Out now! “Schwann cell-secreted PGE2 promotes sensory neuron excitability during development.” Published online today @CellCellPress. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jbBiL7PXqRXI

This is going to be such an exciting year, we are bringing some amazing faculty from all over the world. 6 weeks of hands on neuroscience. Improve your technical expertise, expand your scientific network, hear cutting edge science, and make friends for life!

Neurobiology: Mechanisms & Advanced Approaches 🧠🤯 @MBLNeuro June 8 – July 21, 2025 Deadline: January 27, 2025 go.mbl.edu/neuro

We have a fully-funded Postdoctoral Fellow position open in somatosensation development!!! I'm committed to supporting and mentoring all trainees in my lab. Please help me retweet this opportunity. :) jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/663050/pos…

nature.com/articles/s4146… I am excited to announce our work on how myelin loss culminates in neurodegeneration has been published at Nature Communications. While I have previously covered our findings as a preprint in more detail below, our key findings are:

Excited to announce that our 2025 Advanced Research Training Course schedule is up and applications are open! 🎉🎉🎉 See you in Woods Hole! mbl.edu/courses

Today we introduce human neural loop #assembloids created from 4 parts derived from stem cells to study the cortico-striato-midbrain-thalamo-cortical pathway and to model neurodevelopmental disease Work led by the remarkable Ji-Il Kim and Yuki Miura in the lab. Also in collaboration with the @marius10p lab at @HHMIJanelia Video shows a four-part neural assembloid displaying emergent synchronized activity after a couple of hundred days of integration

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! Together with @ZucheroLab, I am excited to build molecular circuits within oligodendrocytes to activate myelin repair, and to understand and reverse their contribution to disease.

In honor of National Postdoc Appreciation Week #NPAW2024, Stanford Neurosurgery celebrates the important contribution postdocs make to our department! @ZucheroLab @ScienceDame @XinnanwangL

Super-excited to reveal our latest fluorescent voltage indicator, ASAP5, now online @NeuroCellPress! ASAP5 features higher responsivity and kinetics, allowing detection of single synaptic transmission events. The link gives free access until 2024.11.09: authors.elsevier.com/a/1joYd3BtfH9B…

Some cool new microglia replacement systems in which we show brain macrophages are sufficient to drive interferonopathy in a model of Aicardi Goutieres syndrome. Work by @Kel_Nem with @FChrisBennett ... and our lab's (MBL) first paper!

New research into synapse loss, neurodegeneration, and brain aging is being funded by the Knight Initiative’s Catalyst & Pilot Grants. $1.24M supports 14 interdisciplinary projects to stimulate bold new approaches to exploring brain resilience. brainresilience.stanford.edu/news/advancing…

Happy Birthday Ben! Today would’ve been his 70th birthday. A renowned scientist who changed the way we see glia cells and the brain and a wonderful friend and advocate, Ben was an inspiration to us all.  #neuroscience #glia #advocateforwomeninStem #TransRightsAreHumanRights

📢📢My lab has a postdoctoral fellow position open immediately to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of mammalian somatosensation development and injury!! Please apply and join us if you're interested!!

NINDS is pleased to announce 5 early-career researchers have been recognized for their dedication to superior mentorship and training in neuroscience research through the 2024 Landis Award for Outstanding Mentorship. Learn more about the NINDS Landis Award go.nih.gov/oxUb216

@PittTweet @UCSanDiego @UNC Stefanie Robel, Ph.D. (@UABNews) empowers mentees to learn to reach their brilliance. She has developed a framework focused on people, projects, and productivity. Her holistic mentorship instills a "pay it forward" attitude in her mentees. go.nih.gov/8gONRlU

Preprint is finally out! Mapping whole brain oligo-myelin patterns across individual mice, sex, strain, aging, and injury (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…) Check out some cool videos as well! vimeo.com/1003497448?ts=… And play around with the beautiful raw data! tinyurl.com/5n87z2xs

@MichaelLinLab @manorlaboratory Congrats to Guosong and team, so glad to see it in print! (Hope there were bags of Cool Ranch to celebrate!) The “Potion of Invisibility” is truly incredible and we’ve already had some fun with it @MblNeuro this summer, thanks to Guosong’s generosity.

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

@ewadorotaz @StanfordNsurg @mablelam_phd @HusniyeKantarci @CellPressNews Autocorrect! 😅

@ZucheroLab @StanfordNsurg @mablelam_phd @HusniyeKantarci @CellPressNews No worries about V. I know W makes different sound. 😉

Drs. Brad Zuchero (@ZucheroLab) & @HusniyeKantarci and their collaborators discovered that neurons require signaling from glia to become fully excitable. Their findings were featured on the front cover of @cellpressnews. Learn more: med.stanford.edu/neurosurgery/n…
