🤩 Registration for the #FENS webinar on “How does myelin contribute to brain plasticity?” is open! Moderated by Domna Karagogeos, join Thóra Káradóttir, R. Douglas Fields, Ethan G. Hughes on 7 December. 👉 Register Now: rb.gy/77s176

We extend our studies in understanding the role of PAX6 in neurodevelopment using human cerebral organoids! Similar to mice, PAX6 loss results in ectopic inhibitory neurons but data indicates possible species-specific differences. Short report⬇️ biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Super cool preLight, going to read the original manuscript asap! Do we expect a similar mechanism in the mammalian brain? Bets on potential glial players?

A great initiative paired with hard work and a killer pun...science at its best! Super interesting talk by @apeyrache at @encods2023

Many thanks to @FENSorg and @encods2023 for giving me the opportunity to hear about the amazing work of so many PhD students from all over the 🌎 and to present a poster with my first 📊 on cortical myelination in the Fmr1 🐁 model of ASDs
