Looking forward to Leslie Vosshall PhD's visit this Thursday to receive the Perl/@UNCneuro prize and hear more about her research! March 14, 2023 at 4:00 pm in 1131 Bioinformatics Bldg.

Our pandemic project is finally out Ryan Mills ! nature.com/articles/s4146… Once we were able to look at enough single neuronal genomes we found that many have wildly aberrant genomes.

This is a beautiful and thorough study with brain tissue from rhesus monkeys. Suggests Angelman syndrome could initiate during mid-fetal development, when a long non-coding RNA (UBE3A-ATS) turns on and silences the paternal copy of UBE3A in postmitotic neurons.

Gene editing of APP C-terminus rescues neuropathology, ephys, behavior, and transcriptomic changes in #alzheimer knockin mice. Led by Brent Aulston, collaboration with labs of Krishanu Saha Mark Zylka Marcelo Wood Jon Audhya (Madison) #crispr #therapeutics biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Just Announced! The #KavliPrize2024 Laureates in #Neuroscience!

Congratulations Nancy Kanwisher Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Winrich Freiwald Rockefeller University Doris Tsao Caltech HHMI for being awarded the 2024 Kavli Prize !! As social primates, we love seeing faces, and this trio made ground-breaking discoveries in how our brains recognize and interpret faces

A new small molecule for Angelman. Unsilences paternal Ube3a and is not a topoisomerase inhibitor. Very nice and comprehensive study by Ben.

Now in #PAIN: “Development of PainFace software to simplify, standardize, and scale up mouse grimace analyses” by Mark Zylka Jeffrey Mogil et al. bit.ly/3LiZDOg

Based on the latest metrics we collect, there are now over 400 registered users who have analyzed >36.5 million images for facial grimacing! Anyone can use this cloud-based software at painface.net
