Data from the Global Burden of Disease Study corroborate the high prevalence of mental disorders affecting children and youths, indicating that more than one out of 10 individuals aged 5 to 24 years globally live with a diagnosable mental disorder. ja.ma/43I8nG0

Delighted to see this paper out in @CellReports - focusing on the intricate relationship between stress, diurnal rhythms & gut barrier.
Pictured are the dream team of @CassGheorghe @SarahJane_Leigh & @gabriel_tofani with their own disrupted rhythms!

🔵 Noradrenaline directly regulates gene expression in the brain. 8 years in the making, now finally published in @eLife 🥳
During revisions, we added 32 RNAseq samples and a meta-analysis of 71 RNAseqs to rule out major sex differences. #stress

🚨🔵🚨
Our work on stress-induced gene expression changes mediated by #LocusCoeruleus #noradrenaline has now been reviewed by @eLife !🥳🤩
We got constructive and positive feedback 🙏, and we're tackling those pesky sex effects once more #revisions

Have you ever wondered whether genetic background influences #OPC function and #myelination in response to glucocorticoids? If yes, have a look at our new paper in @EJNeuroscience in which we investigated this question in an in vitro primary OPC model.

What better event for launching our X Lab page than remembering when our PI @hovatta was awarded "Neuroscientist of the Year" in June 2023 by the Finnish Brain Research Foundation (SATS).
Congratulations once again, Iiris!
