For #RareDiseaseDay we're returning to a BNAdv article on information processing in a mouse model of Ehmt1 haploinsufficiency, which is associated with rare neurodevelopmental conditions such as Kleefstra syndrome. Authors @bribrdav @ProfAntIsles et al https://t.co/9WkV3A0GOP

This is the first time logging into "X". My "Twitter" publicity game is dwindling into nothing. But, I do want to say I am proud that we contributed to the latest work from Brittany Davis in the Maher lab showing synaptic dysfunction after TCF4 loss.

@GalHaspel @YeminiLab @eboyden3 @geochurch @cfangyen @wormsense @Anne_C_Hart @kkagias @AdamMarblestone @hpfister @horacerot @Monika_K_Scholz @shlizee @Qsimeon @Zimmer_Lab @galhaspel et al been stuck in this experiment since I saw post. In trying to answer my own questions... seems 2 photon voltage imaging paired with single-cell res holographic stimulation of opsin would be what you would want. Until then maybe not quite time...

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@KordingLab Also photo bleaching will be an issue. So might have to threshold each cell so depolarization is at similar magnitude/tuned to particular cell and use individual holographic imagining to reduce light exposure. But probably will want both optical and electrical control.

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@KordingLab Optical? Temporal dynamics aren’t great. Even if we have opsin fast enough to stimulate neurons at a similar frequency as electrical stimulation (maybe?) do we have microscopes that can capture necessary frame rate across entire brain? (these are genuine questions)

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@Oliver__Hahn @CellCellPress @wysscoray Wow, super interesting! And hopeful, even? A continuously dividing population of cells--lots of potential for anti-aging therapeutics! Congrats!

[Maher Lab @LabMaher]

Ecstatic to announce our latest paper is out in @BiologicalPsyc1 on @PittHopkins ! Special thanks to @bribrdav who led this work along with the many current and former @maherlab members and collaborators @luikartlab and @MadhaviTippani and @andrewejaffe

Our paper is out! We found that a transcription factor #TCF4 is a part of human neural #development, and it regulates (RIMBP2) which is disrupted in #autism spectrum disorders (#ASD)! It's free access this month!

@BadoiPhan @wickedneuro Congrats! I'm so amazed by your trajectory. Keep going!!!

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@TempletonWorld @PittTweet @wileyprof Great study!

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@richardedden Congrats!!

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@Primalprimate And not to be too pedantic. But these regions 'light up' for most socio-emotional processing, this does not mean we're constantly experience disgust. Also by 'light up' you mean an fMRI study? Which famously look at changes in blood flow and not circuitry dynamics/activity?

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@Primalprimate Haha primitive? It's among the most complex biological structures known... so what would a 'non-primitive' brain look like?

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@grainne_mcn @DermaKarger @KargerPublisher Appreciate your dedication!

@kaymtye you can check it out here: https://t.co/m5qQ8hCEdK

[Brittany Davis @bribrdav]

@kaymtye lists—though you can obviously reference in answering the prompts. It seems to be an effort to de-emphasize the prestige of labs/pubs/funding etc, while offering room to expound on career breaks, science comm., training others, and good science citizenship!
