Several GLP-1R agonists are approved for adult weight mgmt. Trials also show benefit for adolescent obesity. If this pans out, we need to know how GLP-1R agonists affect the developing brain. Our lab’s preprint describes our efforts toward this goal. 1/7 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Effects of repeated developmental GLP-1R agonist exposure on adult behavior and hippocampal...

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists are common type 2 diabetes medications that have been repurposed for adult chronic weight management. Clinical trials suggest this class may also be...

@AlbanyMed is where I got my first psychiatry experience as an ER tech, and where my grandma worked as a medical librarian. I will contribute to inpatient psychiatry care, resident and med student education, and research. Can't wait!

Overall, it was interesting to find that these changes in adulthood may be limited to specific behavioral domains, rather than global changes. The full dataset is posted with the paper. Congrats to twitterless first author Catherine Cerroni on her first first author ms! 7/7

What are ER docs thoughts about caring for people with psychiatric and/or SUDs in the ED? Where do they perceive barriers to care? I asked them here @vumc_emres, with a goal of enhancing clinical collaboration with @VUMCPsych @VUMChealth sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New preprint from our lab @VUMCPsych @VanderbiltBrain @Vanderbilt_KC @VUMCResearch on GLP1Rs in mossy cells. Focused study but we think may be important for endogenous control of MCs in different satiety states. With @LabNobis @TheBurro34 @jebiddinger biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
