Excited to share our new preprint from my graduate work, a collaboration between the @brownlaboratory and @Sriram_S433 and others in the Kolodkin lab! Our study investigated how patterned excitatory connectivity is generated in the development of the cerebral cortex (1/6)

By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health and dangerous to our economy. TOMORROW, workers across the country are standing up and demanding: NO cuts to education and life-saving research.
