🧵 New paper out in @JNeurosci! We found an unexpected source of histamine in the developing brain — and it may help explain Tourette's & OCD. A thread 👇

Congratulations to Naia Marcelino for concluding a very successful vist with the team at @OxfordDPAG
Naia became an expert in striatal pathways and contributed to develop new technologies to create a mini-striatum with hiPSCs. Very well done! @WadeMartinsLab @SPC_Oxford

5/ WHY IT MATTERS 🧠
This reframes how we think about histamine signalling: it acts as a *paracrine* neuromodulator, crossing anatomical boundaries. With BNST-DBS already showing efficacy in OCD, histamine release may contribute to its rapid therapeutic effects.

A few years back, Ricardo (@rmargoneuro) and I envisioned a way to turn the spontaneous, cross-disciplinary conversations of #Oxford researchers into something more enduring, a framework that could help those everyday ideas evolve into real, tangible collaborations.

[Ricardo Márquez Gómez @rmargoneuro]

Interdisciplinary collaboration is at the core of technology development.
Hence, we developed #CrossLinks a program tailored to @StCrossCollege to transform ideas into tangible outcomes.
Check it out and support the fundraising!

Our second edition of the Histamine Receptors book is out as e-book! We contributed with an updated chapter on histamine H3 receptors modulation of neurotransmitter release in the Basal Ganglia and Nucleus Accumbens.

Check it out and reach out!

PhD star Oliver Curry giving a great invited talk at Development of Dopaminergic System Symposium on generating fast-printed and miniaturizad #organoids to study #Parkinson. First congress, first invited talk, fantastic work! @OxfordDPAG @OxfordChemistry @WadeMartinsLab

[Medical Sciences @OxfordMedSci]

NEWS: Oxford biologists and engineers awarded £2 million to grow human neurons as brain circuits in chambers made of oil

Researchers from @OxfordDPAG and the Dept of Engineering will study the physiology, regulation and cellular architecture of neurons.

Couple weeks ago @AishwaryaVedul passed her PhD transfer with flying colours! Congratulations Ash! Setting a solid direction for her PhD, researching purinergic signalling in hiPSCs and mouse models @OxfordDPAG @WadeMartinsLab @StephCragg

[Ricardo Márquez Gómez @rmargoneuro]

Starting the year with new grant! Expanding on modelling neuronal microcircuits relevant for #neurodegeneration using #hiPSCs and fluid-walls #microfluidics Great interdisciplinary collaboration between neuroscientists and engineers @BBSRC @KavliOxford @WadeMartinsLab @OxfordDPAG

Hi all! I'll be chairing a seminar with @RSocPublishing to chat about the recently published paper about the involvement of cell adhesion molecule contactin-4 in #Alzheimers.
Join us on 19 August :)
