[Alan Gutman-Wei @weitforit]

Excited to share our new preprint from my graduate work, a collaboration between the @brownlaboratory and @Sriram_S433 and others in the Kolodkin lab! Our study investigated how patterned excitatory connectivity is generated in the development of the cerebral cortex (1/6)

[Alan Gutman-Wei @weitforit]

Check out our preprint for details! https://t.co/f9vsWP2lVY
We also look at the development of layer 6 corticothalamic neuron dendrites, the maturation of PV interneuron physiology and connectivity, and more

Synaptogenesis is selective for parvalbumin interneurons within layer 6, and in translaminar connections to layer 4. This is despite these interneurons being far less abundant than neighboring excitatory neuron types in both layers (end)

[Alan Gutman-Wei @weitforit]

How does developmental neuronal activity affect axon arbor growth? We found that hyperpolarizing layer 6 corticothalamic neurons increased axon arbor elaboration specifically in layer 6, but not in layers 4 or 5 (4/6)

[Alan Gutman-Wei @weitforit]

When and how do layer 6 corticothalamic neurons elaborate their intracortical axon branches? Using sparse labeling and lightsheet imaging we found two stages of outgrowth separated by a period of stasis in the first two postnatal weeks (3/6)

Come join my new lab at the Medical University of Vienna! I study how neurons and astrocytes interact in the brain and how this affects brain development.

From my notes: “missed a few slides. cat”

[Tim Mosca (he/him) @drosophilosophy]

yeah, your meeting is cool, but is it cats sitting on your lap during the talks cool? because #emboneuronalremodelling23 is ...

@muhbilal_1 @AlexMayaRomero2 Hi! The program is limited to US citizens or permanent residents, or international students who are studying at US universities

[Alan Gutman-Wei @weitforit]

@vicnandafy11 @HopkinsNeuro @HopkinsKavli Any university! The program is actually mostly geared toward non-Hopkins students

[Alan Gutman-Wei @weitforit]

Neuro twitter, please share! Both @HopkinsNeuro and @HopkinsKavli have summer research opportunities for undergrads, with applications due Feb 1. Students will be paired with a lab at Hopkins based on their interests, and it's fully funded! Apply here: https://t.co/jc86iGsha1

My triannual gripe that collaborative science continues to be penalized... Especially since the reviewer's comment is simply not accurate. Co-last = last. Co-senior = senior. Regardless, I continue to be proud of my productivity, collaborative projects, and partners.

Insane that I'm being barred from our departmental diversity, equity, and inclusion committee because I'm a sixth year student, despite being an active member for 4 years (both pre-, during & post-pandemic) and despite my plans of pursuing a DEI-related career upon graduating.

When an academic’s terrible income is supplemented by a high-earning spouse, that’s what’s known as a Fellowship of the Ring

Our Welcome Back Cookout is coming up! Take a couple seconds to RSVP: https://t.co/uuP1q8kT80

See you at Wyman Park Dell on Saturday afternoon for some eats and great convos 🥘

It’s absolutely insane that my PI is offering to LOAN ME HER OWN MONEY bc the institution we work for is so inept at payroll services that they paid me $0. @HopkinsMedicine, do better.
