New paper: We show that especially female mice benefit from moderate early life adversity under stressful situations in adulthood. This pro-resilient effect requires the psychiatric risk factor FKBP51, which turns out to be also required for adaptive stress responses. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Early life stress can induce lasting changes in brain function and behavior. Here, authors show that glutamatergic FKBP51 specifically in females mediates adaptive stress effects on anxiety and cognit...

Happy to comment on this cool study in mammals and the parallels with our own work in #Drosophila!

Dopamine ‘gas pedal’ and serotonin ‘brake’ team up to accelerate learning

Mice learn fastest and most reliably when they experience an increase in dopamine paired with an inhibition of serotonin, a new study shows.
