A big shout out to Shuhan Huang for her amazing work with me and Leena Ali Ibrahim , in identifying and studying the role of neurogliaform interneurons in V1 cortex. Come read about how these regulators of cortical function act in different cortical layers! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Huge thanks to Dorothee Gescher for letting us contribute to the study on "Differential methylation of OPRK1 in borderline personality disorder is associated with childhood trauma" now published in Molecular Psychiatry. 🙏 rdcu.be/dKwTs

The call is out for the new #DFG #PriorityProgramme on the epigenetic regulation of neurodevelopment. Initiated by Tanja Vogel with support from Geraldine Zimmer-Bensch, André Fischer, Prof Ana Pombo and myself. Looking forward to exciting insights from #EPIADAPT! More details 👇👇👇

Check out our new manuscript at BioRxiv showing that DNMT1 regulates SST+ interneuron dispersion within the cortical marginal zone, which influences cortical neurogenesis, layering & function. Great collaboration with Simon Musall and Tanja Vogel! 🧠🐭biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Our new preprint is on bioRxiv! DNMT1 deficiency in PV interneurons disrupts cortical function and triggers depression-like behavior. Check out how #epigenetic regulation impacts brain networks and mental health 🧬 #Neuroscience biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Incredibly important for scientists and students of science to think about. How do colleagues, mentors, friends deal with the betrayal that scientific fraud brings? The record can be corrected after painstaking verification/retraction.The impact remains. thetransmitter.org/science-and-so…

Beyond the amazing science, we had a fantastic group hike through breathtaking scenery at the ncRNA Conference on Brain Development, Function, and Evolution in Ascona!

🚀 Great week: two projects funded! Huge thanks to the DFG and EU, all reviewers, and especially the PhD students whose datasets laid the foundation for these proposals. Good things happen! 🙌

Trump blocks NIH review. I’m on a study section to review cancer grants but received this email today: NIH has paused all communication, as directed by the new administration (e.g. cnn.com/2025/01/21/hea… ), and that apparently includes a pause for all study section meetings

The truth is that the scientific process is horribly inefficient and wasteful. But the solution is NOT cutting funds and it’s NOT top down guidance of what should be studied. Instead, we should revolutionize how we publish and improve peer review.
