So honored to receive this support to explore the connections between the oral microbiome and the brain!

[American Psychological Foundation @AmPsychFdn]

We're excited to support @NGancz from @UCLA in her incredible project on stress, the oral microbiome, and mental health through our COGDOP Scholarships! 🦷 We love research that deepens the understanding of mind-body-health connections.💫 #MindBodyHealth #MentalHealthResearch

Come check out my poster tonight to learn more about my favorite topic, the oral microbiome brain axis! #ISDP2024

[Naomi Gancz @NGancz]

Our future work will use longitudinal data and higher-resolution microbiome sequencing to uncover more about the relationship between the oral microbiome and mental health, especially in people with a history of adversity exposure. (7/7)

[Naomi Gancz @NGancz]

Excited to share new work from the @BABLab_UCLA and the Mind, Brain, Body team finding weakened links between cortisol and the oral microbiome, as well as altered bacterial abundance, in kids exposed to early caregiving-related adversity. (1/7)

[Naomi Gancz @NGancz]

All in all, our results suggest that cortisol may regulate oral microbiome richness, but that a history of caregiving adversity weakens that relationship. Adversity also has direct associations with the oral microbiome independently of cortisol. (6/7)

Really excited for this very thorough and clear @washingtonpost write up on @fquerdasi recent @PNASNews paper by @zimmerman082 https://t.co/nRMmkZvdqc with 🔥🔥art by George Wylesol

Had a blast at this year's ISDP meeting, already looking forward to next year in Chicago!

[Naomi Gancz @NGancz]

Excited to announce a new paper, coauthored with @Jordanalevinson and @Dr_BCallaghan, reviewing sex and gender as distinct constructs in human brain-gut-microbiome axis research (https://t.co/JOKgtKSLTo)

[Naomi Gancz @NGancz]

@Jordanalevinson @NIDDKgov @drhunger @DiSH_Lab congrats!

[Naomi Gancz @NGancz]

@SarahCVogel gorgeous! do you have a recipe?

[Naomi Gancz @NGancz]

@Jordanalevinson but they provide the most important nutrient: deliciousness

Such a joy to share my poster on electrogastrography at #AffectScience2023 and to see so many fellow researchers present on their amazing work.
