BLUESKY MEGA-THREAD

Altmetric is thrilled and also LITERALLY RELIEVED to officially announce:

We are now tracking research attention as it happens on Bluesky!

We have been picking up posts on the site since late Oct.

Our team is on Bluesky all day answering questions.

Let's get into it!

Another piece that was a doozie. This is a rendering of Cajal's famous Purkinje neuron. It took me 20 hours to cut it. It measures 2ftx3ft. I can make it again on demand. #beautifulbrain

Yup.

New ways to target inhibitory neuron subtypes in 🐭,🐵,🧍‍♀️... including the elusive & mysterious "chandelier cells" that directly inhibit *axon spike initiation* in excitatory neurons 🙅‍♂️

Yet another success of NIH BRAIN Initiative collabs 🧠(Armamentarium) PREPRINT 👇

Excited to publish a broad set of enhancers to target interneuron types in the brain, along with a broad set of collaborators. Part of the BI armamentarium. Together this will help revolutionize the targeting of brain circuits.https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07.17.603924v2

The gamma rhythm as a guardian of brain health Fast oscillations (30-150Hz), generated by internal brain mechanisms may be essential for the maintenance of healthy brain function.

Looking for a cool paper to read on gamma rhythm? Why not check out this review, fresh from the @elife.bsky.social presses!

(still working on getting Koen to join BlueSky... I'll get him, some day)

Pulled together this starter pack for Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis Research.
🧠🦠🥼

Hope it is helpful for the people joining in here and nucleating a community.

May have missed people, please leave a reply and I can then add to the pack.

Cheers.

Sex-divergent effects of hindbrain GLP-1-producing neuron activation in rats Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) analogues represent a new class of weight loss medication, which has recently exponentially grown in popularity. GLP-1 is produced in the intestinal L cells in response...

Fresh from our lab:
“Activation of hindbrain GLP1 producing neurons is sufficient to reduce food intake in both sexes. In females, but not males, GLP1 producing neuron activation alone is also sufficient to reduce motivated behavior for sucrose”

Microbiome twitter, we are looking for negative control samples from as many sources and kits as possible. If you've included blanks in your 16S or ITS amplicon seq project and the data is publicly available, drop a link in the thread!

RTs appreciated!
