky.social they look great don’t they! Thanks for sharing!
Not sure when all my students became canva experts (probably because I walk into the lab asking for figures far too often)… but PhD student Janis Gaudreau’s poster is tomorrow at 2:30pm! Diving into individual differences among pediatric resting state EEG #CNS2025 @cogneuronews.bsky.social
Great first poster session of #CNS2025 @cogneuronews.bsky.social
Today at 3-5pm!!
How much sleep do we need? 😴How about physical activity? 🏃🏼♀️Doctoral student Michelle Lim presents the optimal 24-hour activity cycle for cognitive function among adolescents today at 5pm in CNS Poster Session A (A78) 🧠 #CNS2025 @cogneuronews.bsky.social
Always proud of my lab - but especially excited to see them representing our group at Rhode Island BrainWaves today! A great family event each year bridging science education and communication within our local communities. Thanks for coming by our table and learning about “Exercise for your Brain!”
The hypothalamus is a small structure deep inside the brain that is connected to a vast number of other brain regions and tirelessly interacts with them. It controls and modulates many basic bodily functions to ensure the survival of the organism under constantly changing circumstances.
The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state.
A special issue unpacked this brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. scim.ag/41FRESU #BrainAwarenessWeek
Congrats!!
Super proud of Matt and his team! So much hard work went into this paper, it’s great to see it out today in Science!
I’ll also be presenting this work at CNS in Boston on March 31!
A new paper out today which explores one of my labs latest trajectories: exploring positive childhood experiences, despite the presence of ACEs, on cognitive function and mental health outcomes, using the ABCD dataset. Link: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...
THRILLED to see this SI now out addressing the power and potential of focusing our lens on women. H/t to Tali for making space for these ideas to flourish and for a dream team of investigators to contribute!!
