🚨Registration for the N American stress meeting is now open!!🚨 Really excited to be part of it and host the event in the @crchum.bsky.social in Montréal this June! www.stress2026.com/registration

Scientific program chairs @rcbagot.bsky.social and @markcembrowski.bsky.social have put together a great program: can-acn.org/meeting-2026... - Now is your chance to contribute also!

Had a great time visiting USyd! Thanks for hosting me @nataliematosin.bsky.social

Wonderful visits, highlighted the need for face-to-face interactions. Cant wait for all our upcoming collabs 🙌 thanks for carving time out to come see us @drcricru.bsky.social @nikosdaskalakis.bsky.social @rcbagot.bsky.social

Happy to announce our new paper in Nature Communications: rdcu.be/eBpGY We show how CRH in the thalamic reticular nucleus modulates NREM sleep, helping to understand how stress impacts sleep Congrats to Loredana Cumpana and team, in work led by Simone Astori! @epfl-brainmind.bsky.social‬

Corticotropin-releasing hormone modulates NREM sleep consolidation through the thalamic reticular nucleus

Nature Communications - Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), known for activating the HPA axis during stress, also acts centrally in the brain. Here, the authors show that CRH modulates thalamic...

Sam Weiss speaking #unfiltered at the CAN-ACN EDI session. Make more jobs for Canadians! @canacn.bsky.social

To all those descending onto Toronto for the @canacn.bsky.social annual meeting, as program chair I hope you have an exciting meeting and enjoy our featured speakers @franklandlab.bsky.social @yulonglilab.bsky.social @neurovoice.bsky.social @turrigiano.bsky.social and Kerry Ressler #CAN2025

#resilience2025 fantastic speaker line-up: Andrew Holmes, Moh Milad, Dominique de Quervain @dequervain.bsky.social, Birgit Kleim, Rose Bagot @rcbagot.bsky.social, Floris Klumpers, Patricia Molina @pmolinamolina.bsky.social, Marianne Müller, Penny Lewis, Niels Niethard @nniethard.bsky.social, ...

Sharing a new paper from the lab. This paper, led by Sangyoon Ko, represents a merging of two longstanding research themes in the lab-- adult neurogenesis and systems consolidation. rdcu.be/el18q A short thread follows for those interested. 1/n

Systems consolidation reorganizes hippocampal engram circuitry

Nature - A study shows that loss of memory precision associated with systems consolidation can be explained by neurogenesis-dependent reorganization of engram circuitry within the hippocampus over...

If you are in Toronto on Tuesday next week, please consider coming to see a FREE public lecture on memory, delivered by the amazing @sjo09.bsky.social and @barense.bsky.social . Tix at this link can-acn.org/meeting-2025... Please repost and hope to see you there!

Really excited to share this new preprint led by senior PhD student Liz Herrera Portillo who is co-supervised by @rcbagot.bsky.social !! We use longitudinal MRI to show that mice exposed stress undergo sex-specific neuroanatomical reorganization. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Whole brain dimensional approach identifies shared and sex-specific networks of stress susceptibility in male and female mice.

Background: Stress is a significant risk factor for depression and anxiety, two highly comorbid disorders with sex differences in symptom presentation and prevalence. The Chronic Variable Stress (CVS)...

Excited to share that I’ll be starting as a postdoc in @rcbagot.bsky.social’s lab at @mcgilluniversity.bsky.social, studying the neural mechanisms of psychedelics ✨🐁🌀 Grateful for this new adventure into the unknown.

Thrilled to see this part of my PhD work with @rcbagot.bsky.social now out in @natcomms.nature.com! (1/14) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Reward integration in prefrontal-cortical and ventral-hippocampal nucleus accumbens inputs cooperatively modulates engagement - Nature Communications

Neural circuit mechanisms underlying integrating information about reward across time are not fully understood. Here, the authors show that common outcome-integration signals from the medial...

Our latest work led by @claraliao.bsky.social is a collaboration with the other Kwan lab @kwanlab.bsky.social We used single-nucleus RNA sequencing to measure transcriptional responses in the mouse medial frontal cortex following a single dose of psilocybin. 🍄 🧠 🧬 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New lab preprint ! There is a lot of excitement about the therapeutic potential of psilocybin but what is the mechanism? A beautiful body of work from @alexkwan.bsky.social shows that PFC plasticity is important. But how does this unfold and in which cell types? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
