#EBBS2025

It has been a wonderful experience attending #MNS2025 in lovely Crete to participate in a symposium of stress, sharing table and discussions with amazing scientists. And thanks to the scientific committee for the presentation award, I am very grateful ☺️ looking forward to the next conference!

People with social disadvantage, during both early and later life, have an increased risk of 66 age-related diseases mediated by 14 age-related proteins, according to a paper in Nature Medicine. https://go.nature.com/4ifgD6T #Medsky 🧪

Excited to present the latest from the lab out today in Cell www.cell.com/cell/fulltex.... See Thread! 1/8

delighted to share our work revealing a new type of excitatory hippocampal neuron we call the "ovoid cell", which has really exquisite properties relative to adjacent pyramidal cells! superb work of first-author @adriennekinman.bsky.social and many others in the lab

Distinct hippocampal feedback pathways to deep and superficial layers of the cortex in mice differentially modulate excitation-inhibition dynamics, plasticity, and cognitive behavioral output 🧪🧠

Multiple developmental switches in mPFC-NAc and mPFC-BLA pathways that underlie developmental transitions in threat avoidance behavior revealed by circuit dissection in juvenile, adolescent and adult mice mice 🧪🧠

New lab paper in collaboration with Nick Gilpin's lab.

We examined the distribution of CRHR1 expressing neurons within the basolateral amygdala, their integration in circuits emanating to NAc and CeA and their reactivity to stress. sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is why representation matters. This is why programs that support women in STEM (or any male dominated space) is important. I wish more men had this perspective and respect for their female peers.

And yes, it’s a real letter: www.today.com/today/amp/td...

Very excited to share my first PhD work from @NESTLab_UJI !🥳We find sex-specific differences in response to early-life stress regarding social and aggressive behaviors and a key role of SST+ neurons in the amygdala👇Thanks to all the team but especially to my PhD supervisor @neuroesther.bsky.social
