Iiris Hovatta

Professor of Behavioral Genetics studying genetic and neurobiological basis of anxiety @helsinkiuni @HelsinkiUniMed @HYPsykoLogo @sleepwellprgm

[Iiris Hovatta @hovatta]

Our new review in @TrendsNeuro about genetic insights into the neurobiology of anxiety is now out. Co-authored by my talented postdoc Maija Koskinen. https://t.co/s1SUu1c09u

@KundakovicLab @HiLIFE_helsinki @helsinkiuni Thank you Marija! Thought-provoking, inspiring and excellent talk, as always 👏🏻

The first PGC-ANX anxiety disorder GWAS is out. The combined GWAS of 5 major anxiety disorders identified 58 loci.

Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study corroborate the high prevalence of mental disorders affecting children and youths, indicating that more than one out of 10 individuals aged 5 to 24 years globally live with a diagnosable mental disorder. https://t.co/pH9SwXWtV2

Delighted to see this paper out in @CellReports - focusing on the intricate relationship between stress, diurnal rhythms & gut barrier.
Pictured are the dream team of @CassGheorghe @SarahJane_Leigh & @gabriel_tofani with their own disrupted rhythms!

🔵 Noradrenaline directly regulates gene expression in the brain. 8 years in the making, now finally published in @eLife 🥳
During revisions, we added 32 RNAseq samples and a meta-analysis of 71 RNAseqs to rule out major sex differences. #stress

Have you ever wondered whether genetic background influences #OPC function and #myelination in response to glucocorticoids? If yes, have a look at our new paper in @EJNeuroscience in which we investigated this question in an in vitro primary OPC model.

What better event for launching our X Lab page than remembering when our PI @hovatta was awarded "Neuroscientist of the Year" in June 2023 by the Finnish Brain Research Foundation (SATS).

Congratulations once again, Iiris!
