Our @anandgururajan @jfcryan paper "Volatility as a Concept to Understand the Impact of Stress on the Microbiome" is finally out in PNEC! We’re absolutely delighted with it! Here is a 🧵 with some highlights 1/n
Volatility as a Concept to Understand the Impact of Stress on the Microbiome - Congrats to @Thomazsan & @anandgururajan for leading the charge on this exciting new paper in mice🐭 and human volunteers👨🎓 -just out in Psychoneuroendocrinology https://t.co/oeoXNpeBub

Special Issue on the Microbiome in Health & Disease just out in The @FEBSJournal with reviews from leaders in the field. https://t.co/kWopB0YbDU Great to have another Lab Cover Image too -inspired by @gabriel_tofani review on microbiome in stress & circadian rhythms

@gabriel_tofani @Cell_Metabolism @jfcryan @UCCpsychiatry @SarahJane_Leigh @CassGheorghe @Thomazsan @LarsWilmes @Paromit43595284 Fascinating about the L. reuteri! Very interesting publication, congratulations. Circadian rhythms are so very critical to health and to outcomes of surgical interventions and other treatments, etc. We need so much more research on this. Good luck with this important research!

We have two open PhD positions at the Laboratory of Translational Psychiatry at the University Hospital Frankfurt! Come join @daslattery and me in investigating what makès mice aggressive and/or impulsive. Details in the post below:
Come work with @AetOleary & I in the vibrant & international city of Frankfurt. We are looking for two motivated students to assess the aetiology of aggression & impulsivity using multiple behavioural & molecular approaches. Full details in the jpeg & https://t.co/EWw8iMepfI

#Stress & #Circadian systems are interconnected thru HPA axis to maintain responses to external stimuli. Mechanisms of signal orchestration are unknown. @gabriel_tofani, @jfcryan, et al. @UCC uncover #Gut #Microbiota as regulator of HPA-axis rhythmicity 👉 https://t.co/0167b6ewtV

Delighted to share our study on sex-specific gut microbiota signatures of gut-brain phenotypes induced by early life stress available now at @NeurobiolStress with coauthors @LarsWilmes @valentinacapu15 @Thomazsan @pauldcotter @TedDinan @jfcryan @UCCpsychiatry @somahony1 !
Delighted our paper on the role of #sexspecific gut #microbiota signatures in #resilience to #earlylifestress is out. I’m incredibly proud of our team’s hard work and dedication in advancing this field. Thank you everyone and @NeurobiolStress
