newer techniques for visualizing neuronal morphology come out constantly but I gotta tell you, there’s nothing like Golgi staining 🧠 I took these images of an adult mouse cortex with my iPhone #neuroscience #academictwitter

The manuscript, in which we identified that mutations in ASD/ID risk gene DYRK1A cause microcephaly and decreased neuronal growth through decreased growth factor signaling, can be found here. @LittleLevyy pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33840455/

Thank you to @BiologicalPsyc1 for making my #sofla office view even better! And a big shoutout to my graduate student @LittleLevyy for her hard work in acquiring these images🧠 @ScrippsGradPrgm @UFScripps

December already?! Here, our November birthdays still practicing the safe way to make a birthday wish 😉👏👏👏Happy birthday to @LittleLevyy @AECAllen18 and Ting An(not pictured but did a great journal club presentation today! Welcome to our lab, too!)

Birthdays look a little different now, but we can always rely on classic physics to 💨 out the candles! Thanks to my lab for a nice birthday surprise 🎂

Congratulations to Scripps Research’s Ardem Patapoutian, who has been awarded the 2021 #NobelPrize for Physiology or Medicine. Patapoutian wins the award jointly with David Julius, for the discovery of receptors that sense temperature and touch scripps.edu/news-and-event… @ardemp

incredible spine imaging. Much progress. Such wow.

We are so honored to have our image on the cover. We love this classic technique for neuronal visualization & we can’t help but think of it as art 🎨 Props to the paper’s first author @LittleLevyy for her hard work optimizing Golgi staining & taking this image @BiologicalPsyc1

Our paper on how #DYRK1A mutations cause microcephaly and #autism relevant phenotypes in mice is out now in the September issue of @BiologicalPsyc1 🧠 biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-…

sure the ‘photo dump’ is reminiscent of early Instagram culture & aligns with the movement to make IG casual again but it’s so often a performance of informality that is ironically more carefully curated than ever my primary care physician: i meant what’s bothering u physically

“One of the most exciting strengths of this work is that the authors are able to rescue the neural phenotypes pharmacologically, and one of the tested approaches is already FDA-approved,” says Summer Thyme bit.ly/autism_DYRK1A

I’ve been saying this for years people!!!!!

The latest discoveries by @damonpagelab suggest that key genes in growth signaling pathways play a role in the intellectual disability or developmental delay found in types of #autism spectrumnews.org/news/jump-star… @PeterNHess for @Spectrum
