Harwell Lab

Developmental neurobiology lab at UCSF. Account maintained by lab members. Lab website coming soon, as it has been since 2013...

Many thanks to everyone involved in the study, to our wonderful collaborators @UCSFstemcell, @ChanZuckerberg, @dgsomucla (@yezhangyezhang) and our funding sources, particularly the grants from @NIH, without which none of this work would be possible.

Hi everyone. We haven't been too active on here lately (more on that soon), but we have still been doing some great science. The latest paper from our lab, led by the exceptionally talented @YajunXie is finally out at @NatureNeuro! Short summary below... https://t.co/xm5HzS0Jnv

This study highlights the diversity and plasticity of astrocytes - these beautiful cells that form constellations throughout the brain and contribute crucially to circuit development, maintenance and function, can bloom wherever they are, regardless of where they came from

I'm so excited to share my first preprint from @Lab_Pollen at @UCSF on the phylogenetic and spatial distribution of TAC3 interneurons. This story was an adventure filled with twists and turns we never saw coming. Check out the preprint and a summary below!

Please check our newest study on @biorxivpreprint - a tour de force led by the phenomenal @Chris_M_Reid, describing the diversity of neurons in the lateral septum in terms of transcriptomics, anatomical distribution, connectivity and electrophysiology: https://t.co/MQAtPvSBRH

(funnily enough, Corey complained about how big his face looked on the preview when we posted the link on Slack, and it turns out to be *even bigger* here... Sorry, boss!)

If you want to know a bit more about Corey, please check this interesting piece in @NatureNeuro, where he discusses his background and career path with @sharilwiseman: https://t.co/BZ1NrmneMH

Thank you all!AND We are still collecting feedback!🤗

[Harwell Lab @Harwell_Lab]

Another preprint from the lab! We dive deeper into the septum, exploring its astrocyte diversity. The fantastic @YajunXie led this impressive project to answer a BIG question: is it nature or nurture for astrocyte specification? Take a look to find out!

Here is the latest from the lab! Our first preprint since we moved to UCSF, but it has been in the works for some time - we first noticed this exciting phenotype (see Figure 1) almost seven years ago, and have been intrigued and fascinated by the septum ever since...

[Miguel Turrero García @miguel_turrero]

I’m so excited to share the results of our long-running project. Wonder what happened when we (unexpectedly) removed Nkx2.1-lineage neurons from the lateral septum? Well, it started like that, then grew and grew… Here’s the pre-print - we look forward to any and all feedback!

[Harwell Lab @Harwell_Lab]

Huge congratulations to Dr. Simon! We are all really looking forward to having Rhiana join us for her postdoc - and to her upcoming (and fantastic!) paper as well...

[Rhiana C Simon, PhD @mouse_braind]

It finally happened. After 7 years, I'm finally a doctor 🥳 Many thanks to @gstuber for his wonderful mentorship over the years! I'm so excited to next start my postdoc over at the @Harwell_Lab in a couple months!!

[Jeff Stogsdill @jeff_stogsdill]

Are you interested in what #astrocytes do in the context of synapses and white matter of the 🧠? We wrote a review for that!
