Happy to share a new commentary w @Charles53738010: Refining oxytocin therapy for autism: context is key! OXT must be paired w behavioral therapy, next generation drugs needed! Response to recent negative OXT clinical trial in NEJM.

@Adam_Guastella @lyoun03 @Spectrum @dsquintana Exactly! We will publishing soon our dose studies and I hope it will provide some scientific bases for the choice of doses in future trials -

Prosocial behavior that benefits others—such as helping, sharing, and comforting—is a crucial force that helps unite our society. We are excited to share our new study of a neural circuit that regulates prosocial comforting behavior @Nature https://t.co/w7o1iffAkP

@TheHongLab @Nature Beautiful work and concept! Emotional empathy is definitely a key for unity and is much needed in our society. Congratulations!

@JaeggiAdrian @lyoun03 @fierysynapses @STsoory @RealAdamHunt Had shown previously that OT plasma levels correlate with extroverted personalities in neurotypicals - Andari et al 2012 - nothing new on my end regarding OT and neurotypicals traits - but might have sthg new on OT in ASD - will keep you posted

[Elissar Andari @eandari24]

@JaeggiAdrian @lyoun03 @fierysynapses @STsoory @RealAdamHunt In the Emory sample of 40 participants with ASD (adults), I found lower levels of salivary oxytocin compared to neurotypicals - in line with what I found earlier in a French sample in Andari et al 2010- and in line with your meta-analysis @jaeggiAdrian -

The oxytocin system is one of the most promising system to target in Autism Spectrum Disorders for future biomarkers and treatments. https://t.co/bkGhtRjmcu #AutismAwarenessWeek @npp_journal @eandari24 Check out other Hot Topics in the latest NPPR issue https://t.co/8jiQY3vqOa

Exposure-wide studies, using high-resolution exposomics, are poised to revolutionize the study of environmental contributors to risk for psychiatric disorders. https://t.co/vfF20lt9cB @vasopressin334 @GaryWMiller3 #mentalhealth #DiseaseRisk

My PhD advisor was a very strong talented woman Angela Sirigu and we published together a quite influential paper with more than 900 citations. When I was in Lyon France and deciding which lab to join in 2007, her lab was one of the most successful and known lab in the area!

[Dr. Anita Autry @anitaautrydixon]

I have worked with amazing female mentors, @LisaMonteggia and @DulacLab. Checked today and was delighted to see that two of my papers with @LisaMonteggia have over 1000 citations.

[Elissar Andari @eandari24]

And she is now the director of the institute of research in Lyon! When she is in a conference everyone wonders about her talented questions and ideas :) I have known or heard of so many great women scientists .. it’s really about the quality of science we do!
