Here it is! Can memory deficits in Alzheimer's and schizophrenia be treated by mixing PV interneurons, mGlur5, neuropeptides and gamma oscillations?
Check out our Opinion piece in @TrendsinPharma out now 👋
Thank you IN-CODE (@bartos_marlene) for funding!

Extremely flattered to have our @ScienceAdvances paper mentioned in @TrendsNeuro by interneuron & oscillation virtuosos @TheCraigLab!!
They discuss how gamma plasticity may interact with the peptide NPTX2 in health and disease. Indeed, someone should elaborate on that ... 🤔
🧠 Curious about how neurons are wired in the human cortex?
Our @ScienceMagazine study tested over 7,000 connections and revealed key differences from rodents:
"Directed and acyclic synaptic connectivity in the human layer 2-3 cortical microcircuit". 🧵👇https://t.co/yUeQjbDSh7
Well, this is awkward … my paper is out in @ScienceAdvances! And everyone’s tweeting about it … except me … 🫣
Together with @ATzilivaki, we show “interesting data, primitive method” (real quote from real prof). But what’s it about?
Y’all read – me parental leave 👇👇👇
As he wasn't mentioned earlier: I would like to specifically thank x-less Henrik Alle for his immense contribution to this paper. Also, generous funding came from @Retune_CRC and the interneuron plasticity grant FOR2143 by @bartos_marlene
Excited to finally share our multipatch data with 964 patched human pyramidal neurons! 🥳 We identified functional subtypes in L2-3 that are preserved across patients! Have a look at our bioRxiv preprint https://t.co/e9jFR8XNeB and join our live poster session on Thursday 👇.
Work led by a fantastic post-doc, Andres Grosmark in the lab on the role of hippocampal sharp wave ripples in long-term memory consolidation. https://t.co/oscrJYIMar
Precisely timed theta oscillations are selectively required during the encoding phase of a spatial working #memory task

A day to be thankful: this country gave me a chance with a great education and support for basic research. And for my labbies and collaborators for partnering with me. So glad @NancyAHong captured this "touching" moment. #PIEZO
Nicer #Klimastreik 🤗🌻🏳️🌈 Lasst mal jetzt Berlin klimaneutral machen bis 2030, so schnell wie möglich raus aus Kohle und Massentierhaltung und das 1,5°C-Ziel schaffen. Okay?
So this is an amazingly fascinating topic with a lot if potential: How do ionotropic and electronic transmission in interneurons cooperate during states of increased activity? Also in interneurons, function follows form - we often forget about this. Also, check out the paper ^^
Optogenetic boosting of Pv neuronal bursts, requiring GJs, rescues cortical social cognition in Shank2–/– mice, similar to NMDAR-dependent social rescue. NMDARs and gap junctions cooperate to promote social cognition. #Autism#neuroscience#openaccess

And a great response thread! However, t-SNEs and similar are disturbingly over-used imho and should only be implemented by experts in hypothesis generation/evaluation
There's a new preprint calling to stop using UMAP, t-SNE et al, calling them arbitrary "Specious Art", which I disagree with. It's getting a lot of attention, and I think I have an idea why.
@thejenjay Frankly I never cared about cutting as long as it's not outlandish only thing that matters is recovery and that's where you make the big bucks
