An #NIH-supported study found that children who had low sugar exposure in utero and during the first two years of life later had a reduced risk of developing #diabetes or #HighBloodPressure. bit.ly/3CzdkHD

It's been 8 years of #SABV, but >30y since NIH mandated incorporation of women in NIH-funded clinical trials. Yet how many papers examine whether or not sex/gender makes a difference? ~5% (~20% use sex/gender as a covariate (removing any effect not learning from any effect).
Today is #WomensHealthResearchDay!
Jan 25 marks the anniversary of the implementation of the NIH Policy on Sex as a Biological Variable #SABV in 2016 and serves as an opportunity to reflect on how far women’s health research has come – and how far we have to go.

Great job Keisha Smith getting this important work out showing greater drug use in women compared to men with substance use disorders and brain responses that predict that future return to use supported by @NIDAnews and @NIAAAnews @MilivojevicPhD

Happy #PsychopharmPhriday! At #3 with 1506 cites, Kent Berridge updates the case in 2007 for #dopamine mediating incentive salience. Responded to by @barry_everitt & Robbins, this special issue has many great papers by DA field leaders (past & present)

Paper of the week: collaborative study with @BruceHope4 lab (1st au. @LeslieARamsey) extending our rat operant social self-administration & choice model (developed by @MarcoVenniro) to female CD1 mice. The model did not work well with C57BL/6J mice
