I am looking to hire a motivated RA who wants to take on an active role in ChrisAWalsh lab in cutting edge research focused on the role of somatic mutations in focal epilepsy. This position is ideal for candidates taking 2 years before graduate school. Plz RT!

Researchers report a site-specific, reversible phosphorylation of the #Parkinsons-associated protein α-synuclein at Serine129 which occurs physiologically during neuronal activity; "Adds nuance to the interpretation of pS129 as a synucleinopathy biomarker" nature.com/articles/s4153…

New #neuroscience research in @SciSignal decodes the connection between alpha-synuclein—a core driver of #ParkinsonsDisease—and the protein synaptotagmin-11 (Syt11) and may explain why Syt11 has been identified as a potential risk factor. scim.ag/1EE

This is very important work with major implications for the neurodegeneration field. congratulations!

Thanks to Movement Disorders Journal for their commentary on our recent work. …mentdisorders.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/md…

MBoC Clark et al Gary Ho, MD, PhD and Brigham and Women's Neurology, in a model of human cortical neurons, uncover a highly specific upregulation of vGlut2 in response to certain @Parkinsons disease associated toxins. This has important implications for @Parkinsons . doi.org/10.1091/mbc.E2…
