The same gene mutation that causes Huntington’s disease may also promote higher intelligence, according to new research led by Peg Nopoulos, MD. This may have implications for treatments and enhance our understanding of the heritability of intelligence. https://t.co/VwlHCc1HFa

Our new work on the inhibitory control of LANGUAGE is now available at JEP:General. This is a wonderful collab between Kristi Hendrickson (also my wife) and my labs, first-authored by a former undergrad who joined us after our #FirstGen workshop. 🧵 below https://t.co/1nbZuumx8u

With the help of a growing number of twice-exceptional #2e research participants and our 7T MRI scanner, a team from the Michaelson Lab has begun to find evidence for the importance of the corpus callosum in processing speed https://t.co/8cjuEbb1Cg

[Iowa Neuroscience Institute @UIowaNeuro]

New Glykys Lab research @UIowaPeds @SfNJournals demonstrates that multiple disease-relevant insults cause the opening of nuclear pores in the developing brain through a calpain-mediated process suppressing neuronal circuit activity & increasing cell death https://t.co/VwlX13zOjD

This afternoon’s #SfN2024 poster session features great work by Iowa neuroscientists studying cognitive control. Stop by section 483 (U4-U11) @IowaControl @kaihwang12 @jfjiang @Wessel_Lab

[Iowa Neuroscience Institute @UIowaNeuro]

Visit #SfN2024 poster section 354 (L13-20) for five posters featuring sleep research by Iowa neuroscientists and collaborators @iowaneurosurg @prof_BBaran

[Tempest Henneghan @thenneghan]

Today’s the day! 🎉 Come visit me at poster LBA2 from 8-12pm to hear about my research on the long-range inhibitory projection between the Auditory Cortex and Lateral Amygdala in fear memory formation and retrieval. 🧠👂

Early career neuroscientists, check out today’s #SfN2024 Professional Development Workshop on developing a career roadmap (noon-2pm, rm S402.) Iowa’s Dan Tranel is a panelist—you won’t find a better guide!

[Iowa Neuroscience Institute @UIowaNeuro]

Fantastic collaboration led by INI’s Chris Petkov at PSTR193.12 / X11 this morning #SfN2024. This work started as an INI Accelerator Grant and has just received NIH #BRAINInitiative funding

[Iowa Neuroscience Institute @UIowaNeuro]

We spy two of our iDREAM scholars joining this fabulous community in person for the first time. Bursting with pride! @THenneghan

[Angeline J. Dukes, PhD @HeyDrDukes]

Another excellent #BlackInNeuro social 🤩 our community is constantly growing thriving ✨

This isn’t even everyone who was there 😭 but I love us forreal 🙌🏾

[CEN @CEN_ITN]

It's an honour to have been selected to deliver this fantastic mini-symposium during the #SFN24

Our speakers are ready to show:
🥰 how the cerebellum is enrolled in much more than motor tasks

📡 how it communicates with other brain areas

⚕️ its roles in health and disease
