More interesting work from our lab! We found that Cbln1 specifically directs corticospinal axons towards thoraco-lumbar spinal cord. Project that was started already a while ago by @Sahni_Lab and @jhtsong at Jeff Macklis' lab. https://t.co/YA4kiN3oO9
Our work is finally out! In @Sahni_Lab, we established a novel microlesion model to precisely cut CST in neonates. We found that long-distance regenerative ability of CST is lost early (during active growth) and first in rostral, then caudal spinal cord. https://t.co/q1zCTPYec8
It’s out! Our first paper shows that CSN axons exhibit targeting specificity in spinal white matter, well before making synaptic connections with spinal circuits. CSN projecting to distinct spinal levels can now be identified molecularly in development. https://t.co/UAIfC7RgPP
Happy Wednesday everyone! We're almost to the weekend! Bu get even more excited for next Tuesday's seminar with @CaffertyLab & @AnaVivinetto! Our moderator will @LYGraves.
If you want to find out more about the transcriptional mechanisms underlying corticospinal axon targeting, check out these two excellent talks on neuromatch by @JuliaKaiser 8787 @carolinruv at 5 and 5:15pm EST.

NMC 3.0 is coming soon (Oct 26-30). We accepted 100% of submissions. Scientists from all aspects of neuroscience are invited to join us. We feature six thematic threads, dozens of keynotes, mini symposia, ~900 contributed talks, and inclusivity events to improve our field #nmc3
Our special programming sponsored by @SpinalResearch kicks off next week! Check out the line-up of specially selected speakers for the month of September.

As always, stay tuned for more deets, RT, & join us for some fantastic cutting edge SCI research seminars.

I wrote out some thoughts on how to make this moment a real turning point to bring about real change––and pulled together some resources to help young activists sustain the momentum by channeling their energy into concrete action. https://t.co/jEczrOeFdv
