Hello world! We just released a thing! In this preprint we provide evidence questioning the ability of the axon initial segment to undergo rapid structural plasticity in intact neurons from mouse, rat, and human cortex.

This analysis of #DNAme follows on from @nicl2.bsky.social’s detailed study of the effects of Setd1a haploinsufficiency on the transcriptome and synaptosome in the frontal cortex 🧬🐭🧠 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 doi.org/10.1093/hmg/...

Very similar to the Second Law of the To Do list (except latter tends to much larger dimensions)….

New paper in @oxfordacademic.bsky.social Schizophrenia Bulletin exploring the effects of Setd1a happloinsufficiency on DNA methylation in the frontal cortex.

As an Editorial Board member of @royalsocietypublishing.org #PhilTransB I would highly recommend this opportunity! Please contact me if you would like to discuss any ideas for #neuroscience #genetics theme issues. Find out more at bit.ly/PTBproposa

#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience! Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia. Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !

Very happy that this work is finally out in ‪@pnas.org‬! We show that synaptic and intrinsic forms of homeostatic plasticity sense distinct aspects of network activity, and can thus be independently recruited by distinct network functions. A thread: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

We just pushed “Memory by a 1000 rules” onto bioRxiv, where we use clever #ML to find #plasticity quadruplets (EE, EI, IE, II) that learn basic stability in spiking nets. Why is it cool? We find 1000s!! of solutions, and they don’t just stabilise. They #memorise! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
