Hippocampal estrogen levels, receptor types, and epigenetics contribute to sex-specific memory vulnerabilities to concurrent acute stresses Acute concurrent stresses provoke lasting, sex-dependent memory problems. Hokenson, Rodríguez-Acevedo, et al. find that high hippocampal estrogen levels in mice generate permissive chromatin states, a...

Finally dropped! fantastic collaboration with @ladenardo.bsky.social, whole-brain analyses of our novel CRH/GABA BLA-NAc projection shows impact of earlylife stress that are sex dependent & reflect reward behaviors www.jneurosci.org/content/earl... @thebalelab.bsky.social @kundakoviclab.bsky.social

So proud of this mini project! Thank you to my amazing mentors @talliezee.bsky.social & @alimortazavi.bsky.social and @snsf.ch & @chronoshub.bsky.social for their endless support💙
