Today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by Nowakowski_Lab, @ChangLabUCSF & Mircea Teodorescu (UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute) demonstrate the first use of optogenetics to modulate seizure activity at the network level in human brain tissue: nature.com/articles/s4159… John UCSF Broad Stem Cell




🧵Just in time for #FluorescenceFriday: New research from the Venkataramani lab Cell maps how brain tumor cells create extensive neural networks in glioblastoma. Check out our paper here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00… Ekin Reyhan Svenja Tetzlaff 1/15


The fireworks in your mind. 🧠✨ This sparkling video shows the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by Abhi Aggarwal, Kaspar Podgorski, and team. #HappyNewYear #NYE







Advances in neuroscience have yielded massive, rich datasets from various analysis techniques and modalities. In a Nature Neuroscience perspective, researchers underscore the importance of an integrative approach to render a more complete picture of the brain. nature.com/articles/s4159…


Just out in Science (2025)—a landmark study by Christina Jackson, MD et al. identifies a previously uncharacterized immune cell population in human glioblastoma (GBM), termed early myeloid-derived suppressor cells (E-MDSCs) (Michael Lim, MD , Chetan Bettegowda , Hongkai Ji , Drew Pardoll ). These





New electron microscopy study in Nature Neuroscience finds that layer 5 ET neurons mostly connect to inhibitory cells locally, esp. those suppressing other excitatory cells, suggesting a "winner-take-all" system. nature.com/articles/s4159…
