Hey SFN members, my colleagues Cara Nielson and @sosamariaj need 2 sponsoring members each to join the society. Would any of my neuroscience tweeps be willing to sponsor these excellent colleagues? TIA!

Extremely honored to have been selected as a Damon Runyon Fellow! I could not have done it without my mentor and amazing lab members, thanks everyone! Salk Institute The Chalasani Lab


Pericyte loss during Alzheimer's disease has been strongly linked to blood-brain barrier leakage. Our new data suggests that capillary flow deficits due to pericyte loss probably happen much earlier. Just published in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…


If the #Neurovascular unit were a solar system, the Neurovasculome would be the galaxy. This Statement in Stroke AHA/ASA explores the #Neurovasculome, and recent efforts to chart the diversity of vascular structures and functions that support brain health. ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…







I am thrilled to share that the Bonney Lab will be opening its doors come January CU Anschutz Medical Campus in the department of Anesthesiology! We will study perivascular pathology in cerebral small vessel disease using in vivo and ultrastructural imaging approaches.
