New preprint🥳 An evolutionary timeline of the oxytocin signaling pathway osf.io/42b8g We show that ancient oxytocin pathway genes support cellular processes in humans. More recent genes sustain adaptive functions, bone preservation & are upregulated in the brain. 🧵⬇️




Is anyone else submitting abstracts for #OHBM2025 getting persistent payment declines? I've tried 4 payment methods and two browsers. Nothing seems to be going through :( @OHBM any official guidance? Thanks!
Last day today at #ohbm2024 ! Come and see me at my poster number 2115 to discuss the evolution and cerebral expression of oxytocin signaling pathway genes 🤓
If you’re at #OHBM2024, check out @am_sartorius’ poster describing her recently published work on cerebral expression and evolutionary annotation of the oxytocin signaling pathway 👇
Long-term social isolation can negatively impact health. Recent work suggests that even a few hours of isolation may have negative consequences by disrupting vital internal regulatory mechanisms. @AnaStijovic @SilaniLab nature.com/articles/s4427…
New article led by @am_sartorius in @CommsPsychol on the hidden toll of social isolation nature.com/articles/s4427…
New preprint! 🎉 osf.io/cbjxd/ Oxytocin is known for its role in social cognition, but are its effects exclusive to the social domain? To help answer this question, @heeminkng led a meta-analysis (and created a web app!) investigating oxytocin's non-social effects 🧵
My second PhD paper is out today in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience🥳 Based on covariance in functional brain networks, we derived replicable dimensions of psychopathology in a developmental clinical sample. [1/9] doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.…
Thrilled to share our new paper assessing the brain-based gene expression patterns of genes linked to #AnorexiaNervosa in @molpsychiatry. @dsquintana @jarekrokicki @larswestlye @oleaandreassen @am_sartorius @jasonmnagata @fuyu00 @KeckMedUSC nature.com/articles/s4138…
We just finished our lab’s first ‘paper in a day’ event in collaboration with @nifti12 🎉 Together we wrote over 5000 words today! Great job @am_sartorius, @nifti12, @heeminkng, Emilie Kildal, Ben Glaser + @kristin_aud (joining us remotely)
Our new paper on brain-based gene expression of putative risk genes for anorexia nervosa is now online in @molpsychiatry 🎉 nature.com/articles/s4138… View-only PDF version: rdcu.be/dcKNk Preprint: doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.…

Two open postdoc positions in our group! Interested in mental health in youth, risk/protective factors, and brain imaging? Attractive Norwegian benefits and work conditions, strong international network and interdisciplinary environment. @SFFNORMENT @Psykologiskinst 👇
Forgot to mention! In case you are interested in taking a deep dive into the methods of our preprint -- all the supplementary materials, code and links to the publically accessible data are available in the corresponding OSF project here: osf.io/rxphw 🤓

I shouldn't be laughing so hard about this on a Sunday morning.
