A study in prairie voles links parental care to slower biological aging and genetic expression changes in the brain. Among the findings: voles raised by attentive fathers were more likely to care for unrelated vole pups. In PNAS: ow.ly/PWMN50Pkzwt
Another great day in my life! I love training grad students. And I couldn’t be prouder of this one!! Congrats Dr. Danoff, thank you for making the last 6 years SO much fun! #genesbrainbehavior
A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]
Check out our latest work by @amalia_skyberg et al. Congrats to all! @jamiemorrisuva @UVA_PFN @UVAPsyc nature.com/articles/s4139…

Huge day in the #pugliadevneurolab as we officially just launched Part 2 of our "Brain Development Following Preterm Birth" research study! This study is trying to determine how we can best help premature babies develop, and aims to create an early screening tool for autism.
Our take on the recent paper by Berendzen et al. examining Oxtr mutants in prairie voles (1/n): sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Last night at #PFN_CIGS amazing presentations from Allison Perkeybile, @kathleen_krol, @amalia_skyberg, @JoshDanoff, and Andrew Graves. We had the chance to learn the cutting-edge research on OXTRm and brain development among many other things... including how to pick up a vole.
Super excited to see everyone. Thanks @UVA_Brain for making it possible.
In toxic cultures, people prove their intelligence by tearing others down. In healthy cultures, people use their intelligence to build others up. Knowledge and expertise are not weapons to wield. They're resources to share.
You are devoting your life to this intellectual subject matter, and that entails sacrifices. You owe it to yourself to enrich this work in every way you can.
It will be easy to spot (and then ignore) the odd person who is too selfish or lazy to engage with you.
This opportunity to have these people critique and work with your ideas is rare. Make them teach you something.
I find graduate students don’t talk frequently enough to people other than their advisor, sometimes not even other people on their committee. The other faculty in your department (or related departments) are there to teach you.
Epigenetic variability of OXTR influences perception of negative emotions in others. #fmri #epigenetics #oxytocin pnas.org/content/early/…
