- Reposted by Carina Heller, Ph.D.🌊 Carina Heller & co explored brain volume changes across typical and atypical menstrual cycles. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Carina Heller, Ph.D.When @laurapritschet.bsky.social & Pavel Shapturenka set out to build the 28&Me + 28&He datasets, I don't think any of us could've predicted the spectacularly creative ways the datasets would be used years later. That's the power of open science. 👇🏼
- Thrilled to share that I have been awarded a @bbrfoundation.bsky.social Young Investigator Grant!
- Congrats, Dr. Carina Heller, PhD @carinaheller.bsky.social & thanks to @bbrfoundation.bsky.social. Carina received the 2025 BBRF Young Investigator Grant, enabling her to further investigate the impact of hormonal contraceptives use in adolescence, especially for mental health. #Neuroscience
- 🧠 Modulating salience network connectivity through olfactory nerve stimulation. Now out in Translational Psychiatry! 👉 Check out the paper here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Stay tuned for the irregular cycles movement!!!
- Why menstrual cycle irregularities belong in brain research www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Carina Heller, Ph.D.The beginning of the irregular cycles movement!! Get round it!☺️🧠💪🏼
- We wrote a piece for @naturemedicine.bsky.social 🧠 Menstrual cycle irregularities can be both cause and consequence of wide-ranging health issues. Embracing this complexity could reveal novel brain–body interactions and advance neuroscience. Check out our commentary www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Thank you to @drerynnchristensen.bsky.social @ellemurata.bsky.social @npetersen.bsky.social for making this happen! What a dream team 🫶💕
- Thank you for giving me the opportunity to present our research on the impact of hormonal contraceptives intake on brain structure in an adolescent sample 🫶
- Next up @carinaheller.bsky.social on hormonal contraceptives and 300M people use HC worldwide. Not just used for HMB, acne, PCOS, endometriosis etc. it is imp for researchers to investigate how HC impact the brain (& other physiological systems). BEYOND fertility!!
