@nirmal23.bsky.socialNeurosicientist Aryn Gittis and colleagues show Parkinson’s symptoms like tremor and slowed movement arise from different brain circuits, a finding that could lead to more targeted, personalized treatments. 🧪 #WomenInSTEM www.cmu.edu/mcs/news-eve...
Show PostVery pleased to share our latest (now published), from star student Kamal Narayana. He finds lowering (not increasing) peri-infarct blood flow beyond the hyper-acute phase, improved stroke recovery by lessening blood brain barrier disruption and neuro-inflammation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Show PostWorking with a great team to organize @keystoneSymposia.bsky.social Neural Plasticity and Recovery after Traumatic CNS Injury & Stroke, this January! Join us to explore emerging research in Breckenridge! keysym.us/KSNeuralPlast27 #KSNeuralPlast27
Show PostOur latest publication grapples with how the brain could implement gradient descent by sending learning targets top-down, gating plasticity with dendritic inhibition, and updating synaptic weights with biologically observed learning rules like BTSP. www.cell.com/cell-reports...
Show Post1/5 A little late, but excited to share an updated version of our preprint! We asked how loss of Synaptojanin1 disrupts dopamine signaling and contributes to early dysfunction at dopaminergic synapses in Parkinson’s disease.https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-9695405/v1
