PREPRINT ALERT! Sophie and Alex, amazing PhD students from the Wolff and Anastasiadis labs, teamed up to venture into Microbubble-enhanced focused ultrasound (MB-FUS) and took a new, multimodal approach to test its safety in-depth. 1/10 biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Neurobehavioral effects of focused ultrasound-mediated blood-brain barrier opening

Microbubble-enhanced focused ultrasound (MB-FUS) enables noninvasive blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening to improve the delivery of drugs and other therapeutics to the brain, supporting more effective...

🧠🍄 Psilocybin, the hallucinogenic compound in magic mushrooms, temporarily resets entire networks of neurons responsible for controlling a person’s sense of time and self, finds a new study. For @Nature w @realJoshSiegel @shansiddiqi @BrianMathur1 nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Endocannabinoids are powerful synaptic modulators, but there's so much we don't know about how they signal. Here we show that *postsynaptic synucleins* are required! Shoutout @YueSunNeuro, @yulonglilab, @SudhofThomas, @BJunDing and the rest of the team! nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

My main thesis project just got published!! I recorded 1,000+ claustrum neurons using whole cell patch clamp and found that the claustrum synaptically supports fMRI defined fronto-posterior cortical networks cell.com/cell-reports/fullte…

The mouse claustrum synaptically connects cortical network motifs

Cortical networks are composed of geographically distinct frontal and posterior cortices. Qadir et al. show that the claustrum relays frontal cortical input to contralateral frontal and posterior...
