Huge congratulations for another successful semester of research and poster presentations by our lab's undergraduates. Desi Ukmar and Veronica Sanchez (Sr), Rodrigo Garcia (Jr), Briella Lucadamo (Soph), and their mentors @ZoeHaleyJ @PottorfTana Elizabeth Lane. @emorycollege
We are thrilled to (re)introduce our recent graduate, Dr. Olivia Mistretta! 🥳 Although she will be missed, she is destined for a great career as a scientific writer and aspiring MSL. Congratulations Dr. Mistretta!! @neurophd_emory @EmoryMedicine @EmoryUniversity
Congratulations to current @neurophd_emory student @willieneuro and former postdocs Ryan and Paula on their recent publication showing that GABA/glycine neurotransmission on regenerating motoneurons facilitates axon growth and muscle reinnervation post PNI

New paper drop from our graduate student Andrew Worthy on spinal cord V1 interneurons shaping motor output.
@laneygradschool @neurophd_emory @EmoryMedicine
Brand new (10 years running…) work from the @emoryalvarezlab out today - it’s a neuroanatomy feast. Joining the lab and seeing this take its final form I knew I was in the right place. The whole team is legendary!! (and V1s are the coolest)

Latest paper from the @emoryalvarezlab , which I'm grateful to have been able to contribute to, and got me started on my current love affair with motoneurons

We may be at the PNS meeting but there are lots of implications from PNI in the CNS! Interested? Come check out my work for a flash talk today at 10:45am or a poster Monday at 2:15 (poster # P350) #PNS2024
Big congratulations to our senior graduate student @PottorfTana recently being awarded the 2024 @NIH #OSNAP. We look forward to sending her to Bethesda in November to share our neuroimmune work and meet with NIH program officials🥳 @EmoryMedicine @neurophd_emory @laneygradschool
Inhibitory interneurons, such as Foxp2-V1, are crucial for motor development and are affected at early stages of pathology in motor neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. Here, graduate student @aeworthy presents a comprehensive examination of V1 subtypes.

@aeworthy is a 1st-year neuroscience PhD pre-candidate who recently joined our lab to perform his dissertation through @neurophd_emory @laneygradschool @EmoryMedicine @EmoryUniversity
Before grad school, Andrew received his BS from @emorycollege and was a research specialist.

Native state cell type specific proteomics reveals mechanisms of early dysfunction in PV INs in AD pathology ! @rangarajulab
@MJMRowan Congrats to co-firsts Prateek and Annie and all co-authors on this publication in @NatureComms. Go team

One of our senior undergrads, Celia Bianco, defended and received Highest Honors for her thesis on the age-dependent involvement of C1Q after peripheral nerve injury in mice. We wish Celia the best with her future endeavors @emorycollege @Emory_NBB #opentowork
The Alvarez lab is very proud of our graduate student @willieneuro for his presentation on tools for high res EMG's at the Sensorimotor Circuits for Limb Control meeting @OISTedu this past March, and additional presentation @EmoryUniversity @emoryDSAC GDBBS Research Symposium.
We are very proud to share one of our senior graduate students' work in developing a novel way to study locomotor development in mice. It is Olivia's hope that "this technique will bring new insights to neurodevelopmental disorders, movement disorders, and so much more."

We are excited to share the following publication which was a joint effort with the Cope lab @GeorgiaTech Herein, we elucidate the differing effects on spinal cord plasticity and inflammation between crush and cut peripheral nerve injuries.

Figures 4-5: We see increased peripheral immune cell infiltration into the spinal cord in the cut compared to the crush. This corresponds to differing microglia CCL2 (a pro-inflammatory chemokine) expression.
