I had an amazing time at the “Inhibition in the CNS” #GordonResearch Conference in Switzerland! I met great colleagues, attended fantastic talks, won a Poster Award, and DJed the end party! Thank you to the GRC & GRS organizers for inviting me & for all your generous support

How do single neurons integrate thousands of inputs, from multiple circuits, to learn about the environment? Out today in @ScienceMagazine , we bring subcellular resolution to this question. Punchline: intracellular Ca²⁺ release plays a big role! https://t.co/cHy01frI5K

Intracellular calcium release orchestrates subcellular, cellular, and circuit architecture to shape learning in the hippocampus.

Happy to share my graduate thesis work that is finally out! We show that before the onset of vision, mouse visual system self-organizes its development with patterned spontaneous activity that mimics ethologically relevant features of future visual inputs.

3/3 ... a Hispanic guy whom I thought was an Arab, so I enthusiastically started speaking Arabic to him and he freaked out. At that moment, I knew I was definitely in America 😆

2/ ... make sure I’m in the right place, so I walked up to the nearest person at the airport and asked “Excuse me, do you know where the toilet is?” and they said “Yes, it’s in the bathroom”. At that moment, I knew I was in New York 🤣. The next person I walked up to was...

1/ Fifteen years ago today, I moved from Iraq to the US. I was barely 18, first time on a plane, in an airport, away from my family, friends, and everything I knew without knowing that I’ll ever see anyone again. The first thing I wanted to do when I landed in New York is to...

The system of oppression and white supremacy that killed George Floyd is the same system that led the invasion and destruction of Iraq and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and displaced millions of families and children. #blacklivesmatter

2/3 This method has a wide range of applications. We demonstrate its use for widefield and 2-photon calcium imaging in neonatal mice and rats, along with delivery of multiple viral constructs in the same brain. Here’s the paper

A new viral injection method targets the transverse sinuses to achieve robust whole-brain delivery of single or multiple genes in multiple mammalian species early in development.

1/3 Very proud that my second first-author paper from my postdoc has been published in eLife! We developed a novel method to drive robust whole-brain expression of transgenes via transverse sinus injections. This method is compatible in multiple species and utilizes AAV9.

We also developed a powerful approach for whole-brain viral infection via neonatal AAV9. More on this from Ali here:

A major challenge in neuroscience is convenient whole-brain delivery of transgenes, especially early in postnatal development. Recent advances demonstrate whole-brain gene delivery by retro-orbital...
