JUST dropped! Neuron review with Matt Birnie on the evolving neurobiology of early-life stress. Where is our field? what are our challenges? where and how do we move forward? www.cell.com/neuron/fullt... would love your thoughts🧠🧪 @cp-trendsneuro.bsky.social @cate-cholamine.bsky.social

Do we really understand childhood adversity? In Dr. Tallie Z. Baram’s study @ucirvine.bsky.social, funded by NIH and NIMH,
@talliezee.bsky.social discovered that unpredictability is itself a significant form of early-life stress. Advocate for this critical research: impact.uci.edu/research/
