Sleep need–dependent plasticity of a thalamic circuit promotes homeostatic recovery sleep Prolonged wakefulness leads to persistent, deep recovery sleep (RS). However, the neuronal circuits that mediate this process remain elusive. From a circuit screen in mice, we identified a group of th...

New collaborative study out with Mark Wu’s group identifies a thalamic reuniens-zona incerta circuit as both responsive to induced sleep deprivation and essential for mediating recovery sleep. Further perspective on this work follows./1

Excited to share our new preprint on #SYNGAP1 that shows how its enzymatic and structural role can be dissociated! The GAP activity is essential in increasing intrinsic excitability but does not contribute to the seizure protection SynGAP is important for: biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Our second preprint, which was spearheaded by @thomasdwkim.bsky.social, uses single-cell multiomic analysis to identify gene regulatory networks controlling neurogenesis and cell fate specification in mouse hypothalamus and prethalamus./1

Resolving forebrain developmental organisation by analysis of differential growth patterns The forebrain is the most complex region of the vertebrate CNS, and its developmental organisation is controversial. We fate-mapped the embryonic chick forebrain using lipophilic dyes and Cre-recombin...

We begin the New Year with two preprints on hypothalamic development. The first, part of a long-term collaboration with Marysia Placzek’s group, investigates the organization of the developing forebrain, and show that current models are (mostly) incorrect./1
