Join us Tues 3/28 at 10am in 214 LH for Andrew Boal's @EyeBoal Dissertation Defense "Retinal Ganglion Cell Excitability and Adaptations to Ionic Stress in Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy" completed in Dr. David Calkins lab in the Neuro Grad Program @VanderbiltBrain and @VUMCEye!

You can officially call me Dr. Naguib now!!! Today I successfully defended my PhD in neuroscience after 4 years of hard work. I am so unbelievably thrilled to be done #PhDone #PhinallyDone

It was an honor to write this with (and learn so much from) my co-mentors @LisaMonteggia and Dr. Ege Kavalali! A key takeaway: the timing and location of BDNF action is critical in its downstream effects, which can be multiple and contradictory

Grateful to have received a booster shot @VUMChealth. Sad that I had the opportunity to get a third shot while folks in my country have not had access to their first. Hard to feel anything but intense anger towards those who have that opportunity but don't take advantage of it.

Every Wednesday our entire program gets together for seminar! Today G3 @EyeBoal gave a chalk talk to Edwards-Goodpasture about his research on glaucoma!
Andrew is wearing a mask and a blue shirt. He is standing by a whiteboard on which he has drawn some of the pathophysiology of glaucoma.

New review from @EyeBoal (G3) out now in @MDPIOpenAccess Cells! This review covers how #astrocyte networks (not just individual cells) are involved in diseases like #glaucoma, and how these networks might be targeted therapeutically (open access): mdpi.com/2073-4409/10/6/1368…

New from @QuantPsychiatry (G2) out in @journalautism! The authors used network analysis to identify aspects of ruminative thinking that were linked to depressive symptoms in autistic adults, and which could be studied further as possible risk factors: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…
Figure 2. Network of Ruminative Responses Scale (RRS) and Beck Depression Inventory–II Items and Expected Influence Metrics: (a) Network graph arranged using multidimensional scaling. Edge thickness reflects partial correlation strength (thickest edge, rp = 0.362), with blue lines representing positive correlations and red lines representing negative correlations. The proximity of two nodes is proportional to their degree of association with one another. Nodes derived from the RRS are presented in blue, whereas nodes derived from the BDI-II are presented in orange. Item content for each node is presented in Table 2. (b) Raw one-step expected influence values for each node, along with 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals. (c) Raw one-step bridge expected influence values for each node, along with 95% bootstrapped confidence intervals.
