Pupil size is used in many many studies as a readout of behavioural arousal. In our new work in Nature Neuroscience we add to the literature on neural control of pupil size by demonstrating a strong impact of orexin neurons. (1/3) nature.com/articles/s4159…

I do not believe human-level AI (artificial superintelligence, or the commonest sense of #AGI) is close at hand. AI has made breakthroughs, but the claim of AGI by 2030 is as laughable as claims of AGI by 1980 are in retrospect. Look how similar the rhetoric was in LIFE in 1970!

Differentiating #bipolar from unipolar #depression can be challenging. In our new preprint, we identified a #microRNA which could help with differential diagnosis and regulates manic-like behaviour in mice. Great collaboration with the #FOR2107 consortium biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Meet our keynote speakers, two pioneers in the field of non-coding RNA research, at our upcoming brain non-coding RNA meeting. Register now at brain-ncRNA-conference.ch, deadline July 20!

Our paper "Cellular-resolution gene expression mapping reveals organization in the head ganglia of the gastropod, Berghia stephanieae" just came out in J. Comparative Neurology. Desmond Ramirez, Thi Bui, and Paul Katz. We found many unexpected things... doi.org/10.1002/cne.25…

Still undecided whether to register for the brain non-coding RNA meeting in Ascona at brain-ncrna-conference.ch ? maybe these pics taken in the Ascona area in the fall will help you decide ...

Our perspective on the 'Neurobehavioral meaning of pupil size' is out now in Neuron! Come chat about it at my poster at #FENS2024 PS06-28PM-299 on Friday cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Attending FENS 2024 in Vienna? I would love to tell you more about my PhD project in the Schratt lab at ETH Zürich investigating the role of miRNAs in engram neuron consolidation in the central amygdala! (Thursday afternoon session, poster #42) Hope to see you there :)

🚨Our new #behavior work is out in @Naturemethods! We introduce BehaviorFlow, a pipeline that takes DeepLabCut 🦄 tracking and the output of any clustering algorithm to compute the dynamic transitions between behavioral motifs for downstream data analysis 🥳nature.com/articles/s4159…

It was a blast! Had lot's of fun discussing the impact the Gapp lab's research might have now and for the future with Katarina Bertschi . Thanks for featuring my team's work in this great blog! ethambassadors.ethz.ch/2024/11/14/eth…

A grand finale for the first official Phd-student of the Gapp lab! Well done Miriam Kretschmer for a fabulous PhD defense- I am extremely proud of you!

Sam Altman Sam, who at OpenAI was involved in Suchir Balaji's death? His mother makes a compelling argument that you were involved:

New paper: Gilardi et al. By combining human & rodents data, we dissected the molecular roles of miR-708-5p in mood disorders (MDs). miR-708-5p levels in human PBMCs could be used as a potential biomarker for the differential diagnosis of MDs. Schratt lab embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Our study describing a role for the circular RNA circRERE in the regulation of silent excitatory synapses is finally out Nature Communications! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Delighted to see our paper finally out in Neuron! Together with Ian MacRae, we developed a new toolbox to study microRNAs and used it to find new mechanisms of Purkinje cell development. Please see the tweetorial from researcher extraordinaire Nori Zolboot for details.

In our new study published @PNAS we describe a microRNA-based mechanism that coordinates the scaling of inhibitory and excitatory synapses during homeostatic plasticity, with possible implications for sleep regulation. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
