When neurons fire, mitochondria are activated and molecularly recalibrate, supporting cognitive processes So much more to learn about mitochondria in other cell types (glia) and the mind! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Scientists, now more than ever, need to explain their work to the public. Many years ago now, I gave a TEDMED talk about my lab’s research. tedmed.com/talks/show?id=…

1/12 How do animals build an internal map of the world? In our new paper, we tracked thousands of neurons in mouse CA1 over days/weeks as they learned a VR navigation task. Nelson Spruston HHMI | Janelia, w/ co-1st author Johan Winnubst Video summary: youtube.com/watch?v=yw_4uV… Paper:

Excited to share new work from the lab! Chris Gabriel’s exciting collaboration SAWilke, Asai Sanchez-Fuentes and Tanya Gupta, PhD : Transformations in prefrontal ensemble activity underlying rapid threat avoidance learning: Current Biology cell.com/current-biolog…

Great shoutout for Sourav lab for hosting the EMBO satellite meeting at BRIC-NBRC . A great line up of talks covering RNA regulation in neuro development disorders EMBO Events Department of Biotechnology

In this week’s nature, we publish a group effort to outline a framework for studies with neural #organoids, #assembloids and transplantation. More details below 1/n

🔬 The Liu Lab needed to image hundreds of RNA molecules in thick tissues but there weren’t any tools that were up to the task. 🧪 So, they built their own tool – and are now working to make it available to labs worldwide. #openscience janelia.org/news/new-metho…

We are looking for a new PhD student to join our lab of Neuroepigenetics at EPFL! Interested in deciphering the epigenetic mechanisms of memory formation, storage and change?🧠🧬Check out the specifics here: graefflab.epfl.ch

Our latest work extends ketamine’s antidepressant action science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… (1/5)

As grants started getting cancelled a few months ago, I felt compelled to give a voice to scientists whose work has been targeted & share with the public what they do & why it is so vital. Happy to announce the start of my new podcast, Science Amplified open.spotify.com/episode/6aUZHa…

Led by Ya'el Courtney, PhD and out today in Nature Neuroscience: the brain's fluid-secreting organ — the choroid plexus — can reshape neural development through a powerful, little-known process. & it can be hijacked by serotonergic drugs like LSD. 🧠👇 A thread rdcu.be/eoaSY

Stop the doom scrolling! A new 🗞️ from my lab, describing one of our flagship projects of many years we are super excited to share: "Inducible formation of fusion transcripts upregulates haploinsufficient CHD2 gene expression". A 🧵biorxiv.org/content/early/…

So excited and very proud to share a major part of my PhD and the result of an incredible international collaboration, now published in Blood Journal! We studied a rare infant leukemia (RM-AMKL) and uncovered key roles for m6A RNA modifications and Wnt signalling. 🧵A thread:

Incredibly important and beautiful work!
