Speaking of our Department, this work just dropped from twitterless Dr. Bhanu Tewari and our Chair Dr. Harry Sontheimer on the dance between PNNs and astrocytes. There's glia, there's epilepsy, AD, electrophysiology, and excitment galore. Enjoy!!! 🤩🥳👏🏾nature.com/articles/s41593-0…

Astrocytes require perineuronal nets to maintain synaptic homeostasis in mice

Nature Neuroscience - Perineuronal nets stabilize synapses inhibiting synaptic plasticity. Here, the authors show that perineuronal nets act as a diffusion barrier facilitating astrocytic clearance...

Congratulations to all of the PIs who got their R01 proposals submitted to the NIH today. It's tough times and your hard work to advance the health goals of the nation does not always pay off. But you keep fighting. I see you and I salute your efforts. Make it rain.

#VirginiaTech scientists are studying how dance affects those w/ #autism spectrum disorder. They say dancing enhances intra-synchrony within one’s own brain and inter-synchrony, or the synchrony between two brains. vtx.vt.edu/articles/2022/03/… @VTCals @VTNeuro #AutismAwarenessMonth
