Thank you Kajana Satkunendrarajah! It was a great study, but the tip of the iceberg. We still are still learning how best to harness the potential these cells have. The work complements your work really well too. x.com/kajanasatkune/…

Never know what you’ll see on campus during #FinalsWeek 😅

Dani et al. report that in vivo microglial activation strongly correlates with tau aggregation and amyloid deposition in both mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. Future therapies should target all three processes. bit.ly/2LfhfxZ

Scientists just made a pretty big discovery: a large body of liquid water on Mars. It's locked beneath a mile of ice near the planet's south pole wired.trib.al/HFWiE44

A wonderful paper by Danny Saban and colleagues! Congratulations!

The #Glia are gorgeous! #Pericytes pretty. #Microglia have strong features. Choroid, meningeal and endothelial cells create beautiful patterns too!!!! At NINDS we love them all.

Whether you missed it or attended, I encourage everyone to take a look ta the videos from SCI 2020! (videocast.nih.gov/summary.asp?Li…). Not only was it a really great couple of days worth seeing (or rewatching), but the NIH is also seeking feedback: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…

Attending #ISNR2020. Excited to share, learn and connect. The ISNR

This might be the first-ever recording of an octopus changing colors while it's dreaming. Professor David Scheel recorded the mollusk as it lay in a research tank, and if you listen with the sound on you can hear him describe what the octopus could be dreaming about.

Next week Dr. Sandra Garraway (Emory U School of Medicine) & Dr. James Trevathan (James Trevathan U Wisconsin Madison UW Grainger Institute) will give an #IOSCIRS. Dr. Nikos Kyristsis (Nikos Kyritsis, PhD UCSF-Brain and Spinal Injury Center) will moderate! Join us next Tuesday & stay tuned for more deets!

PS - We've never had a chinchilla on the IOSCIRS stage for the pet tax! Just sayin...

Excited for SFN @SfN2022
