Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry

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! 🥳

Am Wochenende sprach unsere Doktorandin @lrottenfusser.bsky.social für ein jüngeres und älteres Publikum über #KI in der Forschung!

Wir bedanken uns bei allen Organisator*innen für dieses tolle Event und freuen uns auf mehr #wisskomm in der Zukunft 🥳

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

📅 Next week, we are excited to welcome Dr. @yoavlivneh.bsky.social from Weizmann Institute of Science. He will share his research on the #insular #cortex.

🥳 As always, everyone is welcome to join us at our Institute, and registration is not necessary! All info here: www.psych.mpg.de/events/40140...

This event has sadly been cancelled - we look forward to welcoming Prof. Koerte at a later date!

Happening tomorrow - join us! 🥳

📅 Am 1. Juli geht es bei uns um Schizophrenie und das Auge oder auch um die größere Frage, inwieweit die Netzhaut zur Diagnose psychiatrischer Erkrankungen taugt. Unser leitender Obearzt Dr. Dr. Florian Raabe berichtet über seine Forschung.

📅 Don´t miss on July 1 at 16 pm in our lecture hall: Prof. Inga Koerte from the @lmumuenchen.bsky.social psychiatric hospital for children and adolescents about neuroimaging of mild traumatic brain injuries:

Coming up next week - join us! 🥳

FKBP51 in glutamatergic forebrain neurons promotes early life stress inoculation in female mice - Nature Communications Early life stress can induce lasting changes in brain function and behavior. Here, authors show that glutamatergic FKBP51 specifically in females mediates adaptive stress effects on anxiety and cognit...

New paper: We show that especially female mice benefit from moderate early life adversity under stressful situations in adulthood. This pro-resilient effect requires the psychiatric risk factor FKBP51, which turns out to be also required for adaptive stress responses. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Early Life Stress Can Build Resilience in Females Stress in early life can improve emotional regulation and cognitive function in female mice. This is a significant departure from the traditional view that such stress is solely detrimental. The study...

It’s official, I got #DFG funding for my own position at the #LMU Munich at Laura Busses group, also still working with @mathiasvschmidt.bsky.social at the @mpi-psychiatry.bsky.social . Great project about „What your mice do when you‘re not watching“; together with @london-k-aman.bsky.social
