Good news for science funding in Europe. Reappointed President von der Leyen says: We will increase our spending..on groundbreaking fundamental research.  To do this, we will expand the European Research Council and the European Innovation Council. commission.europa.eu/document/downl…

And it's a book! Together with Steve Ramirez, we have gathered some of the leading experts in the field who have generously contributed with a chapter of what has become the first ever book on #engram biology! 📖🔥🧠Come take a look! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Research from my group @ucc UCC Anat. & Neurosci Science Foundation Ireland APC Microbiome Ireland featured by David Robson in this week's issue of New Scientist with PhD student Sebastian Dohm-Hansen

Excited to share our #MultiRegion #SingleCell dissection of #Alzheimers out in nature today studying #Reelin in #RegionSpecific #NeuronalVulnerability, #CholineMetabolism and #PolyAmineBiosynthesis in #CognitiveResilience, #Astrocyte diversity, #Thalamus-specific #Interneurons,

Nice one, Nicolas, Nora and all; congrats!

So much important seems to be happening in the DG.. very interesting ms by the Amar Sahay group; An aging-sensitive compensatory secretory phospholipase that confers neuroprotection and cognitive resilience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Controlling for genetic and environmental confounding, study revealed 21-41% of mental health conditions in Australia are attributable to child maltreatment. Over 1.8 million cases & 184,000 DALYs could be prevented if child maltreatment was eliminated. ja.ma/4dqwc9c

Ever wonder how your brain tends it neural ‘garden?’ Amazing new article in Science Magazine on pruning shows ‘functioning neural circuits rely on the precise wiring of neurons to their appropriate synaptic partners. Initially, these connections are imprecise, with neurons making
