Ever wondered why chronic steroid use can cause #dementia? Excited to share our paper with @staffordlightma @BeckyConwayCam2 @BristolUni out today in @PNASNews ! Check it out below⬇️ pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
In case you missed it, check out our @z_baram lab's latest work in @NatureComms . We identified a #stress-sensitive projection from BLA-NAc, and found inhibiting it AFTER early life adversity rescued reward behavior! Find the @NIMHgov funded study here: nature.com/articles/s4146…
Inspired by thoughtful discussions, happy to share our paper with @kbath77 @meghan_gallo and collaborators @drbelshort @z_baram exploring the impact of resource scarcity and maternal separation in mice on maternal signals and pup amygdala gene expression doi.org/10.1016/j.ynst…
Congrats Rachael 🥂🎉
Thrilled to share @ScienceMagazine piece, a 10 yr obsession: developing brains get signals from the environment that shape emotional circuit maturation & impact mental health. What signals? which ones are 'bad'? how do they influence circuit refinement? science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
YAYYY, my big paper from my postdoc on #microglial pruning of stress-sensitive CRH+ neurons during early-life stress is finally out!!! This has been >5 years in the works, so big shout out to all co-authors, and especially my mentor @z_baram (thread below) cell.com/cell-reports/f…
Postdoc work with @z_baram @calizavi @JessicaLBolton @mtbirnie is in press!🎉 doi.org/10.1016/j.bpsg… Check out our work using single cell transcriptomics of stress-sensitive CRH neurons to identify populations impacted by early-life adversity in open access @BiologicalPsyc1
Early-Life Adversity Blunts Reward Responsiveness in Adulthood rdcu.be/cFvEj @DiegoPizzagalli @npp_journal
Come join us for a Postdoc in California! employ #singlecell transcriptomics #merFISH and functional approaches to early-life #stress effects on #reward #amygdala #PVT. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Current folks are getting own labs! @FENSorg @LisaMonteggia
Excited to share! combined data & biology-driven approaches to single cell transcriptomics of #stress-sensitive #CRH neurons identifies novel cell populations & shows selective impact of earlylife adversity. Kudos @drbelshort @calizavi @BiologicalPsyc1 sciencedirect.com/science/articl….
Thrilled to share the power of common measures in humans and experimental animals to test mechanistic hypotheses on the impact of #early life #stress on #reward sensitivity. Now out in @npp_journal @ACNPorg great collab with @DiegoPizzagalli @drbelshort nature.com/articles/s4138…
Interested in early-life #stress? in humans? The QUIC, a user-friendly instrument for studying parental & environmental unpredictability-a novel important actionable early adversity- is on line. In English and Spanish! Dutch, German & Finnish versions soon contecenter.uci.edu/questionnaire-…
Cool @drbelshort & @calizavi single-cell transcriptomics work on #stress-regulating CRH cells in developing hypothalamus. Combined data-and neuroscience-driven clustering identifies novel populations, which are specifically targeted by early-life stress. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Dear Twittexperts: how do you define a neuron (in hypothalamus) as glutamatergic? do you have a non vGlut2mRNA method you can share? TX! (see unhelpful example of vGlut2 IHC).@superkash @StephenMaren @svmahler @AllenInstitute @MarinaP63 @Herman_lab @Bangasser_Lab @TrendsNeuro
SO proud @JessicaLBolton! >4 yrs of passion & smarts. 4-D live imaging of microglia-neuron interaction in neonatal mice in situ! Chronic chemogenetic microglia activation in neonates sans injection stress! yes. microglia mediate ELS effect on circuit maturation

Excited to finally share my scientific "baby", the result of my K99 work with @z_baram, @LaboTremblay, @drbelshort and many others, now under review and posted for your enjoyment on @biorxiv_neursci doi: doi.org/10.1101/2021.0…. Read on for the summary blurbs...#microglia #CRF

Our @SfNJournals #JNeurosci paper is officially published! jneurosci.org/content/41/4/6… Here we investigate the role of #EstrousCycle #estrogen on the effects of acute #stress on #memory . See my prior thread for details! @z_baram @drbelshort @JessicaLBolton

Just out! What factors execute enduring changes of hippocampal neurons. promoting memory deficits after early-life #stress? REST and all the rest (actually GR). REST/NRSF= a TF poised for neuronal plasticity. 👇@calizavi @BohacekLab @Cate_cholamine
