Excited to share some great press on my laboratory’s tremendous efforts to unravel the interaction of stress and fluctuating sex hormones. Thanks #Labroots #neuroscience #CUNY https://www.labroots.com/trending/neuroscience/24321/stress-menstrual-cycle-interact-affect-social-behavior/amp
Stress and the menstrual cycle interact to affect social behavior

Pexel by Fotos da Lua We know stress and sex hormones affect neuron signaling and excitability in diverse ways across the brain. Half-measure research appr

@biorxivpreprint Congrats to postdoc Julie-Anne Balouek on her latest manuscript! This is the first paper from only my lab which we are so proud to share for your holiday reading.
We find that neurons activated by #earlylifestress are preferentially *reactivated* by adult stress, particularly in NAc, and that quieting this hypersensitivity at a cellular level also ameliorates behavior #inmice

About last night..
Joint Peña and Mallarino Labs holiday party was a success! Complete with 100+ tamales, queso, guac, a white elephant exchange, and trivia (and one properly labeled ethanol container)
