Sowmya Narayan successfully defended her thesis last month on sex-specific outcomes of developmental stress and psilocybin intervention on the brain and behavior. Seen here with her co-supervisor @mathiasvschmidt.bsky.social and her graduation cap. Many congratulations to you, Sowmya!

Congratulations to Hannah Klimmt for winning the 2025 IMPRS-TP PhD Wrap-Up Award! 🏆 This award supports outstanding PhD graduates in continuing their research and bringing their work to publication. Well done, Hannah!

everybody talks about it - we just did it. I'm talking about publishing negative results of course. We showed that adrenal FKBP5 is not involved in HPA axis regulation, so now you don't have to. You're welcome 😊 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Letzte Woche sprach unsere Direktorin Prof. Elisabeth Binder @binderlabmpip.bsky.social im Bergson Kunstkraftwerk darüber, wie uns Stress auf molekularer Ebene beeinflussen kann. Wir bedanken uns beim Bergson und bei allen, die gekommen sind! 🥳

Researchers from @bmc-lmu.bsky.social and @mpi-psychiatry.bsky.social have found why “misplaced” neurons in the brain can lead to periventricular heterotopia. Explore how these insights into disrupted brain wiring could lead to new treatments.‬ maxplanckneuroscience.org/misplaced-ne...

🤔 What if psychiatric disorders were grouped based on underlying biological mechanisms instead of symptoms?

📃 Janine Knauer-Arloth from our MPI und Karolina Worf from @www.helmholtz-munich.de explore this in a paper published in April, which we summarized as a comic: tinyurl.com/2s3p557b
