.Carolyn B. Maloney, Chuck Schumer, and Kirsten Gillibrand: Help us recognize #SfN18 Nemko Prize in Cellular or Molecular Neuroscience winner Dr. William Muñoz NYU Grossman School of Medicine for his development and application of a method to record from interneurons deep in the cerebral #cortex.

So if I understand correctly, increasing activity of somatostatin interneurons has now been suggested to be potentially therapeutic in mouse models of Alzheimer's biorxiv.org/content/early/… and Parkinson's biorxiv.org/content/early/… and chronic pain nature.com/articles/nn.45… ...wut

How many interneuron subtypes are in L1? Nice work from Ben Schuman rudylab and Gord Fishell shows 4 distinct cell-types. jneurosci.org/content/early/…

We are pleased to welcome Amy Wang,Ian D Connolly, MD MS, Faith Robertson MD PhD MBA , and William Munoz Miranda to the @mghneurosurg residency. Congratulations to all applicants, it was a pleasure to meet many of you and we look forward to your many contributions to the field of neurosurgery.
