I’m proud to share our new paper dissecting norepinephrine (NE), astrocytes, and arousal in cortical circuits, a project led by PhD student Michael Reitman: nature.com/articles/s4159…. As often happens in science, an unexpected result gave us a big clue in this project. 🧵 1/12

Dissociation Between Neuronal And Astrocytic Calcium Activity in Response to Locomotion in Mice academic.oup.com/function/advan…

Just published! 🥁 Hippocampal neurons reinstate specific episodic memories in humans. These Episode Specific Neurons are independent of Concept Neurons or Time Cells and code the conjunction of elements that make up the event. Check it out here: nature.com/articles/s4156…

To all the #Astrocyte lovers: Can I get a few quick opinions on the best ways to "silence" astrocytes? I know that's a loaded question. Let's maybe start with good ways to prevent calcium signaling in astrocytes (but I'm also curious about other non-calcium-based interventions)

If your question is how #astrocytes take part in information processing together with neuronal circuits, "Contextual guidance" may be the answer. nature.com/articles/s4159…

You can open a neuroscience textbook and read about the basic input-output function of neurons, right? We—astrocyte biologists—were jealous. PhD student Michelle Cahill wanted to map input-response dynamics in astrocytes. Surprising results in here: x.com/biorxiv_neursc… 1/x

Please check out our study on VIP interneurons & attention, now published in Neuron. Particularly proud that this first paper from the lab is essentially a negative result! cell.com/neuron/fulltex… Led by the amazing @DMyersJoseph with Katharina Wilmes Marian Fernandez & ClopathLab

Going back to university 25 years later to pursue a Behavioral Neuroscience🧠degree (micro). After so long, the enrollment was made incredibly easy thanks to the student service support from Facultad de Psicología de la UNED! 🎉 #backtoschool #neuroscience

Our latest review article on how #dendrites can help advance #Machine_Learning is officially out! 🎉🎉Congrats to Michalis Pagkalos and Roman Makarov and thanks for an inspiring an fun collaboration😊 Poirazi Lab @IMBB_FORTH

Great talk from Mac Shine! youtube.com/live/ccG6ctQpU…

As a scientist, one of my absolute fav things to do is apply methods that we've developed to imaging datasets from the literature that we love to test our theories of how the brain is organised. Our newest paper in Cell Reports led by Natasha Taylor ticks all these boxes!

We are excited to share our program at a glance for #AstrocyteCafe2024. Thanks to all our scientific committee and to ⁦Kernel-Science⁩ for all the help with the organization 🤩💪 Looking forward to meeting you in Trieste!

Poster printed and packed! It's ready to travel next Wednesday to Trieste for AstrocyteCafe 2024 conference! Can't wait!! #AstrocyteCafe2024

Back from #astrocytecafe2024. An incredible experience with this amazingly talented and supportive community. Huge thanks to Dr. Carmen Falcone, Nilhan Gunhanlar, and all who made it possible, and to sebastiano curreli and Cahuê Murat for your invaluable mentoring and friendly support!

Waiting for exciting stories to be compiled in this nice special issue at Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience... Want to contribute? Contact me!

Kim Kim Stachenfeld (neurokim.bsky.social) has her fingertips on two horizons, both of which offer boundless possibilities... a fantastic way to think and make a living. Thanks to The Transmitter - the first BI episode of our new partnership: thetransmitter.org. braininspired.co/podcast/193/

The cells, long cast as support players in memory research, can activate or disrupt fear memories, according to a new study. By Angie Voyles Askham thetransmitter.org/memory/astrocy…

🚨 First paper from the Bocchi lab out now in Nature Communications! We show that astrocytes in the cortex arise from not one, but two distinct progenitor lineages, each giving rise to specialized subtypes with distinct roles. Here the story📖 doi.org/10.1038/s41467… See 🧵below for more.
