Very happy and proud to share our new review in JNeuro on the Neuroscience of Hormonal Contraceptives 🧠💊🔬 jneurosci.org/content/44/40/…

My lab is hiring 2 postdocs on a NIH-funded grant characterizing molecular & cellular changes in the human brain across menopausal transition. Other neuroepigenomics projects are also available. We plan to hire a wet lab scientist & a bioinformatician. Please RT!

Belated post, but we have 2 new papers out! 📑 We used a cross-over design to study emotion regulation & fear learning during menstrual cycle phases, OC use, and IUD use. A short 🧵1/4

Beyond #SABV #SGBA to understand consequences on women's🧠health - we need to understand how HCs impact the brain. So if you are at #SfN2024 check out this symposium tomorrow with @JesseMLacasse @TronsonLab @ismail_nafissa @neurokaty @HellerCarina Ami & Sarah

This review was born out of a collective effort from a group of incredible HC researchers who will all be presenting during a minisymposium on this very topic at the upcoming @SfNtweets next week.
If you plan on being at @SfNtweets in Chicago and want to learn about all the cutting-edge neuroscience research on hormonal contraceptives, please attend our minisymposium! Monday, Oct 7 @ 2-4:30PM MCP: Room S102

Excited to share our research which found that the menstrual cycle and oral contraceptive pill cycles (2 generations) had minimal impact on 20+ common cardiovascular outcomes & cellular regulation. Important considerations for female inclusion in biomed research. @ajpheartcirc

postdocs and about-to-be-postdocs! we are still accepting postdoc applications for the Translational Neuroscience of Drug Addiction T32 here at UCLA. if you're interested in working on neuromodulation, neuroendocrinology, or neuroimaging and drug addiction, please reach out! 🧠⚡️

📢Up to 30% of women in their reproductive years experience menstrual cycle irregularities. We investigated the impact of a prolonged menstrual cycle on hippocampal morphology in one participant 🧠 Our new paper is now published in #npjwomenshealth @Nature_NPJ @NaturePortfolio🚨

I’m so excited that our team (six clinical psychologists!) were able to contribute this dimensional measurement approach to reproductive psychiatry via @molpsychiatry! The most exciting thing is the potential for better phenotyping/ measurement to uncover unique targetable biotypes.
Applications to other reproductive transitions coming soon 👀 👀 👀
My and @eisenlohr_moul's Dimensional Affective Sensitivity to Hormones across the Menstrual Cycle (DASH-MC) framework has been published in @molpsychiatry! We aim to reshape how we study and treat #PMDD, #PME, and other forms of hormone sensitivity. 🧵

🚨Check out our new preprint on the role of the estrous cycle in shaping synaptic, dendritic, AND population level plasticity in hippocampus! I'll save a full rundown for publication, but so happy to see my thesis work out in the world 😊
The estrous cycle modulates hippocampal spine dynamics, dendritic processing, and spatial coding biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_neursci
I am pleased to announce that the Education Team @COGSresearch will be hosting its first live webinar on July 22nd. This webinar will feature Dr. Adriene Beltz discussing the integration of sex and gender into behavioral neuroendo. Sign up today! Link ⬇️
I am honoured and so incredibly grateful to have been selected for the New Investigator Award by the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology. Thank you @SBNTweets

Our second New Investigator Awardee is @JesseMLacasse--talking about the effects of hormonal contraceptives in adolescent and adult female rats 🐀♀️🧠 #SBN2024
Congrats to @DrocksNeuro for also being selected for a 2024 New Investigator Award 🔬🏆
Thank you @BrainCanada ! 🧠💊 – at Pelham, Ontario
Congratulations to Jesse Lacasse for receiving a Dr. Hubert van Tol Travel Fellowship! Jesse's research studies the link between major depressive disorder and hormonal contraceptive use. #RiseandShine #RisingStarTuesday

Researchers in Canada got most of what they were hoping for in the country’s 2024 federal budget, with a big boost in postgraduate pay and more funding for research and scientific infrastructure go.nature.com/4azQ8Ft

Does our metabolism change throughout the menstrual cycle, or in the different pill phases of oral contraceptive use? 🧐 Cluster member @jennyswilliams investigates this hot topic in her latest work! 🏃♀️🔍
