Bummer that @zachtpennington.bsky.social is missing #ACNP2024 due to stomach flu. But be sure to check out his discovery about how the anterior hypothalamus codes stress 👇 This is one of the most important, surprising, and exciting findings I've been a part of!
❓ Do you know what the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) does? No? Neither did we! 🧠 In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability. Read the paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/6)
Found my happy place at #ACNP2024. Past lab undergrad @cate-cholamine.bsky.social PhD @chanjenerational.bsky.social and postdoc @themorrisonlab.bsky.social 🤩🤩 So lucky 🍀 to have worked with so much brilliant science talent 🥰🥰🥰
Got to listen to this session with some pretty fantastic scientists too! Cc @kundakoviclab.bsky.social @themorrisonlab.bsky.social Jennifer Chan @ashleyonthebrain.bsky.social @ornaissler.bsky.social
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!! 👋🏼
We are officially on the ground in Phoenix so it's time for the #ACNP2024 role call 📣 Introduce yourself, your science, tell us if you're a veteran or first-timer, promote your poster/talk/favorite social - whatever you want, this is your space to say it ⬇️
