Excited to share Laila’s @LailaOuldibbat first first-author paper & the very first “metabolic” paper from the lab just published at @HormBehav .
"The role of ovarian hormone dynamics in metabolic phenotype and gene expression in female mice"

Thrilled to share my perspective in @_TheTransmitter on how to study the influence of "sex" and "gender" in the brain in a scientifically accurate and socially responsible manner:
"Revisiting sex and gender in the brain"

Couldn’t be more proud! Huge congrats to Devin Rocks @DrocksNeuro for receiving the @SBNTweets New Investigator Award for his PhD thesis work on sex-specific effects of Egr1 on chromatin, synaptic plasticity and behavior. Such nice talk and so well deserved award! #SBN2024
The work behind my PhD thesis is now out as a preprint! Thanks to the coauthors Eric Purisic, @gallolab, @greally, @masako_suzuki, and especially my mentor @KundakovicLab for making this possible 🙏 It was an incredible project to call my thesis, see below for the 🧵!
In our new lab preprint, led by @DrocksNeuro , we introduce the first sex-specific immediate early gene, Egr1! Egr1 opens neuronal chromatin sex-specifically, with consequences for targeted gene expression changes, synaptic plasticity and behavior🧵 👇

Last @FordhamNYC Magazine highlights 20 recent star alumni, 2 of my students: Devin Rocks @DrocksNeuro (now @WCMPsychiatry ) & Sonola Burrja (now @EinsteinMed ), with their research on women's health. Couldn't be more proud! ⭐️ ⭐️ 🥹 ❤️
I am extremely excited to share our Feature Review in @TrendsNeuro :
"Epigenetic mechanisms underlying sex differences in the brain and behavior"
https://t.co/ZSoOt0qFpw
Thrilled to share our paper:
Early-life stress and ovarian hormones alter transcriptional regulation in the nucleus accumbens resulting in sex-specific responses to cocaine
Now published at @CellReports . A thread👇

The end of an era in the Kundakovic lab as we say goodbye to Devin @DrocksNeuro ⭐️🥹. And Happy Birthday to Maria @mariatickerhoof ! Stay tuned for all the cool stuff to come out of the great work these young people are doing! @LailaOuldibbat
Dissertation defended! It was a surreal experience to put together all these years of research and to celebrate with the lab & family. So fortunate to have @KundakovicLab as
my mentor and looking forward to taking what I’ve learned from you to a postdoc and beyond!
Dear all, let me present to you Dr. Devin Rocks @DrocksNeuro ! Having you as my first PhD student was immense privilege. Feeling so proud for what you accomplished so far and can't wait to see what you will do in the future! Next- postdoc at Conor Liston's lab @WeillCornell ! 🌟
.@KundakovicLab on why estrous cycle matters...although females are not more variable than males - this does not mean that the e cycle doe matters for understanding E/P effects on certain regions (ie HPC), gene expression, or behaviour https://t.co/afDfcXg0jw.
I am very excited to share a new preprint from my lab:
Early-life stress and ovarian hormones alter transcriptional regulation in the nucleus accumbens resulting in sex-specific responses to cocaine

There was no sign of a teen mental illness epidemic until around 2012. Then liberal girls' rates started increasing. Then everyone else. Why? @glukianoff nailed it: Reverse CBT, as I explain here:
