Thank you to the #volunteers from @EmoryUniversity’s neuroscience lab @FANs_Lab for helping us at our Distribution Center this past week! Food assistance is available every Tuesday and Friday from 11:00 A.M.-2:00 P.M. at 1976 Flat Shoals Rd Atlanta, GA 30316.

Hoping that this science validates the experiences of people of color. Research by our team, @NateurNeuro @DrSCarter1 #gradytraumaproject @FANs_Lab
In a cross-sectional study, US Black women who experienced racial discrimination showed increased functional MRI response in brain regions associated with emotion regulation and fear inhibition and visual attention ja.ma/3jBpoMo

Against the backdrop of systemic oppression and structural racism, Black people are disparately impacted by #AdverseChildhoodExperiences (#ACEs). The #AtlantaTraumaAlliance and I wrote on key practice and policy needs to address health disparities related to ACE exposure (1/x)

One of my greatest joys is hearing about the successes of my trainees. @jahnvi_j will be headed to medical school at McGovern Medical School and I couldn't be more proud--congratulations Jahnvi!!! You will go so far, and the field of medicine is lucky to have you!

@FANs_Lab at the #gradytraumaproject is looking to hire a post-doctoral fellow with neuroimaging experience for our new R01, a mechanistic clinical trial for dissociation. Details at gtpaffectneurolab.wixsite.co…. Interested applicants, please PM me. Colleagues, I appreciate reposts!
Many @FANs_Lab rockstars laid the groundwork for this project, including @aguelfo21 @leyla1526 @jahnvi_j @dominiqueUGA Drew Teer among others, your hard work has been critical to making this a success!
I am super excited to start this R01 supported by NCCIH, a mechanistic clinical trial for dissociation! Partnering with @gregsiegle and Grady Trauma Project, we will test neuroscience-based interventions for dissociation, targeting attentional control and interoception networks.

What a powerful symposium chaired by our director @NegarFani with great presentations from @NateurNeuro @DrSCarter1 and current lab member Amanda Liew!

We often hear that “time is subjective” and this week’s #mindfulnessmonday article shows how time can feel different during mindfulness meditation practices ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
Lack of sleep can lead to various mental health problems. Check out this meta-analysis which found that MBSR may help improve sleep quality and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety among people with insomnia: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3259… #MindfulnessMondays
Congratulations @dominiqueUGA !!!! You are amazing!! Keep up the great work!!

Thank you! Appreciated the opportunity to discuss important research looking at the lifespan impact of racism on health in Black lives. I def agree with you that more work is needed in our field to acknowledge the importance of racism in our conceptualization of trauma and PTSD.
Just heard an amazing presentation by @DrSCarter1 at our @McLeanHospital #PTSD conference on some of the psychological, metabolic, and healthspan effects of systemic #racism . Lots of work to do to address this. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

We look forward to thanking our participating families with customized care packages!
The team at @DTP_Wayne spearheaded by @TJovanovic_PhD making care packages for participants in the lab’s ongoing longitudinal study of critical periods in brain development 🥰 Giving back to our community during this hard time for all. Love this work and team. @WayneStateTNP
Welcome back to classes everyone! Here are some guided audio and video #mindfulness meditations to help ease into the academic year, from the @UCSanDiego Center for Mindfulness medschool.ucsd.edu/som/fmph/… #MindfulnessMonday
