Very happy to finally share this. Cortical hyperexcitability in ALS patients & tg mice can be assessed by means of phase-amplitude coupling & is driven by a noradrenergic deficit. Major team effort! Big thanks to Véronique Marchand-Pauvert and the fantastic Caroline Rouaux.
I am very thankful to all who contributed and especially proud of my students Katarina, Courtney and most of all Anna, who developed this project, lifted it off the ground and saw it through to the end!
Very happy to share one of the first works from my lab:
A B cell–driven EAE mouse model reveals the impact of B cell–derived cytokines on CNS autoimmunity | PNAS https://t.co/meXXkP58RP
We developed a B cell-driven EAE model, where B cells provide the critical stimulus for disease development. Our system allows for genetic manipulation of B cells prior to transfer and thus is a tool to investigate B cell pathogenicity.
Very happy to share this preprint from my lab and so proud of my team and collaborators!
Want to see (live!) what T and B cells are doing in meningeal follicles? Check it out:

👯🪩 For Tomorrow's 2nd ppt #JournalClub Ramojus Balevicius @karolinskainst will discuss a #preprint by the Peters lab @LMU_Muenchen describing a pro-inflammatory role of T:B cell interactions happening in lymphoid follicles-like structures in EAE🧠🧨

Great thanks to @mssociety for funding our research of the gut microbiome as a potential trigger of MS in the @MS_TWIN_STUDY 🥳🥳 https://t.co/f8oE5G2TpN
