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. 🧠 Perspective article: cell.com/neuron/fulltex… 🎧NotebookLM podcast: notebooklm.google.com/notebook/c0172… #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! @AdrianoAguzzi @NeuroBioMed @ArlineFaustin @MaggieFlanagan @grinberg_t @HillmanLab @ZhiHuangPhD @DavidJonesBrain @Alifkapasi1 @karchlab @tammarynlashley @TNRLab @PritchettLab @JASchneiderMD @TSpiresJones @ionicwoman @IcahnMountSinai @_JakeVogel_ @EdinburghUni @AllenInstitute @cziscience @OxNeuro @rushalzheimers @UCSFmac @neuraustralia @nygenome @IcahnMountSinai @cshlmeetings #TransformativeNeuropathology #BrainHealth #Neuropathology #Neurodegeneration #MachineLearning #DigitalPathology #Neuron #TeamScience #Pathomics

Excited to share our findings on how APOE genotype impacts cell responses to AD using human brain snRNAseq. Huge thanks to the team for all the hard work! #apoe @DrNeuroChic @MayoClinicNeuro @NeuroCellPress

"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.

@ShunyiZhao_ @LongJun_Wu Nice work!!!

Using in vivo two-photon imaging and chemogenetics, we investigated the role of microglial Gi-GPCR signaling in neuronal circuits. Big shoutout to my mentor @LongJun_Wu and co-authors for all the help! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

So honored and proud to be a part of @MayoClinic!

@LWang357 🤣

@LWang357 😂🤣😂

#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

@GenesisOmanaS @BamkoleMichael Yes! No question about it!

@whitneylsimon @BamkoleMichael I know!! Looking forward to seeing you next time 🥺

Had an amazing time at #sfn2024 in Chicago. My favorite part was catching up with mentors and friends!! Now back in Florida hoping that everyone is staying safe during hurricane Milton. 🧠

@Da_Mesquita_S Stay safe!!

@LiddelowSA @SfNtweets @holly_gildea @WrightCP22 @NYULH_Neuro @nyugrossman Literally ran in to catch this session and out to catch a flight. So worth it! Wish I could’ve chatted with you all! Next year!!

@SfNtweets #SfN24 PD @holly_gildea and GS @WrightCP22 from @NYULH_Neuro @nyugrossman chairing one of the last sessions of the meeting: Glial Lipids and Metabolism. Run to S105 to catch these great talks!

@marinaseady @LiddelowSA @DrAaronJJohnson 🧠💪 You did so great!!

Dear diary- Today I went to the glia social at #Sfn2024 and met the one and only @LiddelowSA . I ended up at a pitch competition talking about microglia presenting antigens to CD8 T cells and had one of the most memorable nights ever! Thanks boss for the support @DrAaronJJohnson

Trying to catch up with my youngest little love… 😉🥰

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

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. mayocl.in/3skGOkX
