A big shoutout to Nataliia Kozhemiako, Jun, ChenGuang! To the fantabulous LUNA Shaun Purcell. A great collaboration with Mei, Dara S. Manoach Michael Murphy, Zhenhe, Wei and many others here in Boston and in Wuxi, China. #sleep Sleep Research Society, Broad Institute Stanley Center

Congrats to all!

Congratulations to the team!

Targeting combination of circuits treats noise sensitivity in #autism mouse model. Halassa suggests future treatments could consider neurological and psychiatric disorders as a combination of circuit deficits. bit.ly/35Q0Nuy MIT Science Stanley Center Neuron

Researchers studying genetic data from 200,000 people have found that #PTSD has as strong of a genetic component as other psychiatric disorders. broad.io/GeneticPTSD

New research from @KarestanKoenen and colleagues at the Stanley Center suggests that the heritability of #PTSD is similar to that of depression and other forms of mental illness. go.nature.com/2M1Vb8E

Directors of Stanley Center, FIMM HelsinkiUni and FinnGen meeting with presidents and directors of Xi’an Jiaotong University and Affiliated Hospital to discuss future psychiatric #genetics and #biobank collaboration.

Congratulations to Jeff Cottrell and the team!
