🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨 @brainsbeesbikes.bsky.social and I examined how acute oral THC influences the neural mechanisms of cognitive reappraisal in PTSD using fMRI. Compared with placebo, 5 mg and 10 mg THC reduced recruitment of prefrontal control regions during negative emotion reappraisal shorturl.at/m9Ihr

Last week the @pact-lab.bsky.social colluded with my family to throw a surprise roller rink party to celebrate my promotion 🎉 [Temporarily overlooking their ease in lying/deceiving me in the planning of this event] I am incredibly grateful to work alongside this team 💪
‼️ 📝 It's time for a PaCT Lab publication round up! 📝 ‼️ What has the lab been getting up to in the past year or so (other than many great meals together)? See this thread ⬇️
Very happy to hear the news last week about receiving a CIHR CPRA Fellowship!! And thank you to my wonderful mentor @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social as I am sure a large reason of why my application was competitive was because of the excellent training and resources she has been providing ✨
CONGRATS to postdoc @ryanntansey.bsky.social on receiving a Canada Postdoctoral Research Award from CIHR (and scoring in the top 5%!) 🎉 Ryann is the neuroimaging lead on our team & this fellowship will support her in exploring impact of psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy using MR spectroscopy 🧠 🍄
I love my lab 💞 very grateful to be part of such a wonderful & productive group of scientists!!

Environmental context can shape how our brains function! 🌟New work🌟 led by all-stars @niaberrian.bsky.social and @monicarosenb.bsky.social shows that environmental exposures in youth are reflected in brain networks that keep our attention focused! 🧠🌲 #neuroskyence #PsychSciSky #devpsy #neuroimaging
New preprint out! We show that the exposome and attention-related brain networks jointly predict attention problems in early adolescence—highlighting how environment and brain function have shared and unique associations with reported attention problems. medrxiv.org/cgi/content/...
🛰️ 🌍 We have done a write up on the first ever OHBM Satellite Meeting, organized by the SEA-SIG in collab with OHBM!! This meeting was a great success, and we're excited to open the doors to more sustainable ways to connect with other OHBMers in the future ✨ Check it out here! ⬇️
Kalc and Rae et al. present the first @ohbmofficial.bsky.social virtual satellite conference, demonstrating how online formats can improve accessibility and sustainability for scientific meetings: doi.org/10.52294/001... @ohbmenvironment.bsky.social
I will be presenting much of the cannabinoid work I have been doing in the Mental Health and Addiction Program Rounds. My talk "Pharmacological Manipulation of the Endocannabinoid System" ties together my work with @mayoonthebrain.bsky.social and my current work with @brainsbeesbikes.bsky.social

I'm so happy this is finally out! My first empirical paper from my postdoc, and my first time wading into fMRI in a clinical sample. See inside: FAAH inhibition may not have done anything beyond exposure CBT in PTSD, but the DLPFC may play more of a role in treatment response than we thought...? 🤔
Congrats to @pact-lab.bsky.social postdoc @ryanntansey.bsky.social on her recent paper looking at the impact of elevated anandamide via FAAH inhibition on brain function in patients with PTSD What does it do? Well....not much 😬 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
