SPARED researchers show delayed sleep disruption reduces conditioned fear in male & female mice, substituting for extinction training (rdcu.be/dStKU).  Potentially beneficial effect?

The leadership also wanted to honor the mentors, and specifically highlighted Dr. Brian Kangas as a star faculty member who has consistently demonstrated commitment to the MMHRSP, his mentees, & science education. This award was presented in honor of the late Dr. Elena Chartoff.

Today we were honored to feature and celebrate the 8 trainees that successfully completed the McLean Mental Health Research Summer Program (MMHRSP). They truly blew us away with their talks and we know they will go far!! @McLeanHospital @harvardbrainsci @harvardmed

We were thrilled to have @denisejcai here today to talk about recent preprint work on memory linking across time. Beautiful data and what a great talk! @McLeanHospital @harvardmed

We are so pleased to welcome Dr. Nicholas Gilpin @The_Gilp for our second in-person @McLeanHospital Neuroscience Seminar series to talk to us about the #amygdala as a hub for traumatic stress effects on alcohol-related behaviors. @harvardmed

We were honored to have @BrenhouseLab here today as part of McLean's Celebrating Women in Medicine & Science Month! She spoke elegantly about her work on early life adversity and pubertal timing, and gave career advice to trainees on campus. #McLeanSpared #WomeninScience

🚨 Researchers @AtSpared show that early life adversity in mice leads to long-lasting effects in a mouse version of a human reward task: "Early life stress in male mice blunts responsiveness in a translationally-relevant reward task" 👉 rdcu.be/ddreq

Congratulations to our colleagues @z_baram, @mtbirnie @drbelshort @svmahler and team on their latest paper in @NatureComms, "Stress-induced plasticity of a CRH/GABA projection disrupts reward behaviors in mice"! Check out the full open access paper here: rdcu.be/c7fbX
