Had a wonderful end of summer lab party to celebrate success in the lab. Sarah defended her MSc, Alina and Royce won graduate scholarships, Jamila and Katherine won Summer research awards, and McKenna, Alina, & Jamila were selected for oral presentations at the CLAE CERI symposium this Fall.

🚨New lab publication is out!! 🚨
In this work we reveal that astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell type, are responsible for the effects of stress and that targeting these cells completely rescued the effects of stress on neuronal activity and behaviour!
Huge congrats to Lewis!!

A divergent astrocytic response to stress alters activity patterns via distinct mechanisms in male and female mice - Nature Communications
Early-life stress has lifelong impacts on neuronal function and behavior. Here, the authors show that astrocytic glucocorticoid receptor signaling drives stress-induced neuronal and behavioral change ...

Investigating the Polygenic Relationship Between Cannabis Use and Schizophrenia in the All of Us Research Program
Objective Decades of research have identified a strong association between heavy cannabis use and schizophrenia, with evidence of correlated genetic factors. However, many studies on the genetic relat...

Increased excitability of dentate gyrus mossy cells occurs early in life in the Tg2576 model of Alzheimer’s disease - Alzheimer's Research & Therapy
Background Hyperexcitability in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is proposed to emerge early and contribute to disease progression. The dentate gyrus (DG) and its primary cell type, granule cells (GCs) are im...
