Leading in STEM used to be such a point of pride in American patriotism. We were proud to be the first on the moon, to the atom bomb. When did that change? We want cures for diseases like AIDS, obesity, cancer, Alzheimer's and we want to get there first. Why can't we tap into that?

SO EXCITED to share our latest work demonstrating that the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) regulates stress vulnerability!!!
❓ Do you know what the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) does? No? Neither did we! 🧠
In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability.
