newer techniques for visualizing neuronal morphology come out constantly but I gotta tell you, there’s nothing like Golgi staining 🧠
I took these images of an adult mouse cortex with my iPhone

The manuscript, in which we identified that mutations in ASD/ID risk gene DYRK1A cause microcephaly and decreased neuronal growth through decreased growth factor signaling, can be found here. @LittleLevyy

Thank you to @BiologicalPsyc1 for making my #sofla office view even better! And a big shoutout to my graduate student @LittleLevyy for her hard work in acquiring these images🧠 @ScrippsGradPrgm @UFScripps
December already?! Here, our November birthdays still practicing the safe way to make a birthday wish 😉👏👏👏Happy birthday to @LittleLevyy@AECAllen18 and Ting An(not pictured but did a great journal club presentation today! Welcome to our lab, too!)
Congratulations to Scripps Research’s Ardem Patapoutian, who has been awarded the 2021 #NobelPrize for Physiology or Medicine. Patapoutian wins the award jointly with David Julius, for the discovery of receptors that sense temperature and touch https://t.co/AQC3vTD9i6 @ardemp
We are so honored to have our image on the cover. We love this classic technique for neuronal visualization & we can’t help but think of it as art 🎨 Props to the paper’s first author @LittleLevyy for her hard work optimizing Golgi staining & taking this image @BiologicalPsyc1
Our paper on how #DYRK1A mutations cause microcephaly and #autism relevant phenotypes in mice is out now in the September issue of @BiologicalPsyc1 🧠 https://t.co/UIvMKk1t8a
sure the ‘photo dump’ is reminiscent of early Instagram culture & aligns with the movement to make IG casual again but it’s so often a performance of informality that is ironically more carefully curated than ever

Citations for our journal reached an all time high this year with 50,155 📈Thanks to all of our contributors for doing such impactful (no pun intended) work 🤗
A method to generate new neurons in the cortex and dentate gyrus of aged mice with a single injection of an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO), opening prospects for replacing neurons lost to neurodegenerative disease

“One of the most exciting strengths of this work is that the authors are able to rescue the neural phenotypes pharmacologically, and one of the tested approaches is already FDA-approved,” says Summer Thyme https://t.co/t2c7i3hP9X
The latest discoveries by @damonpagelab suggest that key genes in growth signaling pathways play a role in the intellectual disability or developmental delay found in types of #autism https://t.co/J4N54Nwsqe @PeterNHess for @Spectrum
