Great talk from Caitlyn Cody demonstrating influences of maternal separation and subsequent BLA inhibition during adolescence on anxiety-like behavior and PFC innervation in rodents!!

PSA for ISDP folks leaving today- don’t forget to take your outlet adapters out of the wall along with your chargers when you pack up 🙂

Remind me to compose an ode to significant 3-way interactions, in iambic pentameter

Excited to share the new preprint from the lab. We found that early life stress (ELS) disrupts the brain-wide functional connectivity of the raphe nucleus and parsed out the individual circuits to rescue ELS-induced anxiety Raksha Ramkumar Moriah Edge Dylan Terstege N. Sakib Khan

What’s better than giving my first Society for Neuroscience (SfN) nanosymposium talk this year? Getting to do it with my favorite lab twin Mikey Fanikos by my side along with so many incredible scientists from Dr. Cate Peña Dr. Debra Bangasser Abby Polter Camila Demaestri, PhD Lauren Malave labs and more! #sfn2023

Might I add that you’re going to get a shiny new renovated lab and a huge office down the hall from my own and the Brenhouse Lab! Northeastern students are amazing—fun to teach in the classroom and excited to work in the lab. And Boston ain’t a bad place to live, either!

Incredibly honored to be added to this Women in Medicine and Science wall, amongst some of my science heroes! Huge thanks to SPARED Center at McLean Hospital and everyone at McLean Hospital who organized the day and took the time to meet with me #WomenInSTEM Northeastern COS

What a treat hosting Dr. Travis Hodges yesterday! Super talk about higher cognitive bias in middle aged males compared to adolescents and relationships with infl cytokines.. also got to learn a bit about what I’ve missed by not watching Golden Batchelor

Past and present lab members- together again! Conference highlight ♥️🧠😭#sfn23 #proudPI

A strong start to 2024, and to understanding pubertal timing after #earlylifetramua (1) Paper accepted to Hormones and Behavior Journal and (2) a NU Undergraduate PEAK award to labbie prachi, to take that project in a new direction!

📣New paper reporting accelerated hypothalamic expression of pubertal regulators following #earlylifestress ! Nice work Lauren Granata, PhD and Mikey Fanikos ! authors.elsevier.com/a/1iRxN,QxXoK0Z

Hi Twitterverse! Have any postdoc/PI teams out there submitted an R03 together as MPI? Any advice and/or pushback?

If you'll be at the Stress meeting next week, come talk to Caitlyn about this work at her poster--fabulous work, Caitlyn Cody !

Elena will continue to be a force of kindness, humor, and brilliance through the countless people that she touched while she was here. The shock of losing her is still very raw for all of us, but I know that in the largest sense, she hasn't gone anywhere

Anyone at SBN Tweets 2024 know if shuttles are still running to hotels? Just arrived and excited for this afternoon’s sessions!

At SBN Tweets? Make sure to check out lab posters: P1.21 stress & maternal defensive behavior from Sydney Ku P3.30 lasting effects of early resource scarcity on motivated behavior from Amelia Cuarenta, PhD #SBN2024

Unused drink tickets are the least sad part of leaving SBN Tweets early… Be sure to stop by poster #4 later to talk to Angarika Balakrishnan (She/ Her) about CRH, early life stress, and accelerated puberty!

Pups develop their ultrasonic vocalizations differently when raised with daily maternal separation--but is mom listening? We looked into it! Nice work Alekhya Rekapalli Caitlyn Cody onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jd…

New pub in Biological Psychiatry, collaboratively across trauma research labs McLean Hospital, led by Nate Harnett. We review the relevance of visual processing in PTSD, esp the impact of stress on affective-visual circuitry. biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-…

Far from women’s health being a “niche” area -putting more effort into understanding the multifaceted area of women’s health will lead to exciting new discoveries that will benefit all, regardless of our gender.
