Our recent work highlighting the impact of corticosteroids on brain developmental pathways is finally out in Science Advances. We find an amplification of inhibitory neuron populations, especially through lineage-driving transcription factors.

Researchers have created the largest and most detailed wiring diagram of a mammalian brain to date, by mapping cells in a cubic millimetre of a mouse’s brain tissue go.nature.com/3G1eihE

Thanks BPA for the recognition of mindsbehindtheMINDS hard work. So, who's coming? #BPA2025

No dropping-in on this good-boy please! Waves for days for this sea loving pooch #surfingdog #surfingisforeveryone #surflover #oceanlover

Our paper was just published in The European Journal of Psychiatry. 🧵1/10

Success is not linear:

Outstanding presentation as always by katrinaedmond to our neuroscience department today, sharing her PhD work optimising mass spec imaging in human brain with EllisLAB and many collaborators

✨ New paper ✨ Psychiatric disorders share genetic roots, but how? With exon-level brain data, we linked common & rare variants to 110 core genes in pathways such as cortisol & dopamine , mainly in excitatory neurons, offering new therapeutic targets 🧠🧬nature.com/articles/s4139…

ISAAC SCHWEITZER LECTURE | BPA 2025 BPA has the great pleasure to announce that Professor Alex Fornito (Alex Fornito) will present the 2025 Isaac Schweitzer Lecture at #BPA2025 ! BPA 2025 | 26-28 October 2025 | Melbourne, VIC

Happy to share the product of a beautiful collaboration just published in Nature Communications. We investigate, in males and females, how exposure to early life adversity can shape resilience and susceptibility to stressful situations later in life. Link to study: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Join us for #BPA2025 in October to hear from our 2025 Aubrey Lewis Award recipient Dr Natalie Matosin (Natalie Matosin) and Isaac Schweitzer Lecturer Prof Alex Fornito (Alex Fornito). Call for symposia open until May 15, 5pm AEST: biolpsychaustralia.com.au/symposium-prop…

Antibodies don't work. NLRP3 is by far the most studied inflammasome — yet <30% of commercial antibodies were specific. Only 4 of 14 tested antibodies detected NLRP3 specifically. Antibodies must be validated before use. Full report by YCharOS zenodo.org/records/116239…

Thanks again to Biological Psychiatry Australia for the recognition for my team's emerging work, and Sydney Health that provides the exceptional infrastructure that enables us to do what we do #sydneyhorizonfellows Looking forward to presenting our work at #BPA2025 in Melbourne later this year

Australian voters are unlike any others in the world. #australiavotes #ElectionDay #auspol

Huge shoutout to our phenomenal lab head Natalie Matosin for winning this year’s Aubrey Lewis Award!! So well deserved! Don’t miss her seminar later this year in Melbourne at #BPA2025 to hear all about the exciting brain science we do in the MINDS Lab at Charles Perkins Centre 🧠🧬🔬

Performing single nucleus & spatial RNAseq in post-mortem samples, Dominic Kaul, Natalie Matosin, & colleagues found that astrocyte synaptic functions change in individuals with stress-related psych disorders. The results were supported in hPSC studies. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Don't miss out!! Submit a symposium for #BPA2025 by next Thursday. Conference is at the Florey in Melbourne this year and we will have a ball!

Thrilled that Bagot Lab will be visiting us at The University of Sydney and delivering a Flagship seminar on August 11 on the mechanisms of resilience. Please join by registering here events.humanitix.com/soms-flagship-…
