Our paper is out in Translational Psychiatry!
We show that pre-reproductive stress to female rats affects mRNA and miRNA expression in blood and oocytes, and impacts behavior and gene expression in offspring.

Pre-reproductive stress (PRS) to adolescent female rats alters anxiogenic behavior in first (F1)- and second-generation (F2) offspring and increases mRNA expression of corticotropin-releasing factor receptor type 1 (Crhr1) in oocytes and in neonate offspring brain. Here, we ask whether the expressio...

מה הסיכוי שהסטטיסטיקה תהרוג אתכם?
What are the odds that statistics can get you killed?

הפעם ננסה לפענח את הסיבה שבגללה סטטיסטיקה – ואחותה, ההסתברות – זוכות לשם רע כל כך. האם סטטיסטיקאים הם באמת… שקרנים? על חוק בנפורד ואפקט המגירה.

This study shows how the 3D structure of the genome is affected by the early environment, using a groundbreaking technique that allows to "travel back in time" from the time damage is seen to the time it had actually happened.

Some sad data on mental health funding in the UK:
1/4 people suffer from mental illness in the UK every year, but only 5.8% of funding goes to mental illness. About 300% less than cancer research. I suspect the numbers are very similar to what goes on in the US and Israel. Lose-lose situation.
