I am enjoying reading lots of different introductions over the last days so I will hop on the train as well and introduce myself! 👋
I am a PhD student at the #neuroscience for motivation, action, and desire lab working with @nbkroemer 🧠
I am broadly interested in #decisionmaking and in my PhD I am incorporating a metabolic perspective to understand how the #gutbrainaxis influences neural communication, motivation and effort. 🏋️♂️
Many psychiatric disorders come along with both motivational and metabolic alterations so the gut-brain perspective might help us to better understand and treat disorders like #depression #anhedonia 🎯
Mostly here for all the diverse science 💡🤩
Hi Mastodon 🙋🏼♀️ I guess it‘s time for an introduction!
I’m Stina and currently working on my #PhD in #Neuroscience at Gothenburg University in Sweden. My focus: gut-brain communication in eating behavior and emotionality, specifically investigating the influence of #SexSteroids and potential #SexDifferences.
Besides, I have been communicating science on social media since 6 years now and became a docent in #ScienceCommunication about a year ago.
Looking forward to connecting with you!
Can’t believe it’s already time to head to San Diego! Next stop: Munich. #SfN22 #Neuroscience2022 #Neuroscience
