This #OpenScience data portal contains connectivity and functional imaging data including #ElectronMicroscopy based reconstructions of cortical circuitry from the mouse visual cortex.
The rise in remote work caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has substantially increased time spent alone and worsened workers’ mental health, according to a new study in Science based on survey data from more than 500,000 Americans.

Very happy to share that the culmination of my PhD work is out in @Nature! With MouseMapper, we can segment organs&tissues across whole mouse bodies and map changes in targets(nerves, immune markers) to the obtained atlas! Hope this will be a useful tool for preclinical research!
Today in @Nature, we report MouseMapper: foundation-model AI to map disease perturbations across the entire mouse body cell-by-cell.
In obesity, it revealed body-wide inflammation & unexpected facial nerve damage. 🧵👇🔉

Great news! CRC1506 “Aging at Interfaces” has been renewed. This is exciting for Ulm University and our group. We are happy to continue studying how zebrafish regenerate through enhanced anti-aging mechanisms. Thanks to Hartmut Geiger and his team for their outstanding work!
What does glucagon do in the human brain after a meal?
Using OGTT fMRI glucagon infusion, we found altered responsivity in hypothalamus and reward-related brain regions.
Interesting biology behind glucagon co-agonism.

Hi everyone. We are available to accept applications from students willing to submit a CSC proposal for a lipidomic/metabolomic study. Background in neurodegeneration/neurology/neurobiochemistry necessary. Please contact through institutional email.
Implications for protecting against cognitive impairment following #HeadInjury👇
doi.org/10.1172/JCI199818
Here, Tao Li @taoli Michael T. Heneka @michael_heneka Sergio Castro-Gomez @CastroGomezSerg & team find the inflammasome adaptor ASC drives long-lasting brain inflammation and cognitive problems after mild head injury in a closed-head injury model.
The figure shows skeletonized activated microglia (Iba1 cells) following closed head injury, with mice lacking ASC show showing preservation of morphological features, particularly at later time points.
what about inhibition in ALS motoneurons? is it really decreased, and why? what happens if one decreases it even further? do MN really die faster, or not? find it out in our latest JNeurosci paper: jneurosci.org/content/46/15/…
How and when are synapses lost in TBI patients? We used two new markers of synapses in CSF and wefound two waves of synaptic loss in TBI, one of which inflammation-dependent: jnnp.bmj.com/content/95/12/1…
