🎆 New year - new podcast !! 🎆
Our 1st conversation of 2025 features @EKaltsouni, who shares how her research has influenced her holistic perspective on premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) & why a multimodal network approach is needed to understand this disorder 👩🧠🌟

Have fun 🇨🇱🎉🙌
Currently in Santiago de Chile, Universidad del Desarrollo, to foster the collaboration with researchers of the Stress and Emotion Laboratory, Faculty of Psychology. It is great to introduce the research of our lab - there is so much overlap. @ps_jsilva
If you want to learn more about asexuality, you may visit the AVEN website (asexuality.org/?q=overview.h…) or The Trevor Project (thetrevorproject.org/resourc…).
intensity.
It is important to note that asexuality is not a medical condition! While a loss of libido for example can indeed occur due to underlying psychological or physiological health reasons, asexuality is a sexual orientation and an identity.
Asexuality is a spectrum with many different identities and micro-labels, such as demisexuality, where people only experience sexual attraction after a strong emotional connection was formed, and graysexuality, where people feel sexual attraction only very rarely or at a very low
Therefore, asexuals may experience romantic without sexual attraction, while aromantic people do not experience romantic attraction, even though they may feel sexual attraction.
It needs to be differentiated from celibacy, i.e., the choice to abstain from sexual activity.
The asexual community often refers to the split attraction model, in which romantic and sexual attraction (as well as others such as aesthetic attraction) are separated.
The Asexual Visibility & Education Network (AVEN), one of the largest community-based online resources regarding asexuality, describes an asexual person as someone who is not drawn to people sexually and does not desire to act upon attraction to others in a sexual way.

Each month an #egg is ovulated from the #ovary, starting the journey of reproduction. But how does ovulation occur?🥚
Our latest work in @NatureCellBio led by @LastChrisThomas and @Tabea_Marx, describes the control of #ovulation using live imaging.

Great news! Our postdoc researcher @acskimmig has just published a new paper using an adapted version of the Tübingen Empathy Test, now suitable for assessing empathy and emotional reactivity also in mixed-sex clinical samples.
Excited to share our latest study on empathy impairments in autistic individuals using the Textual Empathy Test (TET)! Findings show reduced cognitive & affective empathy, mediated by altered emotional reactivity. Read more here: link.springer.com/article/10…
