You can learn about brain computer interfaces, what they do, and the patients who can benefit from BCI at a presentation next Friday, Sep 18. Speakers: Dr. Cecile Verbaarschot, Dr. Nader Pouratian, Dr. Babu Welch, and #BCI users. More details and register: bit.ly/4ytdrvQ
OBI Investigator, Dr. Chen Liu, & team identify a brain signaling pathway that appears to drive the substantial weight gain associated with #clozapine, a drug for treatment resistant #schizophrenia. The findings could lead to a way to reduce clozapine's metabolic side effects.
New paper today in @NatureComms with Roger Cone’s group @UMLifeSciences: we identify an MC4R–Kir7.1 pathway contributing to clozapine-induced weight gain, and show it can be targeted without diminishing clozapine’s activity in an antipsychotic assay. bit.ly/4qWH0nk 1/🧵
