Manage episode 371573007 series 3448744
Dr. Carla Nasca is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and the Department of Neuroscience and Physiology at NYU Langone, where she studies epigenetic mechanisms of neuroplasticity to stress. Dr. Nasca's work led to the discovery of acetyl-L-carnitine (LAC), a metabolite found in the mitochondria, as a promising biological marker of depression.
Topics:
- acetyl-L-carnitine (LAC) and major depressive disorder
- How stress changes the brain on a structural/molecular level
- Risk factors for stress-induced disorders
- Machine learning
