This report from the PENUT trial showed that opioids and/or benzodiazepines used in extremely preterm infants are associated with adverse effects on 2-year neurodevelopmental outcomes. @DrRagnar @Neo_DrLaw @brain_uw ja.ma/2VgNti6

No such thing. Physiology does not have "bests" like this. Any such list is a categorical lie. See @DrRagnar new paper if you're interested in fiber mbio.asm.org/content/12/2/e…

This week’s podcast is all about fitness, longevity and keeping your brain healthy with @DrRagnar. Tommy certainly knows his stuff - he has a biochemistry degree, a medical degree from the University of Oxford and a PhD in physiology and neuroscience 👇🏾 drchatterjee.com/167

3 excellent podcasts i listened to recently host @AllyTransforms guest @Peter_InNorfolk podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pet… host @DominicDAgosti2 guest @DrRagnar podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tom… host @PeterAttiaMD guest @DrRagnar peterattiamd.com/tommywood/

Thrilled to be co-chairing this conference with my colleagues Sunny Juul and @DrRagnar! We have a fantastic line-up of speakers and are excited to kick-off the conference tomorrow: hersheyconference.com Thank you to our sponsors @NeuroKarger @BWFUND @yourcpf and @NINDSfunding!

SOCIAL CONNECTION! During this week’s podcast, @DrRagnar describes the crucial role human connection plays in the health of our brain and the powerful idea that your brain needs a reason to be alive. Listen to the compilation episode here: drchatterjee.com/226

Our newest paper is out showing the use of a ferret whole hemisphere brain slice model to capture regional responses to injury and treatment seen in vivo! bit.ly/3CMBpF8 Always fun to collab with @NeoNeuroLab and @DrRagnar @BioTM_Buzz @UWChemE

Lab director @DrRagnar is editing a special edition of @Life_MDPI - Diversifying and Strengthening Translational Animal Models of Newborn Brain Injuries. If that's your kind of thing, let us know! mdpi.com/journal/life/s…

The hunt for neuro-predictive biomarkers continues, but Epo and Tau are giving us clues: Early Biomarkers of Hypoxia and Inflammation and Two-Year Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in the PENUT Trial. Congratulations @DrRagnar, @Neo_DrLaw 🧠 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

So fortunate to collaborate with the ingenious @NeoNeuroLab. Congrats @DrRagnar and @Neo_DrLaw!

New paper from the lab! This model took 6+ years to develop and we hope it will be an important addition to preclinical developmental brain injury research. Super excited to see it in print! mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/1…

🚨🚨🚨 The #LMHRstudy has launched 🚨🚨🚨 We are now recruiting for those who've seen their #LDL #cholesterol increase on a #lowcarb/#keto diet alongside high #HDL and low #triglycerides Our official link for eligibility criteria & study details 👇👇👇 citizensciencefoundation.org/study/

Excited for this paper, showing systemic delivery of large proteins in polymer nanoparticles can result in neuroprotection in the newborn injured brain! Always fun to publish with @andrea_j0seph @AHAitsChrisNyam @DrRagnar @JimPfaendtner! Congrats team! bit.ly/3rFtlCb

Thanks, looking forward to reading this!! FYI @puddleg @grantsnz @virtahealth @zinocker

We are excited to introduce the UW Brain Research Advancement In Neonatology (BRAIN) Team. Our mission is to improve neonatal neurodevelopmental outcomes through neuroprotection-focused research. Stay tuned for project updates! @Neo_DrLaw @DrRagnar @mihai_pd @NeoNeuroLab

I visit the great Tommy Wood (@DrRagnar) to cover some hot topics including how to reconcile the benefits of #fasting and caloric efficiency vs the benefits of good nutrition for peak performance and recovery, as well as the topic of the #carnivore diet🥩. bit.ly/2sH5nfC

Just listened to @NutritionDanny pod with @DrRagnar. Great stuff! Well balanced & nuanced discussion of brain injuries including nutrition. Definitely not typical overhyped speculation based on preclinical studies that I've heard elsewhere. Thanks lads. sigmanutrition.com/episode304/

Our perspective is out! doi.org/10.1063/1.5117… It marries my expertise in drug delivery to the brain with @DrRagnar ‘s expertise in models of perinatal brain injury, and provides an implementation strategy for engineering therapeutics in this complex field!

When @JimPfaendtner organises party snacks:

Check out the UW ChemE Start-up Decafino and consider backing their kickstarter campaign. If you are like me and REALLY want more decaf coffee options, this is a promising technology to meet that need!
