@ko3600 Thanks!

@Der_Scientist Super cool work! Congrats!!

New paper out from the lab! We find complementary roles for dorsal and ventral hippocampus in cognitive flexibility (1/2): science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

ventral CA1 (vCA1) responds to perseverative errors and is functionally required for adapting to a rule change, whereas dorsal CA1 (dCA1) stabilizes newly learned information after an initial, vCA1-dependent adaptation phase. (2/2)

The discovery paves the way for a new type of antidepressant that inhibits the chemical (SGK1). “Current antidepressants are often less effective for people with a history of childhood adversity," says the study's leader @Der_Scientist. Read more: cuimc.columbia.edu/news/brain-che…

Very grateful especially to the fantastic collaboration with @SilveiraPP , @JPablo_Neuro, @LudmerCentre, and Milenna van Dijk!

New paper from our lab out this week! We show that hippocampal SGK1 links early life adversity, stress, and genetic risk to depression, and that inhibiting SGK1 promotes resilience, boosts neurogenesis, and rescues dentate gyrus function. Link ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s4138…

Our new paper is out in ⁦@npp_journal⁩ showing female-specific effects of early adversity on stress reactivity, adult neurogenesis, and neuroinflammtion across development, and how they can be rescued by raphe 5HT1A knockdown and increased serotonin! nature.com/articles/s4138…

Had such nice time in Mainz @ #RESILIENCE2024 - great, interdisciplinary science, top-notch entertainment. Europe really knows how to do it! Great hanging out w/ @Der_Scientist @clbockting . What an amazing night w/ fantastic band, food adventure, everyone dancing! @joeribordes

@IsslerOrna @BBRFoundation @NYULH_Neuro Congrats! 🎊🍾

@anacker_lab Congratulations, Maryam! So well deserved!

Huge congratulations to our fantastic postdoc Maryam Hasantash for receiving a 2024 NARSAD Young Investigator Award to study neural circuits of stress susceptibility and resilience! #BBRFoundation

Ok so we didn’t take an official panel photo but we did manage a Texas BBQ one thanks @Der_Scientist. So honored to be a part of this #SOBP2024 crew: hearing amazing science, making new friends, & eating like it’s a Philly meat trough. Thanks Victor & Nesha for the invite!

Such a great experience being part of this fantastic panel on Teen Mental Health and the role of social media last week! Great initiative by @_HDRF and @BoysClubNY

Check out our new paper by Twitter-less John Bickle showing that activating 5-HT1A (hetero-) receptors in the dentate gyrus inhibits neuronal activity and confers resilience to social defeat stress in mice! ⁦⁦@anacker_lab⁩ ⁦@Der_Scientist⁩ biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-…

Come chat with Travel Awardee @lauren_malave about her fascinating Postdoc work tonight at 5pm during the poster session at T35! #ACNP2023

@martinowk @HopkinsMedicine Congrats! 🍾

All the feels after receiving official notice that I was promoted to Full Professor @HopkinsMedicine. I am so grateful to so many people for helping me get here and all the amazing opportunities and resources that I have been afforded

@denisejcai @SinaiBrain Congrats!!🍾

I am thrilled to have received tenure at @SinaiBrain. I am beyond thankful for the support from my incredible lab members, mentors, colleagues & family - I wouldn’t be here without my amazing community. Grateful for this milestone and excited for the journey ahead!

Check out this new paper by @MilennavanDijk in collaboration with @Der_Scientist showing that Dentate Gyrus microstructure in humans is associated with vulnerability and resilience to maternal stress exposure! Great translation of our rodent findings into human populations.

Such a stimulating meeting discussing science and project ideas with the team of @UnivParisSaclay and @MOODS_Inserm at @ColumbiaPsych . Thanks @DrChristineAnnD and @DenisJDavid for organizing such a great day!

Such a fantastic comprehensive paper from @MitoPsychoBio lab characterizing stress effects on mitochondria across the brain. So happy to have been part of this great collaboration!
