Are you using AAV to deliver genes to the nervous system? Good news / bad news. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…
First the bad news: we found AAV can shrink dendrites and disrupt synaptic transmission. The good news? We figured out why it happens, and can tell you how to avoid it. (1/n)

Hello, I'd like to invite you to do my laundry for me. If you accept, I ask that you do my laundry in the next 7 business days. If you decline, please give a reason, and recommend 2-3 colleagues who can do my laundry instead.
No, of course there's no payment, what a crazy idea

I’ve always wanted to see a debate between wernicke's area and broca’s area
Welp, about that request to edit an issue for Frontiers: NO

ALT AI image mouse with giant testicle sack and nonsense labels. Terrifying.
Didn’t realize how yellow it is out until I got in the car and the screen looks super blue. It’s white. My color opponent cone system is yellow-fatigued.
Clever exploitation of an age cutoff for the shingles vaccine Zostavax. Intriguing that AD protection is only apparent in women. Shingles incidence is higher in women, but chicken pox is not. Is the (highly sex-divergent) immune response, not the virus, the relevant risk factor?
Biggest thing to ever come out of my little group. Pls help spread this finding!
We found clean, CAUSAL evidence that the shingles vaccine prevents a good chunk of dementia cases. So, could a virus cause Alzheimer’s->YES!

The University turns off the air circulation to our offices at 6pm every day. The CO2 levels promptly climb, even with just one person in the office.
What should I do, and why is the answer "Not work past 6?"

1/6 Very proud of this latest publication from my lab, the work of @ForeverYHChang , an incredible postdoc, who is on the job market.
We propose a new hypothesis to explain intercellular propagation in ALS and FTD. @NatureComms and previously on BioRxiv

Like many neuro folks, mourning the loss of @shenoystanford. It’s impossible to communicate what a loss it is. Knowing Krishna was a lesson in what it means to have a positive impact on the world. (1/N)
He lifted everyone with his largeness of spirit. “Relationships matter, communications matter, teamwork matters. It’s too easy to get caught up in thinking that individual brilliance is really what’s going to change the world.” Krishna was a mensch in the truest sense. (3/N)
