Copenhagen peeps, you (or your organisation) can book a researcher to speak about their work as part of the Forskningens Døgn (Research Day). I will happily travel across the Greater Copenhagen and South Zealand (for some coffee and drømmekage). So go ahead and book me! forsk.dk/indbakke/unc...

More than five years later, Cronutt is still seizure-free and living his best life at Six Flags after receiving an experimental therapy with transplanted interneuron progenitor cells that was developed by the Baraban Lab at @ucsanfrancisco.bsky.social: youtu.be/hZpFH5J5lbo 🧪 🧠🟦

A growing list of medications—such as zuranolone for postpartum depression, suzetrigine for pain, and the gepants class of migraine medicines—exist because of insights from basic research, writes @alexkwan.bsky.social. www.thetransmitter.org/drug-develop... #neuroskyence

Thanks Alex for writing this (& acknowledging AI help) but if I may be a contrarian for a change😂 rumors that many think basic science has not advanced treatment are highly exaggerated and are advanced to increase podcast listeners or sell books And to this list I'd add Xanomeline-Trospium for SZ

Opened @indianexpress.com today and found this interesting Science Desk piece that didn't sit well with me. indianexpress.com/article/tech...

Better late than never, here's our two bits about a study we published recently on cell-type specific dysfunction in a CNV model of psychiatric disorders. www.cell.com/neuron/abstr...

I would grab this opportunity if I could travel several years back in time but if you're someone who matches the description, then please do not hesitate to reach out. I work in the Khodosevich Group and am happy to answer questions if you'd like to whet us before you write to the grown ups.

Most sources will tell you that the shinkansen is modelled after birds (kingfisher by most accounts), but tell me you don't see a giraffe from this angle (the headlight mischievously placed as a nostril)

It boggles me how journals continue to milk controversial issues and publish articles that don't even justify their own title, let alone undertake an honest scientific response to the marker previously laid down by other researchers. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Excellent review by @talliezee.bsky.social and Matthew T. Birnie on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the consequences of early life adversity. Highly recommended! www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...

Such an incredible resource! Kudos to everyone at Allen + collaborating labs for making this available to all 👏🏽👏🏽

My memories of Prof Narlikar are the physics TV show for kids on doordarshan and him explaining eclipses telescoper.blog/2025/05/20/r...

Thrilled to share our latest study out in @natureportfolio.nature.com led by the fantastically talented Jing Liu. Our study provides insight into a long standing question in biology: What molecular features make us uniquely human and how do these function? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

What started as a master's project has finally culminated in new insights on how/when large genetic deletions and duplications impact brain development.

Cracker of an episode putting India's Freedom of speech (or lack of it) in the context of her political history Kudos to @kunalkamra.bsky.social and Srijan Mandal! youtu.be/13DdsXBaTSA?...

Data quality in #scRNAseq and #snRNAseq is really important. We spent 3 years testing different nuclei isolation protocols. The dataset I'm working on atm has a median value of 0.016% reads derived from mitochondria per cell. Find out how in our new preprint. (; 1/2

This is so cool and checks so many boxes in terms of ease and prophylaxis!

Our Collaborative work on TRMT1, a tRNA-modifying enzyme, is out in @ajhgnews.bsky.social. A team of human geneticists led by Drs. Houlden' @qs-neurogenetics.bsky.social and Dragony Fu' labs identified 43 individuals from 31 families with biallelic TRMT1 variants. www.cell.com/ajhg/fulltex...

As a student in India, I remember re-reading Annual Review articles for days or months to understand a topic in considerable detail. Fast forward a few decades and I have co-authored a review in Annual Review of Neuroscience with Prof. Akira Sawa! 🥳 Here's a 🧵 describing its contents:

Gdańsk you beauty! Will definitely come see you again.

Have heard about back to back lectures talk about early specification of upper layer cortical neurons with wildly different outcomes. I don't think this was repeated and the cause died down after a few publications from each group.

Really pleased to see this initiative from @cbmnimhans.bsky.social As scientists, we often speak about which aspects of #psychiatric disorders we model in the lab but we don't have insights from lived experiences. So if you/ a near one is willing, please consider being a part of this initiative.

In leu of NIH cuts at Columbia, many folks are asking why aren't universities using endowment funds to support the research mission of their faculty scientists? Inspired by @jeremymberg.bsky.social bluetorials here are a few of the reasons that is not a sustainable option 1/n

Is anyone else frustrated by the anachronism in the miniseries Lessons in Chemistry? I mean it's great to hear some solid biochemistry that was the talk around the 50s but virology and genetics had almost solved the heredity principle problem before it.

Are there any mouse researchers here who use a UV light based ocular system to genotype fluorescent strains? I am looking to buy one and could do with a referral. Please repost or pass on to some one who might know. 🧠🐀

Hi to all new followers! We are an indie Indian (hehe) boardgame publisher based in Chennai, India. We primarily work on games based on facets of Indian culture - travel, architecture, food and whatnot. We have 2 published games and a few other fun projects!

We are excited to share our latest work: Transposable elements (TE) are deregulated in #Preeclampsia placenta, which correlates with elevated type-I IFN. We then show "TE signature in maternal cell-free RNA can predict preeclampsia before the appearance of symptoms" biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Much needed mouse-adapted strain of SARS-CoV2. Brain inflammation persists for 30 days post infection much like protracted post-infection sequelae in Covid19. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Please check out our new preprint, which describes a new mechanism by which oligodenrocytes recognize specific classes of axons for myelination. Stellar work by graduate student Natalie Carey with important contributions from Dr. Caleb Doll (and I made 2 plasmids!). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

(Not a flex), but submitting manuscripts back to back takes a heavy toll. Submissions have become so painful because of differences in guidelines between journals. Would be a good idea for the community to work towards a common proforma at first submission.

Alright, I've moved here and trying to start from scratch. What are some fun and thoughtful accounts to follow in #neuroscience and #psychiatry?
