In the latest episode of the IASP-PRF Podcast, Rima El-Sayed speaks with Alice Wagenaar about engaging patient partners as storytellers of the pain experience. bit.ly/43aJ3ty How do you incorporate stories of the lived pain experience into your practice or research? #PRF

Drosophila Genetic Database The Drosophila Genetic Database, FlyBase, is on the brink of collapse due to the sudden termination of the FlyBase NIH grant, which includes salaries for 5 literature curators based at the University ...

My lab studies bacterial infections. We spend a lot of time looking at (or for) species-specific genetic and genomic databases for hosts and microbes. FlyBase is the best of all—there is literally no comparison. Its existence is under threat. Please donate.

Confocal microscope photo showing the diversity of cell types in the brain

The brain is so much more than just neurons and their connections. It is a complex balance between neurons, astrocytes, microglia, oligos and more... there are so many different cell types in the brain. All of them together make us who we are, our thoughts, beliefs, hopes and dreams...🧠🔬 #Microscopy

Predicting gene expression from DNA sequence using deep learning models - Nature Reviews Genetics Barbadilla-Martínez et al. review recent progress in deep-learning-based sequence-to-expression models, which predict gene expression levels solely from DNA sequence. These models are providing new in...

Nageotte nodules in human dorsal root ganglia reveal neurodegeneration in diabetic peripheral neuropathy - Nature Communications Nageotte nodules in the dorsal root ganglia were first described 100 years ago, but little is known about them. Here, the authors link Nageotte nodules to neurodegeneration in diabetic neuropathy in h...

Impressive #DiabeticPeripheralNeuropathy research from The Price Lab! Their study on human dorsal root ganglia reveals Nageotte nodules interact with damaged axons, opening potential new therapeutic avenues decades after their discovery #neurodegeneration #Painresearch www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was such a blast to host this episode of the @iasp.bsky.social PRF podcast with these two wonderful scientists! Take a listen to hear their amazing strides in virtual reality for pain management!

A neural basis for prosocial behavior toward unresponsive individuals Humans often take actions to assist others experiencing unresponsiveness, such as transient loss of consciousness. How other animals react to unresponsive conspecifics—and the neural mechanisms drivin...

Mice show, “First Aid” behaviors toward unresponsive peers, including licking, tongue pulling, and grooming, which speeds recovery. The medial amygdala and oxytocin neurons encode these states and mediate distinct #NeuralMechanismsOfRescue #TongueGroomingBehavior www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Integrated analysis of molecular atlases unveils modules driving developmental cell subtype specification in the human cortex - Nature Neuroscience Nano et al. introduce a pipeline to generate meta-atlases of the human brain from existing single-cell datasets and extract gene modules linked to cell fate specification. Perturbing these programs in...

Parallel meta-analyses of the human cortex in development (seven datasets) and adulthood (16 datasets) generated over 500 gene co-expression networks that can describe mechanisms of cortical development, centering on peak stages of neurogenesis 🧠🧪

YouTube video by Allen Institute What are the cells that make up our brains?

To understand the brain, we must first understand its parts — the cells. 🧠📈

Together with our partners across the country, we're cataloging cell types in the brain with the most detailed map of the motor cortex ever.
