First paper from my PD at @apcmicrobiomeirel.bsky.social out! 🥳
Do you want to know how acute stress enhances synaptic plasticity?
Our latest study shows that the gut microbiota is essential.

Acute stress enhances synaptic plasticity in male mice via a microbiota-dependent mechanism
Acute stress can enhance or impair synaptic plasticity depending on the nature, duration, and type of stress exposure as well as the brain region exam…

This week I presented my work on the characterization of gut microbiomes across southamerican populations at the annual meeting of the Irish Society of Comp. Bio.

Our work won an award & loads of very good feedback 🥳.

Sadly, I had to crop the pic but (hopefully) we will drop a preprint soon
