@Adam_Guastella @lyoun03 @dsquintana @GeriDawson @Synplexity @pe7en7 @mds49 @liz_pellicano @AJOWhitehouse Best congrats! All the best

And my colleagues interstate and abroad @lyoun03 @dsquintana @GeriDawson @Synplexity @pe7en7 @eandari24 @mds49 @liz_pellicano @AJOWhitehouse and the many that are twitterless.

Thanks to the @AustPsych for the Distinguished Contribution to Psychological Science Award for 2021. It would not be without my mentor @ian_hickie, brilliant team, collaborators (below) & the enormous opportunities provided at @BrainMind_Usyd @westmeadkids @schf_kids .

Happy to share a new commentary w @Charles53738010: Refining oxytocin therapy for autism: context is key! OXT must be paired w behavioral therapy, next generation drugs needed! Response to recent negative OXT clinical trial in NEJM. rdcu.be/cCQYs

Excited to be at #ACNP2021! Listening to Mathew Rushworth s talk and I am looking forward to present new results on autism and oxytocin today at Poster session!

@ACNPorg @DrZoePhD @DrJenniStevens @vas_phd Best congratulations Zoe 🎉🎉!! Very well deserved! All the best

Congrats to the #ACNP2021 NEECA Award recipient @DrZoePhD, recognized for the top paper from an early-career researcher. View her paper rdcu.be/cA9Vs acceptance video bit.ly/2YxCL8O and nominator video from @DrJenniStevens & @vas_phd bit.ly/3C3MVvq

@Adam_Guastella @lyoun03 @Spectrum @dsquintana Exactly! We will publishing soon our dose studies and I hope it will provide some scientific bases for the choice of doses in future trials -

@eandari24 @lyoun03 @Spectrum @dsquintana I am all for big clinical trials but not conclusions that don’t acknowledge limitations and advances needed to make the evidence more precise.

Intranasal oxytocin ineffective for autism in large trial spectrumnews.org/news/intranasa… via @Spectrum But important caveats to consider! OT is not a vitamin, it doesn't work like an ACE inhibitor. Harnessing the salience effect is key! w/comments from @Adam_Guastella and @dsquintana

Prosocial behavior that benefits others—such as helping, sharing, and comforting—is a crucial force that helps unite our society. We are excited to share our new study of a neural circuit that regulates prosocial comforting behavior @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158…

@TheHongLab @Nature Beautiful work and concept! Emotional empathy is definitely a key for unity and is much needed in our society. Congratulations!

@JaeggiAdrian @lyoun03 @fierysynapses @STsoory @RealAdamHunt Had shown previously that OT plasma levels correlate with extroverted personalities in neurotypicals - Andari et al 2012 - nothing new on my end regarding OT and neurotypicals traits - but might have sthg new on OT in ASD - will keep you posted

@JaeggiAdrian @lyoun03 @fierysynapses @STsoory @RealAdamHunt In the Emory sample of 40 participants with ASD (adults), I found lower levels of salivary oxytocin compared to neurotypicals - in line with what I found earlier in a French sample in Andari et al 2010- and in line with your meta-analysis @jaeggiAdrian -

@Constantinatheo @AmelieBorie Thank you @AmelieBorie & @Constantinatheo! I am very proud of this chapter - it was a great pleasure working with you both!

@sirileknes @S4SNeuro @evolbrain Best Congrats 🎉!!

Happy to be officially elected as the next president of Society for Social Neuroscience @S4SNeuro, following current president @evolbrain Especially happy that the board supports our plans to champion #OpenScience & #Credibility practices! New poster formats, awards etc coming 🥳

The oxytocin system is one of the most promising system to target in Autism Spectrum Disorders for future biomarkers and treatments. bit.ly/3u8ZK4n #AutismAwarenessWeek @npp_journal @eandari24 Check out other Hot Topics in the latest NPPR issue go.nature.com/2PEqpH8

Exposure-wide studies, using high-resolution exposomics, are poised to revolutionize the study of environmental contributors to risk for psychiatric disorders. rdcu.be/ca9nQ @vasopressin334 @GaryWMiller3 #mentalhealth #DiseaseRisk

Marion Leboyer, Nouchine Hadjikani, Helen Mayberg, @kaymtye, @LisaMonteggia, @Nancy_Kanwisher, Sue Carter, @DulacLab, Catherine Rice, @TheNeumannLab, @SarahLisanbyMD, and so many other names that led to the foundation of so many disciplines.

And she is now the director of the institute of research in Lyon! When she is in a conference everyone wonders about her talented questions and ideas :) I have known or heard of so many great women scientists .. it’s really about the quality of science we do!

My PhD advisor was a very strong talented woman Angela Sirigu and we published together a quite influential paper with more than 900 citations. When I was in Lyon France and deciding which lab to join in 2007, her lab was one of the most successful and known lab in the area!
