🚨New paper! We found refined (ultra-processed), low-fiber diets impair the aging amygdala, regardless of fat or sugar, within days. They robustly reduce butyrate and disrupt brain mitochondrial function, especially in microglial. Big team effort! Free: lnkd.in/ge4Dxrv4

@mackey_alfonso Proud and grateful mentor!!! Way to go @mackey_alfonso !!🎉🥳👏👏

So excited to receive an internal OSU grant 🎉 they gave me the max award amount (which is usual). It is a small grant, but I am still so honored nonetheless and every little bit counts! As always, thank you @RBarrientosLab for your continued mentorship and support! ❤️

@NiccoloTerrando @UCSFAnesthesia @NIHAging @DukeU @DukeMedSchool Congrats Niccolo!! Well-deserved!! 🎉👏🏼

Thrilled for being part of this team and reconnected with @UCSFAnesthesia where I did my postdoc. Thank you @NIHAging for supporting this project and hopefully advancing much needed therapies for #delirium and postoperative cognitive complications. @DukeU @DukeMedSchool
