Some chemicals disrupt synapse formation in fetal brains causing neurodevelopmental disorders. Work from the Litwa lab @Brain_Maker led by @EastCarolina grad researcher @RileySci published in @molpsychiatry say the phytochemical sulforaphane can protect. https://t.co/yy9J9t0R63
Riley Bessetti of @CityofMadison Wisconsin, studies the molecules sulforaphane, found in broccoli and Brussels sprouts, and cannabidiol (CBD), and their benefits for brain development — using "mini brains" (organoid models). https://t.co/jtzwYia6su
Some amazing neurochemistry was shared in this building last week at #ISNESN2023 thank you @ISN_society for the ability to network and meet other trainees like @schlotterose who I have had the pleasure to explore Porto with the past few days.
So excited to represent @ECUBrodySOM and the #LitwaLab
at the 2023 ISN-ESN meeting in Porto, Portugal this August. Thank you @Brain_Maker for your support and @ISN_society for my travel award!
