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…
"The lifestyle choices you make in middle age play a particularly important role in how your brain ages." 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
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…
Important report from The Lancet showing that nearly half (..) of #dementia cases could be prevented by addressing risk factors from #earlylife onward.
Latest from the lab: we uncover a link between disrupted human neuronal neoteny and SYNGAP1 mutations causal for ID/ASD. Amazing tour de force by Ben Vermaercke together with Iwata Ryohei, Keimpe Wierda , wonderful collaboration with Vincent Bonin. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… 👇
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
