We are so happy to have had to opportunity to contribute to this beautiful work by @NeuroSharps in @NCMlab
Check out the Early View of our newest paper from the @NCMlab in collaboration with @MeehanLab on intrinsic properties of gamma motoneurons recently published in @JPhysiol! Thanks to @royalsociety for funding and everyone that contributed to this work! physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.c…

Absolutely loving this paper from #AbigailMackey1 lab showing that long life activity can influence how well muscles protect motoneurones later in life. A must read for all the motoneurone crowd. We must not forget the muscle if we want to save the motoneurone.

This has huge implications for motor neurone diseases.

Out in this month's issue of Aging Cell. Motor neurons do better in the presence of primary human muscle cells from older exercisers vs non-exercisers 🙏@lundbeckfonden for the Ascending Investigator grant 4 years ago to see this work through doi.org/10.1111/acel.14413

1. I feel like this is such obvious advice that it's taken for granted & so no one says this to young scientists but READ PAPERS, read all the papers. As you move up in your career you'll have a lot less time to do this. Read everything that appeals to you not just in your field

Thanks to NAD @naddenmark and @lundbeckfonden for an inspiring 2 day conference. Fantastic to meet up with so many great researchers across the country, make new connections and share research. NAD is doing such a great job at bringing the Danish neuroscience community together.
