Some chemicals disrupt synapse formation in fetal brains causing neurodevelopmental disorders. Work from the Litwa lab @Brain_Maker led by @EastCarolina grad researcher @RileySci published in @molpsychiatry say the phytochemical sulforaphane can protect. tinyurl.com/2s4dwbjs
Riley Bessetti of @CityofMadison Wisconsin, studies the molecules sulforaphane, found in broccoli and Brussels sprouts, and cannabidiol (CBD), and their benefits for brain development — using "mini brains" (organoid models). news.ecu.edu/2025/04/04/stu…
Some amazing neurochemistry was shared in this building last week at #ISNESN2023 thank you @ISN_society for the ability to network and meet other trainees like @schlotterose who I have had the pleasure to explore Porto with the past few days.
@Ologies ✨Once upon a bee girl era✨
@cecelia_bedelia Congratulations, Cecelia!
So excited to represent @ECUBrodySOM and the #LitwaLab at the 2023 ISN-ESN meeting in Porto, Portugal this August. Thank you @Brain_Maker for your support and @ISN_society for my travel award!
This month's OFALD Above and Beyond Spotlight is Riley Bessetti @RileySci. She is a PhD Candidate in Anatomy and Cell Biology @ECUBrodySOM. We #ARRRGH so thankful for her dedication to research @EastCarolina! @Brain_Maker @EspenLab
Feeling refreshed after vacation and ready to dive back into research.
