Superstar @PennNGG student @sophie_liebs throws the kitchen sink at Layer 1 Ndnf cells to show unique preservation of Ndnf interneuron excitability among the major neocortical GABAergic interneuron subtypes in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome. jneurosci.org/content/early/…

@AmauryguichonTV I would love to know how he comes up with these ideas. The execution of course is incredible, but the creativity is absolutely amazing.

@AmauryguichonTV Possibly the best one yet. Absolutely brilliant.

@pvalbpapers1 I can check this off my bucket list: a tweet from @pvalbpapers1! Thanks!!
