The first bit of my postdoc is out now in preprint form! We were interested in the molecular mechanism behind sharp increases in protein synthesis resulting from neuronal activity. 🧵👇

Our paper on mouse visual cortex astrocyte development is out! Connie Guo Jesper Sjöström @[email protected] : sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Check it out and enjoy this illustration I made showing from bottom left to top right, astrocytes mature as a mouse develops from pup to adult.

Microcircuit motifs in mouse & human brains are strikingly similar, see our eLife Insight commentary on the Allen Institute's recent comprehensive & impressive study of local cortical brain circuits in humans. With Hovy Wong Christina Chou Alanna Watt elifesciences.org/articles/90017

Our developmental study of mouse visual cortex astrocytes is now out in iScience! Many properties stabilize by ~P15. Interestingly, branches seem to be pruned to establish tiling. Who prunes these pruners though?! With the stellar

I'm excited to share my lab's latest pre-print! Here, my fantastic co-authors and I show that endosomal dysfunction contributes to SCA6 -- a new type of cellular change that may lead to new therapetuic targets for this disease. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Roughly = 9300 SfN student membership fees. I hope he is making a positive impact at least on that scale.

🚨 Hot off the press!

A UK Dementia Research Institute analysis of an Open Targets screen delves into the regulation of the RBM3 cold-shock protein, identifying HNRNPH1 as a potential neuroprotective target

Congratulations to first authors Julie Qiaojin Lin and Deepak Khuperkar!

Axonal is a thing!
Proud to share our recent review written together with brilliant Topaz Altman and Perlson lab. We discuss the known and also the postulated functions of axonal and synaptic TDP43, and how these may relate to its peripheral toxicity in

All the more reason to consider single synapse RNA profiling…. not single nucleus. nature.com/articles/s4159…

We need more modelling of single neurons in computational neuroscience. Computing with synapses is good, but far from the entire picture. Single neurons are computationally complex. How can we reduce that complexity of these axons and dendrites to a single equation? Am I wrong?
