Thanks Lizzie! Forgot to post π« but this work is extra specialβ¦ the last project led by @kynaconn.bsky.social before she left the lab to follow her new path. Well done mate, and thanks to all the legends who contributed to this work ππ»
1/8 π§΅ Breaking: Groundbreaking study drops in Psychedelics!
Psilocybin's effects on social behavior & inflammation in female mice modeling anorexia nervosa? TOTALLY context-dependent on metabolism & exercise. Explains why only ~40% respond in human trials. Implications for personalized therapy!
After a busy semester of teaching it is so nice to be at the Biological Psychiatry Australia Conference. First up today is @foldi.bsky.social and team with the development of a 'library of animal models', which sounds like a fantastic resource for researchers studying clinical symptoms/disorders
Hey bsky-ers! New preprint from the lab on #psilocybin & social behaviour in #female mice in contexts relevant to eating disorders (food restriction, exercise & combo of) by PhD student Sheida ππ¦
Incredibly proud of @kxhuang.bsky.social for persisting with such a challenging dataset from her PhD! We found some intriguing genetic targets in a corticostriatal circuit that may be involved in the development of #anorexia nervosa π€ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
A starter pack including all attendees (that I can find for now)
Please let me know if I missed anyone!
