Very excited to share a new review with Dr. Ian Maze born out of my PhD work! 🧠🧬 We dive into how early life experiences shape the epigenetic landscape of the developing brain—and how these lasting changes may contribute to risk for affective disorders.

Early life experiences, the neural epigenome and affective disorder risk — a Review by Ashley M. Cunningham & Ian Maze #neuroscience #neuroskyence www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s official! I’m excited to share that this week I started my postdoctoral fellowship @rockefeller.edu in Dr. Jeffery Friedman’s lab. I’m so greatful for my time and training at Mount Sinai and I’m so excited for this new chapter 🧠✨

🖤 A message from our Board of Directors. As we begin another year of Black In Neuro, our Board reflects on our journey, the road ahead, and the community that makes it all possible. Thank you for being part of this movement. #BlackInNeuro youtu.be/RtcS0yWinTs?...

Huge congratulations to @ashleyonthebrain.bsky.social on her successful thesis defense 🥳 It has been a joy to serve on her thesis committee alongside @dr-autumnivy.bsky.social. We are glad to have you in the community of Black women neuroscientists, Ashley! 🧠✨

🎉Save the date! Black In Neuro Week 2026 is July 27–Aug 2. We're celebrating our 6th annual BIN Week with returning favorites like #NeuroRacism, #NeuroAcrossTheDiaspora, and #BINRollCall plus a brand new theme: #BlackInTime. ✨ 🧠 #BINW26 #AReimaginedFuture

Today’s the day. It’s wild to think 6 years of work all comes down to defending my PhD today. Nervous, excited, and really proud of everything this journey has taken to get here. 🤍

I have always struggle with asking questions at scientific talks. Is this a stupid question? Did they talk about this and I completely missed it? But there’s no such thing as a stupid question! And if you’re brave, your thoughtful question might be recognized! 🤗 🧠✨

Hi! I’m well overdo for a 🦋 intro so here we go: I’m Ashley, a 5th-year PhD student @MountSinai in the Maze & Nestler labs & a DSPAN fellow ✨ Studying epigenetics in stress & mood disorders from two directions: 1️⃣ Transgenerational stress in dads 2️⃣ ELS effects on serotonin & histone serotonylation 🐭🧬

Excited to be at my first #ACNP2024 and on Bluesky!! I’m an Instructor at Mount Sinai and will be presenting my postdoc work examining long-lasting effects of pregnancy on maternal brain and behavior! Stop by my poster Monday (M252) and say hi!! 👋🏼
