My PhD work is now on biorxiv! Showing that somatostatin interneuron subtypes form highly specific circuits across layers and cell types.

Congratulations Leena! Nice necklace too 😃

We are thrilled to announce the election of 120 members and 23 international members to the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of their distinguished and continued achievements in original research. bit.ly/3HyRx2u Congratulations to our new #NASmembers! #NAS160

Congratulations to my boss 😄 Gord Fishell

Newly elected #NASmember Gordon Fishell is a neuroscientist and professor of neurobiology at Harvard Medical School who is recognized for his work on the development and function of cortical inhibition. #neuroscience #neurobiology

Thank you Elaine Sevier for being the best co-author, and to all the nice Northeastern coop students I work with. And thanks for Gord Fishell who bought me a cake 🎂😉

The Fishell lab fishelllab.hms.harvard.edu Gord Fishell at the Broad Institute Broad Institute is hiring a computational associate. You will work with scRNAseq, scATACseq, spatial transcriptomics and more to learn about interneuron and developmental neurobiology! Please DM me/RT!

Neurogliaform cells are probably the least studied type of interneurons. My dear lab mate Shuhan Huang has spearheaded the study performing in vivo two-photon imaging of these interneurons, capturing them in action during visual stimuli and locomotion.

Our findings demonstrate how pyramidal neurons guide the development of different interneuron subtypes. Biology never fails to amaze me - a profoundly intricate and adaptive journey culminating in exquisite precision. Gord Fishell Min Dai

The inhibitory cells’ development, diversity and abundance in the cortex is directed in part by pyramidal cells, a new preprint suggests. By Olivia Gieger thetransmitter.org/interneurons/a…

Thank you Olivia Gieger for a nice report on our story

Updated how pyramidal neurons impact specific interneuron subtypes. Turns out spontaneous activity, Wnt signaling in Parvalbumin Interneurons and integrin-signaling in Somatostatin neurons are the culprits! Also see how optimal transport tracks identity.biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
