Have you used the term "depression-like" in your mouse or rat study? We are of the opinion that the term is used often inappropriately and much more rigor needs to be applied for valid and meaningful #translational #psychiatry. Just out in molecularpsychiatry rdcu.be/cVzhr

Please RT! Are you postdoc with an interesting project to talk about? We want to hear from you! IRCM is lunching the 2nd edition of early-career scientists seminar series. We invite selected candidates to Montreal - all expenses paid! ircm.qc.ca/en/news-detail…

📢The Torres-Berrío Lab is opening this summer‼️ I'm delighted to join the great team of the Lurie Center for Autism at MassGeneralNeuroscience, and the Department of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School. 👩‍🔬My Lab will study epigenetic mechanisms of stress and neurodevelopment in mouse models.

🔥🔥Hot off the press! If you are interested in adolescence, social defeat stress, "resilience" and "susceptibility" , and differences between males and females, check our paper in Biological Psychiatry doi.org/10.1016/j.biop…

How does an experience in adolescence produce vulnerability in some individuals, but the very same experience can have no effect on others? I am super excited to share our new study doi.org/10.1038/s41467… 1/6

This work was led by Lauren Reynolds Dr. Lauren Reynolds , is a collaboration between the Cecilia Flores and Jeremy Day lab, and had significant contribution from Giovanni Hernandez and from a very strong team 2/6

We show that amphetamine in adolescence dysregulates Netrin-1/DCC signaling, inducing ectopic growth of mesolimbic dopamine axons to the prefrontal cortex 3/6

This miswiring occurs only in male mice and mediates vulnerability to enduring harmful cognitive outcomes 4/6

In females, there are active compensatory processes involving Netrin-1, which protect them against deleterious effects of on dopamine and cognitive development 5/6

Thanks to our sponsors NIDAnews, CIHR, NSERC / CRSNG and to Douglas Research Centre , McGill Psychiatry 6/6

Congratulations!!!

It made my day too!!!

Very happy to have visited the amazing ENES Juriquilla in Mexico and to share and discuss my work with very brilliant undergraduate and graduate students

Announcing our paper on peripheral miRNAs! academic.oup.com/biomethods/art… An international collaboration w/ brilliant scientists like Alice Morgunova, Tiffany Cheing Ho, Ph.D., Corina Nagy, Anthony Gifuni, Gotlib Lab. Thanks to Fondation Douglas | Douglas Foundation for the support! Anticipating more discoveries to come

Explore the work of the Cecilia Flores and their investigations to understand microRNAs’ role in psychiatric disorders and their value as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, in this interview with Cecilia and Alice Morgunova! biotechniques.com/interview/micr…

And we are off! The second annual ELePHiNt conference is underway at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry under the Munich sunshine ☀️

We are proud to announce the publication of a new study by Dr. Angélica Torres-Berrío 🇨🇴👩🏻‍🔬🧠🧬🚴🏻‍♀️ in Neuron which characterizes a novel role for H3K27me1 as a "chromatin scar" in nucleus accumbens that contributes to long-lasting sequelae of chronic stress.
