Deliriously excited to share our new Neuron Perspective on transformative neuropathology—a roadmap to accelerate brain health discoveries through broader support of brain banks with tech-enabled, team-science approaches to tissue.

#TransformativeNeuropathology

This Perspective outlines a bold vision for the future of human brain research. One that embraces innovation in digital pathology, spatial biology, machine learning, and biomarkers while grounding discoveries in the power of human tissue.

I learned so much from the collective expertise of over 40 co-authors, glad to have had the chance to wax poetic, sing karaoke, watch all you fit people play tennis, and wander the woods together!

"You have to focus on what you can do."

Life advice from 2023 medicine laureate Katalin Karikó who is encouraging us all to focus on things that are within our control and pay less attention to what we can't control.

#sfn2024 was amazing… filled with great science and great people! Even ran into my very first mentor…It was in her lab that I realized my love for neuroscience research years ago! @SfNtweets

[Whitney Simon @whitneylsimon]

@GenesisOmanaS @BamkoleMichael Yes! No question about it!

[Whitney Simon @whitneylsimon]

@Da_Mesquita_S Stay safe!!

I love learning scientists’ stories; they tell so much that science alone cannot. Yesterday, Dr. Virginia Lee — an exceptional and prolific scientist with an incredible story — shared her important work on proteinopathies. @MayoClinicNeuro @MayoGradSchool

[Wu Lab at UTHealth @LongJun_Wu]

What an inspiring talk by Dr Virginia Lee today! She discussed the important discovery on the propagation of misfolded proteins in neurodegenerative diseases. Really enjoyed the talk and discussions! @MayoClinicNeuro @MayoGradSchool

The IMPACT lab @MayoClinic is one of the first to investigate the use of cells as living drugs for diseases with few options. Read how this precursor to #RegenMed is transforming patient care.
