🚨New paper! We found refined (ultra-processed), low-fiber diets impair the aging amygdala, regardless of fat or sugar, within days. They robustly reduce butyrate and disrupt brain mitochondrial function, especially in microglial. Big team effort! Free: lnkd.in/ge4Dxrv4

Reversal of hair graying spotted this morning
Since publishing our paper showing the reversibility of hair greying we have received dozens of testimony and visual evidence of white human hairs recovering color, often in response to positive life changes
Beautiful plasticity

I told my husband last night that I wish I could win the PowerBall 💰so that I could fund my lab through retirement without worrying about grants. Is that noble or pathetic (others might move to Tahiti and never look back)? I just love the research, but not the funding stress!

Very excited about this paper as it demonstrates that additional triggers of TLR4 activity (other than opioids) are also capable of causing persistent postoperative cognitive deficits. Kudos to @MuscatStephanie & all authors @michaelbutler91 @menaz_b @james_demarsh 🎉🥳
