Huge congratulations to all the authors! A collaboration across Leeds, Shijiazhuang and Cincinnati.

Thanks to Professor Nikita Gamper and Dr Fred Jones for their supervision during my undergraduate project @UniversityLeeds @ScienceLeeds

Insight into how sattelite glial cells mediate gabaergic tone across the DRG in the peripheral gating of #nociception #pain

Very grateful to have a small part of my undergraduate thesis published! Look forward to seeing new developments in #chronicpain #therapeutics

@CecilieNome @FENSorg @encods2024 So kind Cecilie, thank you!

[Benito Maffei @maffeibenito]

Thank you @FENSorg and @encods2024 for two great conferences. It was a pleasure to give my first talk at an international research conference and even better to win BEST FLASH TALK from the audience and panel vote 🥳 #FENS2024 #genetherapy

Excited for another day at #FENS2024 in sunny Vienna. If you want to hear about our gene therapy strategies for #tauopathies stop by poster 712 in the afternoon session! @FENSorg @UCLIoN @LignaniLab_UCL #tau #genetherapy

How does the brain select what to consolidate during sleep? New in @sciencemagazine , our work (https://t.co/9AqhbvNYc2) sheds light on the brain's mechanism for selective memory consolidation. 🧵👇1/n

Day 1 in DC for the #Tau2024 conference is done! Important discussions on the need for more global perspectives when searching for disease mechanisms and biomarkers to deliver tau-directed therapeutics that work for all

[Prof Tara Spires-Jones @TSpiresJones]

Very glad to share these negative results beautifully presented by @ScotsFriction @ClaireDurrant1 and team. Fly neurons in our hands are very resistant to trans-synaptic spread of human tau! 🪰

Pavey et al. report that cortical hyperexcitability in ALS is mediated by dysfunction of distinct inhibitory and facilitatory cortical neuronal populations. Restoring function of the dysfunctional cortical neuronal populations may have therapeutic utility. https://t.co/XmcIH1bWHJ

Check out our new paper showing many similar protein changes in brains from people with #epilepsy and #Alzheimers

Intriguingly, protein changes suggest #tau could be a common link

"It is very exciting to see that this new gene therapy could potentially be used as an effective alternative to surgery in patients with focal cortical dysplasia."

November is Epilepsy awareness month.

According to Epilepsy Action, 4 in 10 UK managers admit they wouldn't hire a person with the condition.

We sent @EdiBow to find out how one institution is trying to make a difference.
