Great to see our research on physical activity, ADHD, and executive functions get some press. Thanks @gwaynemiller.bsky.social & @pellcenter.bsky.social for the opportunity to chat! Link to article below.

Our new paper is out today: Heightened menopausal symptoms mediate the associations between stress and depressive symptoms among midlife women. This is the first of many projects we are undertaking in the lab to shed light on the importance of women’s brain health. Link to paper below!

The lab is at ACSM in Atlanta, Georgia! Great to see our work in physical activity and brain health spanning pediatric, menopausal, and Parkinson’s populations represented with these presentations. #ACSM25

A great week for the lab! 12 of our students presented their projects at the College of Health Sciences Research Night, followed by a final spring lab meeting pizza party to celebrate our graduating seniors - and the sun (finally) came out just in time 🌞

Not sure when all my students became canva experts (probably because I walk into the lab asking for figures far too often)… but PhD student Janis Gaudreau’s poster is tomorrow at 2:30pm! Diving into individual differences among pediatric resting state EEG #CNS2025 @cogneuronews.bsky.social

How much sleep do we need? 😴How about physical activity? 🏃🏼‍♀️Doctoral student Michelle Lim presents the optimal 24-hour activity cycle for cognitive function among adolescents today at 5pm in CNS Poster Session A (A78) 🧠 #CNS2025 @cogneuronews.bsky.social

Always proud of my lab - but especially excited to see them representing our group at Rhode Island BrainWaves today! A great family event each year bridging science education and communication within our local communities. Thanks for coming by our table and learning about “Exercise for your Brain!”

The #hypothalamus plays a large role in coordinating the neuronal signals that are responsible for keeping the body in a stable state. A special issue unpacked this brain region’s impact on physiological and behavioral homeostasis. scim.ag/41FRESU #BrainAwarenessWeek

Super proud of Matt and his team! So much hard work went into this paper, it’s great to see it out today in Science!

A new paper out today which explores one of my labs latest trajectories: exploring positive childhood experiences, despite the presence of ACEs, on cognitive function and mental health outcomes, using the ABCD dataset. Link: urldefense.com/v3/__https:/...

THRILLED to see this SI now out addressing the power and potential of focusing our lens on women. H/t to Tali for making space for these ideas to flourish and for a dream team of investigators to contribute!!
