Happening soon in CILSE!!

A new Yale study shows for the first time that immune-system T cells are present in the brain, sent by the gut to a region that regulates hunger and thirst — a finding about T-cell physiology “that changes everything,” says one researcher: bit.ly/4mB9O1Q #Yale

Happening now!!

🚨I’m excited to share that the first piece of my postdoc work with Mark Howe is out! 🧵⬇️nature.com/articles/s4146…

BRAINBOW BULLETIN: Profiles Prof. John Ngo, whose lab develops tools to study and reprogram cells at the molecular level; spotlights a new technique using generative AI to design RNA from Prof. Alex Green. READ>> mailchi.mp/bu/brainbow-6-… SUBSCRIBE!>>bu.edu/kilachandcente…

Another great turnout for the Kilachand Center, Boston University Community Barbecue! Fortunate that we always get such good weather for these!

Continuing on our AI work for #Alzheimer's, in a paper just published we show how a trail making drawing test processed by AI can assess cognitive decline (tinyurl.com/2pkn2kp2). Joint with Framingham Heart Study and students at Hariri Institute for Computing, Boston University and Boston University.

New preprint from Wei-Chung Allen Lee @darbly.bsky.social lab, Brian DePasquale lab, and my lab! If you love (or hate) mosquitoes, have a look: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… We used TEM to describe the circuitry used for CO2 detection by mosquitoes. As usual with mosquitoes, nothing is as expected! 🌬️🦟

Over 60% of this year's Neuroscience of the Everyday World (N.E.W.) Conference attendees were students/trainees! Thank you to all of our student/trainee attendees who shared their research and congratulations to our 18 travel award winners! #NEWconf2025
