Very excited to share my first PhD work from @NESTLab_UJI !🥳We find sex-specific differences in response to early-life stress regarding social and aggressive behaviors and a key role of SST+ neurons in the amygdala👇Thanks to all the team but especially to my PhD supervisor @neuroesther.bsky.social

This is why representation matters. This is why programs that support women in STEM (or any male dominated space) is important. I wish more men had this perspective and respect for their female peers.
