How #Pregnancy & the #Postpartum period trigger lasting changes in the #MaternalBrain remains unclear. Here, @chanjeneration, @themazelab, et al. @IcahnMountSinai investigated the persistent effects of reproductive experience in the maternal brain @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Scientific publishing needs to change. In a new preprint, HHMI President Erin O'Shea and Bodo Stern argue that the incentives are misaligned. Researchers should be evaluated on what they choose to share, not what journals select. I’m proud that @hhmi_science is leading the way. Read the preprint here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19600…

CONGRATULATIONS to @IcahnMountSinai's Dr. Ian Maze on being endowed as a Mount Sinai Professor. This well-deserved recognition is the highest academic distinction a university can bestow upon a faculty member. Incredibly proud to have Dr. Maze as a colleague & mentor!👏
Replying to @EricJNestler
Heartfelt congratulations to @ian_maze2 for becoming the Mount Sinai Professor of Neuroepigenomics and to all past and current members of the Maze laboratory for their life-changing research. @SinaiBrain @IcahnMountSinai

The One Mind Rising Star Awards were created to fuel bold ideas that improve lives, and 2017 Awardee Ian Maze, PhD, is a powerful example of that vision in action. Congratulations to Dr. @ian_maze2 on receiving the ACNP Daniel H. Efron Research Award for his groundbreaking work that's reshaping how we understand the brain & mental health. When Dr. Maze received his Rising Star Award, One Mind invested in his pioneering effort to develop a simple blood test that could identify who is most vulnerable to stress, who may develop major depression, & who is most likely to benefit from certain antidepressant medications. This kind of test could transform mental health care by helping people get the right support & the right treatments faster. That early support helped accelerate discoveries that have continued to push the field forward. Today, Dr. Maze is a Professor & Director of the Center for Neural Epigenome Engineering at @IcahnMountSinai & one of the youngest Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigators. His career reflects exactly why the Rising Star Awards matter: identifying exceptional scientists early & giving them the platform to make breakthroughs that improve lives.

So excited my doctorate work (and this excellent Preview by Yuhui Cui) is finally out @Neuron! We used human MDD profiling + mouse manipulation studies to identify an epigenetic regulator linking OFC astrocyte reactivity -> neuronal hyperexcitability -> stress susceptibility.
