❗New publication by Sowmya Narayan, @mathiasvschmidt.bsky.social and their team! 😔 Stress in early life affects our brains - but the way it affects our brains seems to be fundamentally different for males and females. 🔗 Find out exactly what these differences are: tinyurl.com/y6etxfup

Trauma-induced changes in the brain differ significantly between males and females
Using a translational mouse model, researchers demonstrate how early-life stress alters the brains of male and female mice in different ways.

Der Autor & Puppenspieler Nikolaus Habjan @nikolaushabjan.bsky.social zeichnet darin die Lebensgeschichte von Friedrich Zawrel (1929-2015) nach, der als Kind das „Euthanasie“-Programm der Nationalsozialisten in Wien überlebte. Als Erwachsener steht er seinem Peiniger Heinrich Gross erneut gegenüber.

Für das Max-Planck-Institut für Psychiatrie @mpi-psychiatry.bsky.social ist es wichtig, immer wieder an die eigene, schwierige Geschichte zu erinnern. Wissenschaftler und Ärzte haben sich damals schuldig gemacht und wissentlich an Gehirn-Präparaten von ermordeten „Euthanasie“-Opfern geforscht.
