I am incredibly proud of @IsslerOrna and our collaborators for this new work using integrated human-mouse investigations to understand the molecular mechanisms of sex differences in depression. This exciting discovery has inspired my very first "tweetprint". Here we go…🤞🏼

In this study, we show marked baseline sex differences in expression levels of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the depressed human brain and establish one such lncRNA, which we term FEDORA, in contributing to depression in females only. Friedman Brain Institute science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to share some of my postdoc work with Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD where we combine heroin self-administration in mice with RNAseq to generate a comprehensive, reward circuit-wide dataset of transcriptional regulation relevant to multiple aspects of OUD. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congratulations to the great Emily Teichman who won the Smitty Stevens Memorial Race #WCBR!!! 🐐

Winter Conference on Brain Research First Place Outstanding Poster goes to THE Ashley Cunningham (Ashley Cunningham, MSc 🧠) 🐐🍾

I am thrilled to share our latest paper out in Science Advances! Together w/ Ashley Cunningham, MSc 🧠, Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD, et al. we found that #CocaineUseDisorder suppresses neuroinflammation & disrupts gene networks involved in neurotransmission. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We show that the molecular abnormalities in humans with CUD also occur in mice that self-administered cocaine. This supports the value of mouse models to better understand and treat CUD.

Fantastic collaboration with Dr Deborah Mash , director of the Brain Endowment Bank! A huge thank you to all authors involved in this study Joseph Scarpa, Aarthi Ramakrishnan, Emily M. Hicks (Kozik), Sarah Bolnick, Susanna Garamszegi, Li Shen.

Check out our new paper out in Neuron today! 🎉 Great work led by twitterless Arthur Godino and friends in the Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD lab! Friedman Brain Institute cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

✨HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Dr. Lyonna Parise on her well-deserved appointment to Instructor! A member of the #RussoLab & #BrainBodyCenter, Dr. Parise’s research involves investigating neuroimmune mechanisms involved in #PsychiatricDisease. CONGRATS!👏 #DiverseBrains Scott Russo

📢📍The Martínez-Rivera Lab focused on (Mal)adaptive & Neurobehavioral Plasticity is opening this summer/fall at University of Florida Department of Neuroscience UF McKnight Brain Institute. We'll be hiring at all levels, please share! Academia might not be perfect, but it gave me purpose in life. 🙌🏽 💫💎☀️🎉🐊

I am very excited to announce my first, first author publication. A major thank you to Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD & Eric Parise for their support with this. I look forward to hearing opinions and comments regarding our proposed advancements!

Extremely proud to share this work with mastermind Bowen Tan and Tobias Nöbauer representing an awesome collaboration across the labs of Vaziri Lab, Jeffery Friedman, and Eric J. Nestler, MD, PhD now out in Science Magazine. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Check out our latest preprint unveiling sex-specific regulation of stress susceptibility by the astrocytic gene Htra1, shedding light on the crucial role of the extracellular matrix. Huge thanks to coauthors and supporters for making this possible! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my graduate school experience has been TAing Friedman Brain Institute’s Effective Science Communication (ESC) course. It has been a safe space for develop as a communicator and scientist, while also providing long lasting relationships.

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. Friedman Brain Institute sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 We explore the role of E2F3a in regulating cocaine reward at sex- and cell-specific levels in the nucleus accumbens. Read more on our findings below. Thanks to all co-authors and supporters for their contributions! 💎💎😊🙌

We are delighted to see the publication of the 6th Ed of Charney & Nestler's Neurobiology of Mental Illness by Oxford Press.
