Looking forward to an inspiring #NeuroFrance2025 and excited to be part of the motor circuits symposium! Stop by to hear me geek out about why cortico-brainstem neurons deserve more of the spotlight!

Parvalbumin interneurons regulate rehabilitation-induced functional recovery after stroke and identify a rehabilitation drug - Nature Communications The biological mechanisms of rehabilitation after stroke are not fully understood. Here authors identify parvalbumin interneurons as a key mediator of rehabilitation-induced stroke recovery and a drug...

Excited to share our new paper!

Our new paper in
@NatureComms
reveals how parvalbumin (PV) interneurons regulate stroke recovery by enhancing network synchronization.

Fellow NYC scientists, seems our gathering is Washington square Park, 12-3pm! See you there!

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Identification of V0g propriospinal neurons and their role in locomotor control Propriospinal neurons relay sensory and motor information across the spinal cord and are critical components of the circuits coordinating body movements. Their diversity and roles in motor control are...

🥁 Elisa Toscano idenitified a new subtype of propriospinal neurons and found a role in the execution of skilled movements🤸‍♂️. Great job from Elisa and everybody involved 💪. @alesantuz.bsky.social, @lowensteined.bsky.social. Check it out and let us know what you think:

Acute Extrinsic Activation of the RANKL Pathway Decreases Wound Healing and Functional Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury in Mice Acute, intrathecal delivery of RANK ligand (RANKL) negatively impacts wound healing after spinal cord injury. Intrathecal RANKL disrupts tissue remodeling, locomotor recovery, and alters reactive...

Glia!? We work on glia now?

Awesome work by @anavivinetto.bsky.social modulating conserved mechanisms of wound healing in the spinal cord. But please, take the astrocytes with you to your own lab.
