New preprint🥳
An evolutionary timeline of the oxytocin signaling pathway https://t.co/HIGbiFff8k
We show that ancient oxytocin pathway genes support cellular processes in humans. More recent genes sustain adaptive functions, bone preservation & are upregulated in the brain.

Is anyone else submitting abstracts for
#OHBM2025 getting persistent payment declines? I've tried 4 payment methods and two browsers. Nothing seems to be going through :( @OHBM any official guidance? Thanks!

[Alina Sartorius @am_sartorius]

Last day today at #ohbm2024 ! Come and see me at my poster number 2115 to discuss the evolution and cerebral expression of oxytocin signaling pathway genes 🤓

[Dan Quintana @dsquintana]

If you’re at #OHBM2024, check out @am_sartorius’ poster describing her recently published work on cerebral expression and evolutionary annotation of the oxytocin signaling pathway 👇

Long-term social isolation can negatively impact health. Recent work suggests that even a few hours of isolation may have negative consequences by disrupting vital internal regulatory mechanisms. @AnaStijovic @SilaniLab https://t.co/uJGd0W2eRP

New article led by @am_sartorius in @CommsPsychol on the hidden toll of social isolation https://t.co/yyihvUdkij

New preprint! 🎉 https://t.co/B8CTNFkyI0

Oxytocin is known for its role in social cognition, but are its effects exclusive to the social domain? To help answer this question, @heeminkng led a meta-analysis (and created a web app!) investigating oxytocin's non-social effects 🧵

My second PhD paper is out today in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience🥳 Based on covariance in functional brain networks, we derived replicable dimensions of psychopathology in a developmental clinical sample. [1/9]

Thrilled to share our new paper assessing the brain-based gene expression patterns of genes linked to #AnorexiaNervosa in @molpsychiatry.

We just finished our lab’s first ‘paper in a day’ event in collaboration with @nifti12 🎉 Together we wrote over 5000 words today!

Great job @am_sartorius, @nifti12, @heeminkng, Emilie Kildal, Ben Glaser + @kristin_aud (joining us remotely)

[Dan Quintana @dsquintana]

Our new paper on brain-based gene expression of putative risk genes for anorexia nervosa is now online in @molpsychiatry 🎉 https://t.co/gtEOcvrDUv

@_DaniBeck Please stop calling me out.

[Lars T. Westlye @larswestlye]

Two open postdoc positions in our group! Interested in mental health in youth, risk/protective factors, and brain imaging? Attractive Norwegian benefits and work conditions, strong international network and interdisciplinary environment. @SFFNORMENT @Psykologiskinst 👇

@RashaShanaz @jarekrokicki @nifti12 @AnnMariedeLange @MaritHaram @oleaandreassen @DvdM33r @larswestlye @Constantinatheo @dsquintana Thank you! 😄 I mainly used Adobe Illustrator and ggplot in R, and a little bit BioRender.

@DrStuartBMurray Thanks a lot! 😃

Forgot to mention!
In case you are interested in taking a deep dive into the methods of our preprint -- all the supplementary materials, code and links to the publically accessible data are available in the corresponding OSF project here: https://t.co/9OTwLO13V5 🤓

@_DaniBeck It's a nightmare. I thinnnnk the new LotR-related series on Netflix has some BIPoC, but still mainly white. That's something, but still disappointing.

[Alina Sartorius @am_sartorius]

I shouldn't be laughing so hard about this on a Sunday morning.

More ancient genes facilitate basic cell & organism functions. We provide a link between the emergence of the jaw/bones & the OT pathway. The role of the OT system in social behavior may not have been an initial function but evolved later when environmental demands required it.
