Excited to see this study from @darshanakapri out in @npp_journal showing norepinephrine regulates mitochondria within hippocampal neurons via a β2-AR–Gs-cAMP–PKA-PGC-1α cascade, suggesting links between NE effects on mitochondria and cognition. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

1/ 🚨 New preprint! 🚨 Excited and proud (& a little nervous 😅) to share our latest work on the importance of #theta-timescale spiking during #locomotion in #learning. If you care about how organisms learn, buckle up. 🧵👇 📄 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 💻 code + data 🔗 below 🤩 #neuroskyence

Glad to see this published "Postnatal and juvenile fluoxetine treatment evokes sex-specific, opposing effects on mood-related behavior, gene expression, mitochondrial function, and dendritic architecture in the rat medial prefrontal cortex" doi.org/10.1016/j.bi....

Awhile back we started a Slack group for psychedelic science. Researchers used it to organize meetups and panels at conferences. We discuss papers, including a lively discussion now of the Lu et al. preprint. DM @mikaelpalner.bsky.social or I if you work in academia and want to join

Vital to profile India's genetic diversity - as the authors said - "The demographic history of India is also unique, with exposure to different environments and widespread admixture, followed by formation of numerous endogamous groups". www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Mapping genetic diversity with the GenomeIndia project - Nature Genetics

The rich ethnolinguistic and sociocultural differences that exist in India offers a unique opportunity to study human diversity. With the whole genomes of 10,000 healthy and unrelated Indians from 83 ...

Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) has been used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine as an 'adaptogen' that boosts stress resilience, but the cellular mechanisms and key beneficial bioactives that drive putative neuroprotective effects remain unclear..

Join us on April 9 at @theneuro.bsky.social for a must-attend event on sex- and gender-based analysis plus (SGBA+) in neuroscience research with experts @liisagalea.bsky.social (@camhnews.bsky.social) & @rpjuster.bsky.social (@umontreal.ca). Come discuss & network! 👐 Register now: mcgill.ca/x/i3G

Psyched that we got the green light for a new Gordon conference on #psychedelics in 2025! #GRCPsychedelics Save the date: 7/13-7/18/2025 at Bryant University in Rhode Island. Look forward to organizing with Vlad Vyazovskiy @viditavaidya.bsky.social @melissaherman.bsky.social

Time for me to start posting here! Check out our Feature Review @ Trends in Neurosciences: "Epigenetic mechanisms underlying sex differences in the brain and behavior" Extremely proud of this piece - we did our best to make it as comprehensive & inclusive as possible! www.cell.com/trends/neuro...

Thanks for highlighting our (@polybiotique.bsky.social) report and its coverage by @dyanilewis.bsky.social, Izzy. As we mention in our report, fixing this will require clearly earmarked resources, and importantly, the will and strong commitment to equity from the leadership in Indian academia.

A shocking description 👇🏾 of how women are being let down by scientific research communities in India. This is of course only mirroring many of the trends that we know exist everywhere else too. The 📊 showing conferences where women are outnumbered or excluded entirely leaves one absolutely appalled.
