When universities and research institutions become military targets, academics cannot remain silent. I co-initiated an open letter calling for global academic solidarity and support for affected students and scholars. to read and sign: sites.google.com/view/protec… Please share

Although most research on #dystonia has tied the condition to disrupted circuits in the brain, new work in mice shows that inherited, early-onset dystonia can develop solely from abnormal neural circuits in the spinal cord. @ScienceTM scim.ag/2yL

Hello, science Twitter! This is my first tweet. And what better way to start than to thank everyone who contributed to our newly published study on how spinal circuit dysfunction mediates the pathophysiology of Dyt1 dystonia science.org/doi/10.1126/scit… @BrownstoneLab @BeatoLab

Pathophysiology of Dyt1-Tor1a dystonia in mice is mediated by spinal neural circuit dysfunction

Spinal cord deletion of Tor1a in mice leads to severe early-onset generalized dystonia, suggesting that spinal cord dysfunction underlies Dyt1-Tor1a pathophysiology.

Over at @eLife, we’re eliminating accept/reject decisions and relinquishing the traditional journal role of gatekeeper. This new model is our move towards a fairer system that helps researchers get recognition for what, not where they publish. Read more: elifesciences.org/articles/8…
