Excited to see this study from @darshanakapri out in @npp_journal showing norepinephrine regulates mitochondria within hippocampal neurons via a β2-AR–Gs-cAMP–PKA-PGC-1α cascade, suggesting links between NE effects on mitochondria and cognition. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Glad to see this published "Postnatal and juvenile fluoxetine treatment evokes sex-specific, opposing effects on mood-related behavior, gene expression, mitochondrial function, and dendritic architecture in the rat medial prefrontal cortex" doi.org/10.1016/j.bi....

Awhile back we started a Slack group for psychedelic science. Researchers used it to organize meetups and panels at conferences. We discuss papers, including a lively discussion now of the Lu et al. preprint. DM @mikaelpalner.bsky.social or I if you work in academia and want to join

Vital to profile India's genetic diversity - as the authors said - "The demographic history of India is also unique, with exposure to different environments and widespread admixture, followed by formation of numerous endogamous groups". www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Withania Somnifera (Ashwagandha) has been used for centuries in Indian traditional medicine as an 'adaptogen' that boosts stress resilience, but the cellular mechanisms and key beneficial bioactives that drive putative neuroprotective effects remain unclear..

Thanks for highlighting our (@polybiotique.bsky.social) report and its coverage by @dyanilewis.bsky.social, Izzy. As we mention in our report, fixing this will require clearly earmarked resources, and importantly, the will and strong commitment to equity from the leadership in Indian academia.
