Neuroscience. Locus Coeruleus and Noradrenaline.

During moderate tonic locus coeruleus activation in mice, noradrenaline release engages cortical regions related to associative processing, while burst-like stimulation biases the brain toward sensory processing nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

🔵 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 Please RT elifesciences.org/articles/8…
🚨🔵🚨 Our work on stress-induced gene expression changes mediated by #LocusCoeruleus #noradrenaline has now been reviewed by @eLife !🥳🤩 We got constructive and positive feedback 🙏, and we're tackling those pesky sex effects once more #revisions elifesciences.org/reviewed-p…

🔵 In 2016 I wrote a grant, in which @MattiaPri and I asked a simple question: Stress triggers massive transcriptional changes, which of them are dependent on noradrenaline (NA) signaling? Today, we have the answer. But boy was this a journey. 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

New Nature paper provides evidence that science has become less innovative since the 1950s. The authors suggest reversing the trend by: 1. reading widely, 2. focusing less on quantity of papers, & more on research quality, 3. taking year-long sabbaticals. nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Wild new research tool alert!🤯If you plug a research question into elicit.org, it uses AI to not only find relevant papers but pulls out ANSWERS from the papers. Adding to my list of things that would've changed the game at the start of my PhD #AcademicTwitter

Our multiomic screen of the changes triggered by acute #stress in the hippocampus is now out in @NatureComm 🥳 Don't miss the wild preprint trailer👇and follow the 🧵 to find out what has changed during the review process. We added (and removed!) a lot! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
🚨PREPRINT ALERT🚨 Our latest work provides a multiomic dissection of the molecular changes triggered by acute #stress. It comes with an interactive app that will make stress researchers jump with joy! Thread and a wild trailer by @Osturmscience below 🔊👇biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
