A dorsal hippocampus-prodynorphinergic dorsolateral septum-to-lateral hypothalamus circuit mediates contextual gating of feeding Goode et al. show that prodynorphin (Pdyn)-expressing neurons of the dorsolateral septum (DLS) receive substantial dorsal hippocampal (DHPC) input and inhibit lateral hypothalamic (LHA) GABAergic neur...

Restaurants, billboards, commercials… what brain circuits link context to appetite? 🧠🌎🍽️

Very happy to finally share a major update in our work exploring the hippocampus and lateral septum in calibrating food consumption! 🍩

Major thanks to our lab and collaborators! ⭐️⭐️

Inspired by Catherine Woolley’s amazing Presidential lecture on sex differences at #SFN25? Check out @ossdcomm.bsky.social for a community of scientists across fields (including basic and clinical work, and in public policy) that focus on sex differences!

Congratulations Mandy! Exciting work!

Very glad to share our newest paper published in Molecular Psychiatry: Investigating milk-derived extracellular vesicles as mediators of maternal stress and environmental intervention www.nature.com/articles/s41... fun collab w/ @jordanmarrocco.bsky.social. Please enjoy! #OpenAccess #MaternalHealth

Really enjoyed the Women’s Health Research @ossdcomm.bsky.social pre-meeting today. Thanks to all who came to my talk & for all generous feedback I received - it means a lot! Thanks to @liisagalea.bsky.social for organizing… So good to see everyone and feel so much dedication and support for WHR! ❤️

So excited for @swhr.bsky.social workshop on Advancing Research Priorities in Women’s Obesity Research Care with Irene Aninye & Syreen Goulmamine

here we go: following along to hear highlights from @kundakoviclab.bsky.social keynote in the women’s health premeeting at @ossdcomm.bsky.social

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Statement from Liisa Galea, Scientific Lead of the Women's Health Research Cluster - Women's Health Research Cluster We are so proud to have over 800 members across 32 countries in the Women’s Health Research Cluster. Our Vision is to achieve sex and gender health equity, and we strive for a future where women...

Here’s my statement as Lead for @whrcluster.bsky.social on the importance of studying women’s health- (& the importance of within & across sex & gender investigations) for our best chance at precision medicine womenshealthresearchcluster.com/learn/womens...

Great resource for all stress researchers! Check it out🧪🧠😍

Thrilled to share the notice of award for my F31 NRSA application with NIDA! Science truly takes a village, and I’m feeling particularly built up by mine today.

I’m honored and excited to step into the role of editor-in-chief of Physiology & Behavior. www.sciencedirect.com/journal/phys...

Good morning #ACNP2024! Had enough neuroscience yet? Time to learn a little cardiology (as performed by neuroscientist. @Devineffinger.Bsky.social). Specifically, does chronic microdosing of LSD pose a cardiovascular risk by chronically activating 5HT2B receptors? Find out at poster W234 today!!

Fantastic talks in the #ACNP2024 #epigenetics session by @autumnskye1229.bsky.social on the epigenetics of stress and exercise across the lifespan
and by @eahellerphd.bsky.social on harnessing epigenetic editing to understand and ameliorate the long-lasting mechanisms of addiction

Studying sex differences in the human brain is challenging, but important.

Many thanks to @emilysingerneuro.bsky.social & the fab folks @thetransmitter.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to the evolving conversation on this timely topic ⬇️
