Can we map gut inflammation with ultrasound? Yes, using probiotic biosensors! 🔊 Imagine drinking a "diagnostic yogurt" and getting an ultrasound instead of endoscopy or colonoscopy 😁. Congrats to Marjorie Buss and collaborators on this advance. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

🚨PhD position available in Cognitive Neuroscience / Computational Psychiatry with us Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin funded by DFG public | @[email protected] on mood-cognition interactions in depression, more infos here: karriere.charite.de/en/job-vacanci… Get in touch if you have questions about the position.

Hunger signalling in the olfactory bulb primes exploration, food-seeking and peripheral metabolism. We deleted ghrelin receptors in the olfactory bulb and saw many interesting effects - see graphical abstract TheRealZigmanLab @jeff_neuro Romana Stark sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨 New Study! 🚨 Contrary to our hypothesis, we found that hypothalamic tanycytes internalize ghrelin from the CSF and transport it to the end feet, potentially reducing ghrelin levels and its central effects. Check out the full details here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

For somebody working on the gut #microbiome, the responses ("gross", "embarrassment", "pseudoscience", etc.) to this nature article on the treatment of C-section babies with their mother’s poo are quite sobering. So, I thought I would provide a perspective in the thread below.

[1/5] 🧵Excited to share findings from our new paper in Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science on stress response profiles in depression. We examined how stress responses vary in current, remitted, and non-MDD individuals using a multisystem approach.

1/ Ghrelin, the "Hunger Hormone". Hunger isn’t just a feeling—it’s a finely tuned biological response. Ghrelin connects the gut, brain, energy use, storage, and tissue repair. Let me explain: 🍽️ 🧵

Preprint out today that tests o1-preview's medical reasoning experiments against a baseline of 100s of clinicians. In this case the title says it all: Superhuman performance of a large language model on the reasoning tasks of a physician Link: arxiv.org/abs/2412.10849 A 🧵⬇️

Our new Turku PET Centre paper shed light on the neuromolecular mechanisms of anorexia nervosa - one of the most difficult and persistent psychiatric disorders. We propose that opioid dysfunction may be a key mechanisms in the lowered appetite and mood: utu.fi/en/news/press-…

🧠 Depression is linked to rewired food cravings. People with depression crave carbs more and find less reward in fats & proteins. Could the gut-brain axis explain this? 🧵1/14

Happy to see that people are interested in our work.
