We at @CureSHANK are so pleased to award @J_S_Farrell with our first Research-to-Cure Grant, focused on #SHANK3-related #epilepsy, a heartbreaking symptom of #phelanmcdermidsyndrome. Jordan's research aims to narrow the scope of future therapies to more selective targets.

It’s been quite a journey to get this out there, and it is finally out.

Key lesson: Black men are not hard to reach, you are failing to reach them. Get creative.

@dhyeynotDA @uOttawa Congratulations Dhyey!

[Jordan Farrell @J_S_Farrell]

Very happy to share our latest work from the @SolteszLab co-led w/ @EHwaun now online at @Nature. We take a deep dive into a neural activity pattern known as the hippocampal "dentate spike" and its role in cognition. https://t.co/tNhtK2ObqE

DSI is a form of synaptic plasticity mediated by endocannabinoids (eCBs). With @LinlinZFan, we demonstrated in vivo that place cell activity triggers eCB signals affecting GABAergic inputs; and that cannabinoid receptors modulate place cell tuning.

In prodromal stages of Alzheimer’s disease, RSC hypometabolism seems to predict cognitive impairment

Using a mouse model of AD, we identify sex-specific impairments in PV-INs in the RSC and provide a specific target for early therapeutic intervention
