Drinking espresso in a hand-thrown cup with astrocytes carved into the side is pretty rad. Shoutout to the talented for making this @angela-to.bsky.social! #glia #astrocytes #pottery

Suppose you ask #AI for improvements to your writing. The #LLM was trained on, but doesn’t mention, Smith’s work. You adopt the suggestions containing Smith’s ideas. You don’t even realize YOU’VE PLAGIARIZED because you’ve never read or heard of Smith.

🚨 New paper alert from our lab @yaleschoolofmed.bsky.social ! We generated DNA methylation maps from 6 postmortem brain regions (amygdala + hippocampus subregions) in PTSD, MDD, and control donors — the largest dataset of its kind! 🧠✨ 📖 Read more: www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S000...

At #NDiSTEM2025 & interested in cognition? Come by @wutsaiyale.bsky.social booth #1144 tomorrow to learn abt research opportunities, a new graduate certificate, postdoc fellowships & faculty hiring! And if you tell us our full mission statement by memory, you’ll get some cool swag… 👀😉 #SACNAS

WTI Postdoctoral Fellowship applications are open! Unique opportunity for those pivoting fields or working across disciplines. I’d be happy to support candidates with a background in immunology and/or in vivo 2-photon imaging, including collaborations with other WTI labs wti.yale.edu/initiatives/...

What's the function of #histamine -1-receptors (H1Rs) on cortical astrocytes? @kiraposkanzer.bsky.social & co show that astrocytic H1R signaling modulates Ca2+ activity, extracellular adenosine & REM #sleep, revealing a key #astrocyte role in sleep-wake regulation @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4gRj9Ap

Really excited to see this work from my postgrad days come out of its "slumber" 💤 If you are interested in how astrocytes interact with neuromodulatory systems to regulate cortical states, this is for you!

Congrats to Charlotte Taylor and team for dissecting how astrocyte networks integrate histamine to modulate adenosine over sleep and wake in unexpected ways: dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour... @vincenttse.bsky.social @maxine.science @trishavv.bsky.social

Preprint - Excited to present WHOLISTIC, which extends the concept of whole-brain functional imaging to the entire body. Pioneering work by incredibly talented Virginia Ruetten @vmsruetten.bsky.social, this platform reveals whole-organism cellular dynamics in vivo. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Postdocs: Apply now for the SYNAPSES series @kavliatyale.bsky.social @yaleneuro.bsky.social! Deadline to apply is September 7th

Yale School of Medicine seeks a tenure track faculty member to research neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s, bridging disciplines within a vibrant, collaborative community. Closing date: 31st October www.dementiaresearcher.nihr.ac.uk/job/associat...

The Sirota & Huang labs identified a novel letrozole–irinotecan combination therapy that improves memory and reduces pathology in Alzheimer's disease models—showcasing a transformative drug discovery approach rooted in human transcriptomics and real-world clinical data www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

In collaboration with @pebyale.bsky.social, WTI presents the 2025 Undergraduate Poster Symposium. Join us at 100 College Street on Wednesday, July 30, from 2-4 pm. Faculty, students + trainees are encouraged to attend! Learn more: wti.yale.edu/event/2025-0... #KnowTogether

Now on bioRxiv! Astrocytes in one brain region (cyan) communicate in expansive networks (magenta). Through tool development, tissue clearing, and many hours on our @zeiss-microscopy.bsky.social Z1, we now know these networks are repeatable across mice, plastic, and specific. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Very proud of our new #SingleCell work on #PTSD and #MDD out in @nature.com today. Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... News and views: www.nature.com/articles/d41... Press: medicine.yale.edu/news-article... Data: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Code: github.com/mjgirgenti/P...

I am looking for a postdoc with an immunology background interested in joining a Yale neuroscience lab to study how the brain controls immunity. At Yale, we have a wonderful interdisciplinary & collaborative #neuroimmune community. Please reach out or share with anyone who might be interested!

I have seen folks waste so much time by not properly planning research. Missed literature, missing controls, ignored hypotheses, etc. Lack of planning also produces bad science (e.g. analysis until significant). So I am writing an app. Looking for feedback. scientific-paper-planner-test.vercel.app

Extremely proud to finally be able to present this work in the open🍾✨ We identify and manipulate astrocytic calcium-dependent ensembles in the NAc ✨✨ It gathers new tools, intense experiments and results that blowed our minds in the process at Navarrete's lab 🤯 Check it out! rdcu.be/d8qJi

Are you using 5xFAD mice to study Alzheimer’s disease? Our work out today @cp-neuron.bsky.social may be relevant to you 🐁🧠 Age and sex are known to influence Aβ plaque burden in these mice. Here, we found that the transgene parentage is another strong determinant. Thread below: (1/11)

Our lab at Yale U/Wu Tsai Institute has a postdoctoral position on neurodegeneration, neuro-glial-vascular biology using 2photon, calcium/voltage imaging, gene editing,transcriptome/proteome, 3D EM, translational neurosci/chemistry. Email me if interested. Forward to those interested pls

Adding @tamarajafar.bsky.social @schandralab.bsky.social @toddc.bsky.social @vincenttse.bsky.social If you’re interested in understanding cognition and Neuroscience at Yale follow our starter pack . If there are others that should be added let me know ! go.bsky.app/CqNL4be

I would appreciate it if you could share this invitation and respond if you would like to join this group. go.bsky.app/DXdNa8k

some great starter packs for the #glia, #astrocyte, #oligodendrocyte, #microglia, #neuro researcher: gliasky, astrocytesky, microglia But if you also like interactions between celltypes, please help this starter pack get started. Maybe someone can connect all of us in a feed? go.bsky.app/MHtJzeC

There are lots of us missing, but so many joining so quickly Please do share, and comment below to be added go.bsky.app/5f2V6L6 (microglia starter pack also here by @mancusorenzo.bsky.social - bsky.app/starter-pack...)
