Another labour of love from the Galea lab - this time on why examining *across* & *within*-sex factors matter to propel research into effective treatments for psychiatric & neurodegenerative disease written w @bonniee_leee @nifti12 @eid_rand Travis Hodges

📢 @UofT students and faculty, are you writing a grant or scholarship application? Come to our #SexAndGender in research workshop! Scan the QR code below to register!

I am so excited to share my research on how oral contraceptives affect the stress response and modify risk for depression. Please stop by if you’re interested in women’s health, hormones, stress, or mood disorders! Session starts @ 2pm and I present @ 4pm CT in S102 🧠

@SfNtweets Please attend our mini-symposium tomorrow if you want to learn all about the neuroscience of hormonal contraceptives: 2PM in MCP S102 💊🧠 #SfN #sfn2024 #SfN24 🧠💊 @neurokaty @ismail_nafissa @TronsonLab @kristen_schuh @HellerCarina @sarahkheloui

Beyond #SABV #SGBA to understand consequences on women's🧠health - we need to understand how HCs impact the brain. So if you are at #SfN2024 check out this symposium tomorrow with @JesseMLacasse @TronsonLab @ismail_nafissa @neurokaty @HellerCarina Ami & Sarah

Thank you @SfNtweets #SfN24 @_BrightFocus for the Trainee Professional Development Award! Grateful for the opportunity to share my work on the impact of a past pregnancy experience & AD risk on functional connectivity 🧠 See you at Poster C17 tonight & B87 tomorrow morning!

Very grateful to have received the Trainee Professional Development Award to attend #SfN24! I’m presenting my poster NOW until 8:30 pm (F12) and Monday 8 am-12 pm (L2). Come say hi!

I’m not at #SfN24 but some of the lab are there. chronic stress increases negative cog bias across sex but influences activity of new neurons in males, Apoe4 genotype affects functional connectivity differently across & within sex after learning in mid age! Check it out.

So excited to be at #SfN24 in Chicago! Come check out some of the latest work from the Galea (@LiisaGalea) Lab today 🥳 👉 @XinyiLin_Andrea at Poster C35 from 1-5pm 👉 @anamchuk (Poster F12) and I (Poster C17) at tonight’s Early Career Poster session 6:30-8:30pm

Absolutely thrilled to be at #SfN24 in Chicago!!! I will have a poster presentation on “the complement system may regulate hippocampal plasticity and influence cognition by sex andAPOE genotype”. Catch me at Board C35, Hall A from 1-5pm today. Stop by if you are curious :)

Very happy and proud to share our new review in JNeuro on the Neuroscience of Hormonal Contraceptives 🧠💊🔬 https://t.co/8C15bKeRU5 @LeunerLab @HellerCarina @TronsonLab @ismail_nafissa @kristen_schuh @sarahkheloui + Ami Raval @SfNtweets @SfNJournals

Pregnancy has long-lasting effects on the brain but did you know these effects might differ depending on a genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease? 😮 Check out this new study led by Cluster member @bonniee_leee! Read the full paper here: https://t.co/8QSHW4nwLl

Often* fun!! Join us 😊

Big congratulations to our stellar team on this new publication in @LiebertPub! @LiisaGalea @carmenlogie @anamchuk @tallinnsplinter & Katherine Moore! Reminder that moving the needle towards health equity for 2S/LGBTQ+ people involves examining health funding! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

🌟 New Publication Alert 🌟 Our latest research reveals major funding gaps in #2SLGBTQI health studies by CIHR, highlighting the urgent need for more inclusive and comprehensive healthcare research. Read the full paper here 📖: https://t.co/BHxnQW8krD

Very grateful for the support from @ResearchonWH to attend my very first @SfNtweets this October!

So happy this is finally out! A HUGE thank you to all my co-authors 🙏 This work really highlights that more research on female-specific experiences on brain health is urgently needed! You can read the full article here ☺️

It was such a privilege to spend this week at #OSSD24 in beautiful Bergen, Norway learning about some of the incredible sex and gender science being done around the world! Tusen takk for a great meeting @OSSDtweets, already looking forward to next year!
