Talking about grating on your nerves! Ever wonder why PICA lacunes look like fingernail scratches on a chalkboard? Even though they're mainly athero or embolic they still tend to fall along the internal borderzone #medtwitter #meded #stroke #neurorad #neurotwitter #radres

It's been a long night of analysis, but these astrocytes keep me motivated!

Happy Sunday! 🌞 Staining for astrocytes (🟡)and nuclei (🔵) in the macaque hippocampus. #neuroscience ZEISS Microscopy

Expression no. 27 These “expressions” have taken over my August.

Why does #Alzheimer start where it starts? What's your opinion about it? #FluorescenceFriday is the day for my unanswered questions that don't let me sleep at night 😅. The image below shows early misfolded tau (🟡tau ps422) and neurons (🟣neun) in our AD monkey model.

Happy #MicroscopyMonday with good news, the CMS, the U.S. national health insurance program, expanded coverage of amyloid PET scans, removing the limitation of one scan per lifetime. cms.gov/medicare-cover… The image below shows the beginning of amyloid accumulation in the brain!

I am on my way to DC for #SfN23, but first, happy #FluorescenceFriday to an amazing community here 🤓🩷! The stitching in this photo is not great, but the misfolded tau propagation in the hippocampus of this early #Alzheimer monkey model is looking quite interesting!

‘If I could say it in words there would be no reason to paint’ Thoughts ? #PathTwitter #cytopath

One marker, many different images! Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), a standard marker for astrocytes, easily shows how diverse and multifunctional these cells are! My favorite are the ones showing their association with surrounding blood vessels, and you? 😍🧠🔬

Tremendous new resource by Dr. Bob Schmidt @wusm_pathology, a detailed online atlas of neuropathology! Check it out here neuropathologyatlas.wustl.edu It's a true labor of love by a legendary neuropathologist! #pathology #neuropath #pathtwitter
