⚖️ Long-range homeostatic signaling between the nervous system and other tissues is mediated by endogenous bioactive peptides
👵understand how peptidergic signaling systems are regulated in the brain, how they mediate inter-tissue communication, and how they change with age

[Brain-Body Interactions @BrainBodyInter1]

Interested in the role of neuropeptides for longevity? Join us on Tuesday with Dr. Jennifer Garrison @jenngarrison to talk about "Bioactive peptides as mediators of systemic aging" 🧶

[Brain-Body Interactions @BrainBodyInter1]

Dr. Jessica Tollkuhn's lab studies:
▶️ mechanisms of 🧬 regulation that specify behavioral diversity
▶️ how nuclear hormone receptors modulate 🧬 in 🧠 at single-cell res.
▶️ how these processes influence development + activity within circuits that mediate social behaviors 👭

[Brain-Body Interactions @BrainBodyInter1]

💡behavioral fatigue can persist even after the toxicity associated with cancer recover
💡 @EGVichaya will present data that suggest that
limit metabolic resources during cancer promote utilization of habit-based behavioral strategies that serve to maintain fatigue behavior

▶️ Cancer-related fatigue is a prominent and debilitating side effect of cancer and its treatment
▶️ both peripherally and centrally processes may contribute: metabolic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, pre-cachexia, and inflammation.
