Thrilled to preprint my postdoc work in the @IoannouLab ! 🚀 Using live-cell and two-photon imaging, we reveal that Parkinson’s-linked glucosylceramide changes drive the formation and shedding of ectosomes, fueling α-synuclein spread. This pathway has broad implication in PD.

Congratulations to lead author Michelle Cahill, @MonadMax, @vincenttse, and team for this work on how astrocytes respond to glutamate and GABA, the two major neurotransmitters in the brain. 🎉 nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Network-level encoding of local neurotransmitters in cortical astrocytes

Nature - A study investigates subcellular, single-cell and network-level comunication within the astrocyte network in response to the two major neurotransmitter inputs.

Following up on @AnnatheNeurosci's tweet, for Christian's paper: cell.com/current-biology/ful… We're looking to add some keen graduate, postdocs, and RA's to the team. Projects focused on claustrum, pain, unconsciousness, etc. Reach out to Anna or I if you are interested.

Claustrum projections to the anterior cingulate modulate nociceptive and pain-associated behavior

Faig et al. show that pain activates the claustrum in a temporally specific manner. Chronic pain leads to loss of function of claustrocingulate projection neurons, and activation of this pathway...

Brain-state-dependent constraints on claustrocortical communication and function

Marriott et al. show that claustrum neurons projecting to the retrosplenial cortex are suppressed during desynchronized cortical states such as locomotion, high arousal, and REM sleep. However, these...

Interested in the Claustrum? With @_jesse_jackson, we studied whether there is an optimal brain state for claustrocortical communication and how it participates in cognitive processes. With @UofAResearch, @INSB_CNRS, @unistra, @IRSC_CIHR, @neurostra biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
