Postdoc positions available at @MPFNeuro for studying molecular and physiological mechanism underlying synaptic, circuit, behavioral plasticity with cutting edge opto-techniques! Please DM!
“When mobility is affected through disease or injury, it often significantly degrades quality of life,” says Dr. @SalilBidaye, MPFI research group leader. Now, thanks to a $450,000 Klingenstein Fellowship award from @KlingensteinOrg, Dr. Bidaye will advance his research into…

📢New preprint alert! We watch ATP, the energy currency, in tiny compartments of brain synapses to show that synapses talk to their local mitochondria to produce energy right when needed during plasticity: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Is this for real???
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above…
Tetanus on demand! (not for bioweapons, but for neuroscience research) Tetanus toxin induces paralysis by using a protease to cleave VAMP2, a protein required for synaptic vesicle fusion and neurotransmitter release. To harness this toxicity and use it as a beneficial tool for…

Sharing our most recent paper, in which we find that electrical synapses in C. elegans drive action selection by "filtering" sensory information. C. elegans can learn temp, move across the temp. gradient and then track that temp. How? Configuration electrical synapses 1/

Today we report in @NatureMedicine the development of a base editing strategy for prion disease, currently a fatal and rapidly progressing neurogenerative condition with no effective treatment. @PrionAlliance @DevermanLab (1/13) drive.google.com/file/d/1DVpKrz…
Great opportunity to meet experts, learn new tools, and connect with cool peers. Highly recommend! Stellar line of lecturers again this year!! 🙌

Is this real, or is it excessive AI hype? New paper claims that an AI foundation model achieves experimental-level accuracy in predicting gene expression even in previously unseen cell types." I'll read the paper, but don't believe it for a second nature.com/articles/s4158…

New findings in mice have uncovered a crucial mechanism linking neuronal activity to mitochondrial function, researchers report in Science, revealing a potential pathway to combat age-related cognitive decline. 📄: scim.ag/3DjdseC #SciencePerspective:…
Cool story about mitochondrial gene transcription regulation via CaMKII-CREB signaling, published in @ScienceMagazine Congratulations Huan! @LavivTal @colgan_lesley science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…
Such a cool finding from @Ryohei_Neuro! 🤯
