50k(ish) is right! If you're as surprised by this as me and Neuropsychopharmacology - you should be! Our LC is about 125% smaller than expected for our neocortex given scaling in other primates. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Just out! The inaugural position paper from the Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIA of ISTAART. The group focuses on neuromodulatory subcortical systems in neurodegenerative diseases and this paper highlights recommendations for research and funding priorities. alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/al…

Newest paper from the lab! Serum albumin-induced TGFbeta activation can drive astrocyte senescence. Important considerations for connections between blood brain barrier dysfunction and neurodegenerative diseases. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Delighted to announce that I’ve received the UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellowship! As PPFP Info fellow, I will be investigating the glial mechanisms of psychedelic medicine in the male and female brains. Special thanks to Dr. Kaufer and members of Kaufer Lab for their support.

Excellent talk on selective vulnerability of the NSS in early #Alzheimer AD/PD - Advances in Science & Therapy by Alexander Ehrenberg #ADPD2023 #LocusCoeruleus ISTAART Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems PIA

If you are attending #SOBP2023 and interested in learning more about our new findings on psychedelics and glia, please stop by Kaufer Lab posters tomorrow & Saturday!

Kaufer Lab undergraduate student, Ria Khera, successfully presented her honor thesis research on ‘Long term impact of chronic stress in hippocampal memory cells’ at the UC Berkeley IB Honor Poster Session. Congrats Ria!

If you’re in ISTAART , make sure to join the NSS #AAIC2023 PIA day symposium at 4PM!

My team at the Innovative Genomics Institute Institute for Geographic Information Science at Berkeley is looking for a new research associate with histology experience!
