PhD student @uktuebingen and @the_EGG_lab @MPI_CBS | it's all about sex hormones and the brain

[Carolin Lewis @Car0Lewis]

Happy to see the final paper of my PhD thesis published 😊

[Nils Kroemer @cornu_copiae]

Out now @SciReports:

We show that women (vs. men) work harder & report higher wanting for small, but not large rewards.
Work led by @Car0Lewis w/ @MelinaGrahlow @anne_kuehnel & @DerntlLab

New preprint! In this study, we investigated how our familiarity with faces affects the neural coding of face sex, i.e. male and female faces. [1/6] https://t.co/ET3vgGiFGc

[Carolin Lewis @Car0Lewis]

We found that women compared with men work harder for small rewards, using an instrumental effort task. Want to read more?

Women & men show differences across various domains of value-based decision-making, but what about instrumental effort?
We see that women work harder & report higher wanting for small rewards. Men catch up for large rewards. Work w/ @Car0Lewis et al

It seems quite a lot of people have tested positive for Covid after returning from #OHBM2022

Was it related to the two big parties? Let’s find out:

Have you been to the Student/Postdoc party and/or Clubnight?

And all the best to everybody testing positive 🍀

[Michael Hanke 🐘 @[email protected] @eknahm]

With #OHBM2022 coming to a close, what impact had COVID? Please share widely! Thx!

[Carolin Lewis @Car0Lewis]

@KarstenMueller6 Great team effort with @KarstenMueller6 🙂

The effect of a single dose of #escitalopram onto brain function in the #ventral #striatum presented at #OHBM #OHBM22 #OHBM2022

In our most recent paper, we found that oral contraceptive use had no impact on value-based decision-making. Check it out and also find out how to substantiate null findings

At this year's #OHBM2022, @Car0Lewis is going to present how trans identity impacts neural correlates of self-other referential processing. We can't wait to tell you more about that!
Only two more weeks to go. See you @OHBM in #Glasgow! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Trans Actual @TransActualUK]

Having an understanding GP is not guaranteed. 57% of UK based trans people told us they avoid going to the GP when they feel unwell, and 14% have been refused treatment by a GP because they're Trans.

@webmorph_org Great, thanks! :)

[Carolin Lewis @Car0Lewis]

@webmorph_org May I ask why? We were currently using webmorph for a study :(

[Nils Kroemer @cornu_copiae]

I am thrilled to announce that @DerntlLab and yours truly @neuroMADLAB have received a @dfg_public grant to study metabolic scaling and endocrine modulation of reward prediction errors.

The project will include continuous glucose monitoring, gamified RL, & fMRI

[Affective Functioning, Hormones and the Brain @DerntlLab]

For our study on #face #perception we are still looking for participants and we would be happy if you consider to participate.

Requirements:
* at least 18 years of age
* German language proficiency

You can participate from the comfort of your home here: https://t.co/hsFGyp1W2U

[Affective Functioning, Hormones and the Brain @DerntlLab]

With one of our ongoing studies, we hope to shed a light on #transgender people, who are still highly underrepresented in medical and psychiatric studies.
So, if you are a transgender person and fit our other criteria (see below) please consider writing us an email, thanks!

[Affective Functioning, Hormones and the Brain @DerntlLab]

Join us tomorrow:
@LydiaKogler will present data on positive self-instruction during situations of evaluation.
@Car0Lewis will present data on modulation of reward processing with SSRIs.
Ann-Christin Kimmig will present data on sexual appetence and female sex hormones.

btw: I am presenting these results at this years @PuG2021online tomorrow, June 3rd, 8:30 am in this symposium https://t.co/pFGWrhW7ut

[Carolin Lewis @Car0Lewis]

Coming back from mat leave and see that this baby is also out! *proud* We found that a single oral dose of escitalopram blunted the neural response during monetary loss. Check it out https://t.co/6JwPS0prUP @JNeuroscience

[JPN @JPsychNeurosci]

The brain responds differently to reward and loss. SSRIs affect neural processes, but do they affect reward and punishment processing? Read more in #research by @the_EGG_lab @Car0Lewis @RachelGZsido @KarstenMueller6 @OkonSinger @forbes_erika @arnovillri https://t.co/r4FGtdi0jC
