Ketamine increases neuroplasticity in female mice but not males. With @istaresearch.bsky.social, we found the key gene behind the difference. If it holds in humans, it could reshape how we approach assessing treatments. 🔗 Story: https://bit.ly/4yM4hvL 🔬 Journal article: https://bit.ly/4pYisK8
Planetariums inspire a sense of wonder about the universe. Can it also do the same for neuroscience? Artist Tyler Sloan shares his vision for an open license version that brings the brain to life with @emilysingerneuro.bsky.social for @thetransmitter.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4hBBfIN
How does your brain know the second something around you changes? 👀🧠 Scientists eavesdropped on 75,000+ neurons in the mouse brain to find out and they’ve publicly shared the data for anyone to explore: https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(26)00745-2
We created an atlas of the aging immune system and found something surprising. The primary driver of aging in healthy immune systems is not systemic inflammation, but a reprograming of T cells. Dive deeper at The Scientist: https://bit.ly/4xjvLHB
Scientists at @cri-utsw.bsky.social and @omrf.bsky.social have discovered that DNA can travel from one human cell to another through bridge-like nanotubes. Once in its new home, it can integrate into the new cell's genome and change how it functions. Dive deeper: https://bit.ly/4wUwlep
Over 1 in 3 people worldwide live with a neurological condition. Our Brain Health accelerator is taking a different approach to studying brain diseases, starting with ALS, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, and Lewy Body Dementia: https://youtu.be/wnTG5Sg8AKY #WorldBrainDay
