Promotional poster for a medical lecture titled ‘Neuroactive Steroids and Perinatal Mental Health’ presented by Dr. Lauren Osborne, MD, Associate Professor of OB-GYN and of Psychiatry, Vice Chair of Clinical Research in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Weill Cornell Medicine. The poster features a professional headshot of Dr. Osborne, a woman with shoulder-length dark hair and glasses wearing a black blazer over a geometric patterned top, smiling warmly against a light purple geometric background. Event details show Monday, March 9, 2026 at 8am PST/11am EST, with instructions to register for the virtual lecture and Q&A. Institutional logos appear at bottom: University of California, Weill Cornell Medicine Radiology, and Cornell Bowers CIS College of Computing and Information Science. The Ann S. Bowers Women’s Brain Health Initiative logo appears at top.

Next Monday: Dr. Lauren Osborne, MD, presents "Neuroactive Steroids and Perinatal Mental Health." Register at tinyurl.com/bowerswbhi-s... so you can tune in and join the conversation.

🔍Using a dense longitudinal MRI design, this study maps intraindividual pituitary trajectories in 3 women before, during, and after pregnancy🤰🧠.

Brain differences between sexes get more pronounced from puberty Study could help reveal why some mental health disorders vary between men and women — but it's not clear whether the differences are due to sex or gender.

Reading up on precision imaging & struck by these findings of greater hormonal variation - & impact on brain networks - in the sampled man vs woman!

Another nail in the coffin of the 'hormonal/hysterical' woman?!

Happening today! 🔥

Research week for Book 2! Visiting UC Santa Barbara: @emilyjacobs.bsky.social studying female brains across the lifespan, @mgurven.bsky.social and @amyboddy.bsky.social thinking carefully about how culture intersects with female bodily change… gonna be amazing

In Buzzy Papers we set out to compile some of the most exciting neuroscience papers published in the past two years! A panel of 10 neuroscientists selected the papers from a preliminary list our editorial team assembled by considering publications in top neuroscience journals

How Medical Research Ignores Half the Population with Dr. Cat Bohannon Podcast Episode · Women's Health Interrupted with Dr. Liisa Galea · 2025-10-15 · 51m

Just dropped Episode 1 of our new Season (my first time hosting). Up first the incredible ⁦‪Dr ⁦Cat Bohannon author of Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 M years of Human Evolution. Let us know what you think.

Photo of a thermometer showing high temperatures (over 80 degrees farenheit and 28 degrees celsius) against a backdrop of blooming white flowers and a blue sky. Overlaid orange text reads: ‘Turn Up The Heat. Pass AB-432: The Menopause Care Equity Act.’ The image connects rising temperature imagery to advocacy for menopause care legislation.

Turn up the heat with us. We have ONE week to ask @cagovernor Newsom to sign California’s AB-432 Menopause Care Equity Act. Live in California, have 30 seconds, and want to support the bill? Go to tinyurl.com/AB432-suppor... to let @cagovernor Newsom know that women’s health is not an elective.

These datasets live on OpenNeuro. Shout out to @russpoldrack.org team's vision to build a data-sharing platform that accelerates discovering + maximizes the ROI of painstakingly collected data.

The intrinsic time tracker: temporal context is embedded in entorhinal and hippocampal functional connectivity patterns - Nature Communications This study shows that hippocampal and entorhinal connectivity patterns drift over time in humans, providing a spontaneous neural signature of elapsed time that follows functional gradients and reveals network-specific contributions to temporal coding.

When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. 👇🏼

Make your voice impossible to ignore. If you support the Menopause Care Equity Act let @gavinnewsom.bsky.social know in the link below 👇🏼 #AB432

With the power of the people behind it, the California legislature just passed the Menopause Care Equity Act. This is history in the making—finally addressing a health gap that touches millions of women. Now, it’s down to one signature. @governor.ca.gov, the pen is in your hand. 🖊️

What if NIH had been 40% smaller? Replaying history with less NIH funding shows widespread impacts on drug-linked research

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research.
