NEW RESULTS in Alzheimer's & Dementia: Although dementia and depression share many overlapping symptoms, our analysis of a sample of 343 older adults found no region-to-region connectivity patterns that predicted both depressive and cognitive symptoms https://t.co/oDxpaKoeWL

@schleifer_c Congrats!!!! ✨✨

Dopamine ≠ reward but turns out, also not the learning molecule we thought.

If DA RPE is the emperor, this work SCREAMS it was running naked all the time.

This paper got quite some attention recently. Let me explain why it is so relevant.

Here is my toy model and notes:

[Antonija K. @A_Kolobaric]

Could microbial pathways shape sex-specific vulnerability to mood disorders during puberty? Our new preprint suggests they might: in adolescent girls, but not boys, gut microbiota mediates the link between depression risk and adrenarcheal development.

Oh. My. God. Look. At. This. Data.

11 million women w recurrent uti.

If using vaginal estrogen

73% less MORTALITY
51% less SEPSIS
22% less hospitalizations

📉 the graphs don’t lie

@Dr_Elise_De should get a Nobel prize for this work

When I started writing this paper, my grandma still remembered my name. By the time I submitted it, she no longer knew who I was. I hope this small scientific advancement brings us closer to a world where no one has to be forgotten by someone they love. https://t.co/oDxpaKoeWL

This paper couldn't be possible without the immense support of my outstanding mentors, @KarimH349 @carmen_andree & @neuroeldin and many amazing collaborators, including @AGerlachPhD, @BellaverBruna, @TharickAPascoal et al. Thank you, team!

NEW RESULTS in Molecular Psychiatry: late-life cognitive dysfunction and depression have an overall biological effect detectable through gut microbiota. Could our gut microbiome hold the key to noninvasive diagnosis & prognosis? https://t.co/WTWVk9oxkq
