Extremely excited & proud to share our new preprint - we provide for the first time a single cell map of the mouse brain across sex, the estrous cycle, and peripartum! Data are 🔥 👇 "Single-cell map of the female brain across reproductive transitions" www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Ending 2025 w/ our new paper @natcomms.nature.com which shows that the immediate early gene Egr1 induces sex-dependent changes in ventral hippocampal (vHIP) structure and in anxiety- & depression-related behavior, via direct regulation of chromatin structure 🧵👇 1/ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Molecular drivers of sex-specific brain plasticity are unknown. Here, authors show estrogen-driven Egr1 controls chromatin accessibility sex-dependently, driving gene expression, structural plasticity...

Excited to have my piece on perimenopause published @thetransmitter.bsky.social "Perimenopause: An important—and understudied—transition for the brain" We need more studies & better education -we need this to be mainstream- knowledge is power! #WomensHealth www.thetransmitter.org/sex-hormones...

Perimenopause: An understudied transition for the brain
We know little about the mechanisms underlying well-known perimenopause symptoms in the brain. More research—in animals and humans—is essential.
