Science communication in Norwegian! 🤓 the article showcases our recent review in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology!

Now published in HBM🥳 doi.org/10.1002/hbm.26…

Our paper translating inflammatory/immune findings from blood to brain in severe mental illness is out in BrainBehavImm! Very exciting interdisciplinary collab NORMENT, including induced pluripotent stem cell-derived brain cells🧠 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

With Danilo Bzdok, we leveraged rare genetic mutations (#CNVs) to revisit structural brain #asymmetry. Planum temporale emerged as especially susceptible to deletions & duplications of specific gene sets. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Unraveling the shared genetics of common epilepsies and general cognitive ability. medrxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #medRxiv

🗞️Excited to share our latest preprint on the shared genetics of common epilepsies and general cognitive ability (COG). doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… 🧬We showed almost complete overlap between common epilepsies and COG, and identified 66 distinct loci shared between these phenotypes.

Massive congratulations Dr Rune Bøen for an amazing defence yesterday🥳 #PhDone

PhDone!👨‍🎓🧠 Wow, what an incredible journey!🎢 I truly enjoyed everything about it, from the beginning to the end. This simply reflects all of the truly brilliant people that surround me every day, both on and off work🙏1/4

Would you believe me if I told you that a single variant in a non-coding RNA explains ~0.5% of all undiagnosed individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) in Genomics England ??? I didn’t initially either, but here is the story of RNU4-2 🧵1/9

New preprint 🚨 Are inflammatory-cognitive subgroups across SZ, BD and HC stable over time? medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Yesterday I defended my PhD thesis and became Dr. Voldsbekk. What a magnificent day! Thank you to the committee Ellen Greimel, Adrienne Romer & Sascha Frühholz for interesting discussions & to everyone else who came to share the day with me. #PhDone

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at
