@BackyardBrains so much fun!! Starting to think on potential experiments for my students!

Albert has a new toy... Albertito! It is a Backyard Brains SpikerBot: an educational robot controlled by simulated neural circuits. In theory, he will use it to teach neuroscience, but he is having lots (too much?) of fun meanwhile! @albert_qr78

👀Afectan a 1 de cada 5000 personas, y causan síntomas tan variados como fatiga, debilidad muscular, neurodegeneración… Hablamos de enfermedades mitocondriales, junto con el investigador de nuestra red Albert Quintana. Léelo en el blog:⬇️ bit.ly/4rzjbBg

1/👥Las enfermedades se llaman raras si afectan a menos de 1 entre 2000 personas. ¿Pero siguen siendo raras si pensamos que afectan a 300 millones de personas? En el #DíaMundialEnfermedadesRaras hacemos foco en 1 de los 7000 tipos que existen: las enfermedades mitocondriales. Te las explicamos:👇🧵 bit.ly/4rzjbBg

Mitochondrial-associated epilepsy is often progressive and difficult to control. Here, Albert Quintana @albert_qr78 & @QuintanaLab @UABBarcelona @INC_UAB @BCFI_UAB uncover how faulty brain wiring drives mitochondrial epilepsy in a #LeighSyndrome mouse model, proposing ways to stop seizures in otherwise untreatable childhood cases: doi.org/10.1172/JCI187571 The figure shows three patterns of neuronal activation (indicated by c-Fos protein expression) in response to fatal epileptic events in mice lacking the NDUFS4 subunit of mitochondrial complex I in Gad2-expressing GABAergic neurons.

🪫 En las enfermedades mitocondriales se dañan los sistemas de producción de energía del cuerpo. Con #HealthResearch, Albert Quintana (@quintanalab @INC_UAB) investiga si las células confunden esos daños con un ataque vírico, lo que estaría agravando la enfermedad. tinyurl.com/2s423e8m

Proud to highlight the contribution of @SJuradoLab & María Royo to a new study with @QuintanaLab, exploring alterations in the excitation/inhibition balance in the external globus pallidus (GPe) linked to mitochondrial-disease-induced epilepsy 👇
