Sur Lab

Laboratory of Mriganka Sur. Our goal is to discover fundamental mechanisms of brain wiring/processing, and how they go awry in disorders of brain development.

New in @SfNJournals from @SurLabMIT: Astrocytes play a crucial partnership role with motor cortex neurons as they encode learning of skilled movement tasks. https://t.co/1mQILkrRak @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT #neuroscience #MIT @neuro_runnerd @ChloeDelepine

Today's FDA approval of #Trofinetide could bring new, much needed hope to many with #Rettsyndrome and their families. In 2009 @SurLabMIT made the first preclinical showing that IGF-1 could have therapeutic potential. https://t.co/BbPstqBZEp @mit @mitscience @mitbrainandcog

The Sur Lab is delighted to be celebrating the successful thesis defense of Dr. Ning Leow! Congratulations, @whatnowning !

[MIT Picower Institute @MIT_Picower]

🎉Congratulations to Dr. Yi Ning Leow (@whatnowning) on her successful thesis defense today! @SurLabMIT

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

The brain uses basic calculus to quickly halt fast movements — a surprisingly clever way to control behaviors that need to be more precise than the commands from the brain can be. @KSHartnett reports: https://t.co/h3APqQGKyw

New in @eLife: In organoids modeling Rett syndrome, MIT researchers used an advanced form of three-photon microscopy to observe that newborn neurons struggle to migrate properly. https://t.co/nsUk7FvjU7 #neurosciencd @ScienceMIT #rettsyndrome

Running to catch the bus? The brain is wired for the rapid calculus needed to bring you to a halt right at the doors before they close, a new @SurLabMIT study in @CellReports suggests. https://t.co/WZ40XzS6U5 #neuroscience @mitbrainandcog @ScienceMIT

Out in @Nature today, our latest effort at understanding norepinephrine spatiotemporal dynamics during learned behavior. Work done with @gabidrummond24 while I was transitioning from the @surlabmit to my new position @CERVO. https://t.co/vG9sPH3kIt Thread (1/9):
