Dikembe Mutombo's son, Ryan, shared a special message honoring his father ❤️ (via ryanmutombo/IG)

We are deeply saddened by the news of Dikembe Mutombo’s passing. Dikembe was a proud and honorable man, who lived up to the definition of a word that became synonymous with his name – humanitarian. He used his many gifts and his platform to improve the lives of everyone he

The biology of AD extends beyond proteins. Electrophysiology is one of those biological factors. This study shows a clear association between tau protein and abnormal (epileptic) electrophysiology in large-scale ensembles of brain cells. #endalz neurology.org/doi/full/10.12…

Excited to share our preprint of my PhD work in the Jasin lab Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center! We find that CRISPR Cas9-induced DNA double strand breaks, even at a single locus, cause large-scale loss of heterozygosity. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#RepeatExpansionDisorders are up to three times more common than current estimates. Underdiagnosis or reduced penetrance? by our wonderful dream team kibanez Matteo Zanovello Chris Clarkson + Bharati Jadhav & Andy Sharp nature.com/articles/s4159…

Thrilled to receive the 2024 NARSAD Young Investigator Grant! Our lab is grateful for the support from BBRFoundation and my amazing colleagues WashU Medicine Genetics and Washington University Neurosurgery. Big shout out to Jose Moron-Concepcion for his kind advice and collaboration.

An international collaboration, including Greg Jefferis’s group at the LMB, have published the #connectome of the Drosophila fly – the most complex brain to be mapped in its entirety, with 140,000+ neurons and 15 million+ connections. Read more: www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/whole-brain-co… #LMBResearch

Papers reporting the fly whole-brain connectome were published in nature today 🎉 and it was my honor to write a News and Views about them Congrats to Sven Dorkenwald, Sebastian Seung, Murthy Lab, Greg Jefferis, and the FlyWire team! + great 🧵 below from David nature.com/articles/d4158…

Why are some neurons more selective than others? We report now in nature how calcium permeable-AMPA receptors in PV neurons make them less selective to sensory features nature.com/articles/s4158… Long live the geniuses behind this🧠🔍juhyun.kim Thomas Hainmueller Rick Huganir

🚨EpiC announcement🚨!! In spring 2025 the Groth lab is moving to the Danish Cancer Institute along with @Mailandlab Jakob Nilsson and Nils Krietenstein to establish a Center of Excellence with a focus on Epigenetic Cell Memory (EpiC). 1/2

Since the '50 largest neurons' #connectome render with Amy Robinson Sterling FlyWire has made it's way around the world, I'm sharing an animated version. Including: Information flow from the ocelli, 50 largest #neurons, and a LOT of #synapses on one MASSIVE neuron. #neuroscience

Our new paper on the role of the enigmatic calcium-permeable AMPA receptors in neuronal feature selection is now out. Calcium-permeable AMPA receptors are pretty cool! Ingie Hong nature.com/articles/s4158…
