Promotional poster for a medical lecture titled ‘Neuroactive Steroids and Perinatal Mental Health’ presented by Dr. Lauren Osborne, MD, Associate Professor of OB-GYN and of Psychiatry, Vice Chair of Clinical Research in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Weill Cornell Medicine. The poster features a professional headshot of Dr. Osborne, a woman with shoulder-length dark hair and glasses wearing a black blazer over a geometric patterned top, smiling warmly against a light purple geometric background. Event details show Monday, March 9, 2026 at 8am PST/11am EST, with instructions to register for the virtual lecture and Q&A. Institutional logos appear at bottom: University of California, Weill Cornell Medicine Radiology, and Cornell Bowers CIS College of Computing and Information Science. The Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative logo appears at top.

Next Monday: Dr. Lauren Osborne, MD, presents "Neuroactive Steroids and Perinatal Mental Health." Register at tinyurl.com/bowerswbhi-s... so you can tune in and join the conversation.

Congratulatory announcement graphic on a teal background with the Ann S. Bowers Women's Brain Health Initiative logo at top. The main text reads 'Congrats, Dr. Laura Pritschet!!! 2025 WHAM Edge Award' in white speech bubble-style banners. Below is a professional headshot photo of Dr. Pritschet, a young woman with long wavy blonde hair wearing a light gray textured sweater and green earrings, smiling warmly at the camera. The WHAM (Women's Health Access Matters) logo appears in the bottom right corner in teal and gray text.

Congratulations on your Women's Health Access (WHAM) Edge Award, Dr. @laurapritschet.bsky.social! Thank you WHAM for supporting early-career investigators like Laura pursuing groundbreaking research.

Such a great experience presenting at the 2025 NeuroBoston Symposium at Tufts University! 🙌 So grateful for the opportunity and for all the great questions and conversations afterward 🙂🧠🚺 #Tufts #NeuroBoston #StudyWomen #WomensBrainHealth #Menopause @sfn.org

Honored to be selected for a lightning talk at the NeuroBoston Symposium at Tufts University today!

I’ll be presenting on traumatic brain injury, white-matter integrity, and the roles of #Menopause timing and hormone therapy 🧠 🚺

Excited to share these findings!! 🙌 #WomensBrainHealth #StudyWomen

Topological turning points across the human lifespan - Nature Communications Researchers discovered five phases of brain rewiring across the lifespan. The eras of childhood, adolescence, adulthood, early aging, and late aging each have characteristic rewiring of structural con...

“Despite sex effects in individual organizational measures, we did not sex-stratify this data due to sample size considerations.”

🤦‍♀️ TBD. Also please determine reproductive effects in female data by age, known for restructuring? Cheers! #studywomen

Divergent sex-specific pannexin-1 mechanisms in microglia and T cells underlie neuropathic pain Panx1 channels mediate sex-specific immune mechanisms in neuropathic pain: leptin from CD8+ T cells drives pain in females, while VEGF from microglia mediates pain in males.

A study sheds light on why pain medication are not as effective for women
In female rodents, researchers found injury to a nerve releases leptin, a hormone that is associated with heightened pain sensitivity. #pain #studywomen #sciencebreakthrough #paintreatment www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

and @denadubal.bsky.social’s work on the regenerative power of the second X chromosome - a finding that could improve brain aging for everyone. What other fundamental discoveries are out there waiting to be unearthed if we #studywomen?
