@clairefoldi leads a panel discussion with Robyn Brown Kristi Griffiths @TrevSteward on using neuroscience to inform the development of novel treatments for eating disorders #apwmhconf23

Our journal club for researchers will be a regular opportunity for academics & health professionals to get together and critically evaluate peer-reviewed research articles with a particular focus on ECRs. Submit an EOI to join the steering committee ➡ bit.ly/40CYmII

Boom💥new preprint just dropped! #psychedelics activity-based #anorexia, reinforcement learning, behavioural pharmacology + cortical 5-HT1A & 5-HT2A transcription. Led by the inimitable Kyna Conn & Laura Milton 💪🏼 Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute👇🏼 Check it out! 🍄🐁

Happy to share this article Trends in Molecular Medicine on the utility of, and challenges associated with, the model we use in the lab to study the biological causes of anorexia nervosa. Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute BDI Metabolism sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

As follow up on doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… our new preprint on biorxiv Metabolic sensing in AgRP regulates sucrose preference and dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens biorxiv.org/content/10.110… And comes with a computer generated audio summary sciencecast.org/search?query=A…

Reflections on writing about the GLP1 receptor agonists for Science. Guess what? It wasn't easy and there is lots more to say. Requesting open-minded reading! uncexchanges.org/2023/12/28/ref…

They say to “write what you know” but ⁦Felicia Reed & I broke with convention to write about what we don’t know Trends in Pharmacological Sciences. We want to understand whether potential #psychedelic actions in the gut may be relevant for therapeutic outcomes 🤨🍄👇🏼 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very grateful to IBNS for the opportunity to travel to Panama City to present our latest work! Can’t wait😄

Come join us for our first EMCR journal club this Wednesday!

Our understanding of research engagement and capacity within the Australian eating disorder workforce is currently limited. Help us change this by having your say in The Workforce Survey: bit.ly/theworkforcesu… La Trobe University Anita Raspovic Felicia Reed

First empirical #psychedelics study from the lab has been accepted in molecularpsychiatry 🥂! Tune into the “tweets” of the illustrious Kyna Conn for deets of the final story! 😁 Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute #FoldiLab #anorexia

Excited to host Dr Nick Everett next week from Brain & Mind Centre for a seminar that I'm sure will be of cross-cutting relevance to both basic scientists with a penchant for drug discovery and #ECRs with an uncertain future in academia Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute - come join us at Clayton if you can!

Now up is Felicia Reed telling us of the potential role for #dopamine (DA) in the therapeutic effect of #Psilocybin as it increases ventrostriatal DA & binds to its receptors. Psilocybin needed DAReceptor for HTR & 》 DA release re food delivery! DA #FTW #IBNS2024 IBNS

Our understanding of research engagement and capacity within the Australian eating disorder workforce is currently limited. Help us change this by sharing your experience in a short survey. ➡ bit.ly/theworkforcesu… #research #workforce #survey #mentalhealth

Recruiting healthy participants for our pilot study looking at the effects of psilocybin on neural responses to different foods! This pilot will help inform future studies with the view to better understand the application of psilocybin in eating disorders.
