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!

In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability.

Chronic postpartum stress disrupted these adaptations. We then found changes in hippocampal dopamine. The Maze lab previously discovered H3 dopaminylation, which uses dopamine as a histone mark. Could this be the epigenetic mechanism underlying such lasting effects?
