How does childhood trauma shape the brain? New research from @washumedicine and @PrincetonNeuro reveals how early-life stress can leave a lasting imprint on the brain, increasing vulnerability to stress later in life. @Meaghan_Creed @WashUPain medicine.washu.edu/news/how-…

How early-life stress leaves a ‘scar’ inside brain cells | WashU Medicine

A mouse study finds changes to DNA packaging form a molecular memory of trauma, making the brain vulnerable to future stress.

Our team at WashU Anesthesiology is hiring a post-bac Research Technician to help us understand cognitive changes in chronic pain. Former post-bacs have all earned authorship and gone on to grad or medical school. Please pass this on to your networks! tinyurl.com/ytaxs5wa

My @NIH study section will not meet tomorrow because of the government shutdown. This may seem trivial but rescheduling these meetings will delay funding decisions for months to even a year! Let alone the uncertainty of what the FY26 budget will be. Awful for US scientists! 😓

If I had a nickel for every time a woman named Rosalind got neither the credit nor a Nobel Prize for her work, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Congratulations to our 2024 medicine laureate Victor Ambros ✨ This morning he celebrated the news of his prize with his colleague and wife Rosalind Lee, who was also the first author on the 1993 'Cell' paper cited by the Nobel Committee. #NobelPrize

Fruits of a collaboration with the @Vijay_Samineni lab. Many of the ventral pallidal cell types we know and love (and hack in rodents) are conserved in primates. Lead by Lite Yang with @lisazfang and @VincentCostaPhd. Hopefully the first of many contributions to come!
