Recent @yale.edu research led by ‪‪@adwolfe.bsky.social‬‬, Milind Singh & @dacolon.bsky.social reveals neurons' ability to store glycogen as a backup fuel ⛽️, keeping the brain running under stress — a process called “glycogen-dependent glycolytic plasticity” (GDGP).

Congratulations, Arka!

In a new @natcomms.nature.com study, @yaleneuro.bsky.social's Nicola Micali from the Rakic lab, alongside a team of researchers @prbb.org, found that many genes 🧬 linked to mental illness 🧠 are turned ON in neural stem cells as early as the first trimester.👶

Myotonic dystrophy type 1: clinical diversity, molecular insights and therapeutic perspectives Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 22 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s41582-025-01139-xMyotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most prevalent muscular dystrophy in adulthood and among the most clinically diverse monogenic diseases. This Review summarizes the latest insights into the molecular underpinnings of DM1, highlighting the implications for therapy development.

Two years ago, I started my year-long postgraduate programme at Yale University, Department of Neuroscience🧠

I am forever grateful for the opprtunity I was given and to my colleagues for shaping my academic future ✨️

First map of mammal brain activity may have shown intuition in action Scientists have mapped the activity that takes place across a mouse's entire brain as it decides how to complete a task - and the results could explain the origin of our gut feelings

The first complete activity map of a mammalian brain has revealed unprecedented insights into how decisions are made – and may even hint at the roots of intuition.

The spectrum goes multidimensional in search of autism subtypes Grouping people with autism based on shared features, genetics and co-occurring conditions may improve clinical trial outcomes, researchers say.

Weekend Read: Emerging neuroscience and behavioral research is finding that autism doesn't exist on a single spectrum, but instead is multidimensional.

Spreading depolarization as a therapeutic target in migraine Nature Reviews Neurology, Published online: 14 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s41582-025-01128-0Spreading depolarization is widely accepted as the cause of migraine aura, but its relationship with migraine headache is less clear. In this Review, Harriott and Ayata review the evidence that links spreading depolarization with the headache phase of migraine with aura, and consider the potential of therapeutic targeting of spreading depolarization in migraine.

Remembering Srebrenica 11 July

The Srebrenica genocide is one of the darkest pages of European history.

In July 1995, 30 years ago, thousands of men and boys were murdered solely because of their ethnicity and religion.

Let us remember and learn from it.

#NeverForget

In the lead-up to Friday’s Anniversary, this is a short video which reminds us what happened at Srebrenica 30 years ago. It was made for the 20th Anniversary in 2015 and is one of a number of video resources on our Vimeo channel.

Huge congratulations to Dibakar!

Congratulations to Yimeng, we are so excited to see more results!

Loved the meeting!!

Reminder that @europepmc.org is a mirror of Pubmed with better search and that it indexes *all* bioRxiv preprints (as well as ResearchSquare), not just the ones funded by NIH like chauvinist Pubmed

Text says if someone poisons or cuts down a tree for a better view from their house, this Australian council installs signs to block the view until the vegetation grows back. The sign says this vegetation has been illegally. Vandalised.

An absolutely brilliant idea!

My heart aches, I just can't comprehend this happened. Sincere condolences to the families.

zehnfache Übermacht kapitulieren. Was darauf folgte, waren Massaker der Serben an den überlebenden Verteidigern, Zivilisten und Patienten im Spital von Vukovar, der schlimmsten Art. Mehrere hundert Opfer wurden später in Massengräbern gefunden - mehr als 300 gelten is heute als vermisst.

On this Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Homeland War and the Victims of Vukovar and Skabrnja, we pay tribute to veterans 🇭🇷 and all those who gave their lives for freedom. 🇭🇷

Hvala.

Danas 18. Studenoga se obilježava Dan sjećanja na žrtve Domovinskog rata i Dan sjećanja na žrtvu Vukovara i Škabrnje.
Ovim putem želimo se dostojanstveno prisjetiti svih žrtvi Domovinskog rata i obilježiti ovaj dan kao dan trajnog sjećanja na sve žrtve Domovinskog rata.

In 1991. Croatia suffered agression identical to Ukraine nowadays.
17000 Croatians killed in war for independence.3000 killed only in small town of Vukovar.
Today we remember the horrors of Serbian aggresion.

Childhood photo, black and white. Me standing outside in our yard. My father's workshop on the left, in the background large trees, the yard is covered in snow. In the yard at the back is a trailer and some roof tiles. The ground is wet and covered partially in semi-melted snow. I am standing there wearing overalls, my hands clasped in front of me, smiling with glee in the freezing but sunny cold.

Me, at home in Vukovar. Standing in the back yard by the family workshop. January 1974. Today is a remembrance day of my city, destroyed in the great aggression of 1991. Not a single brick remained of my house after that, but I remain, and a never-ending yearning for a home that no longer exists.

Heute, 18. November 2024 ist in Kroatien 🇭🇷 der Gedenktag an den Fall der Stadt Vukovar und das Dorf Škabrnja.

During the 87-day siege of Vukovar, between August and November 1991, 2717 soldiers and civilians were killed, including 34 children aged between 7 months and 17 years, 1219 were wounded and more than 350 Croatian soldiers unaccounted for. More than 22000 Croats and other non-Serbs were expelled.🕯️
