A very interesting and relevant study indeed! Congratulations @ViditaVaidya @utkarshaghai and the entire team!
Glad to see this published "Postnatal and juvenile fluoxetine treatment evokes sex-specific, opposing effects on mood-related behavior, gene expression, mitochondrial function, and dendritic architecture in the rat medial prefrontal cortex" doi.org/10.1016/j.biop….
I am deeply honored by this recognition but must thank the many postdoctoral fellows and PhD and MD-PhD students in my lab over the years whose creativity and hard work made this possible.
.@SinaiBrain & @IcahnMountSinai congratulate @EricJNestler for his election to @theNASciences of the USA. This great honor recognizes Dr Nestler’s cutting-edge work on the molecular basis of drug addiction & depression & on advancing the field of psychiatry into the molecular era
