Incredibly excited to share our (@leonard_qi) preprint from the Ginty Lab studying the Krause corpuscle, a population of sensory endings in the genitalia that detect light touch and vibration to enable proper sexual behavior. They’re pretty cool looking too :)

After many years of work I’m so happy to share our work on how Treg cells modulate nociception to dampen skin inflammation! My handle will make a lot more sense now!🕵🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/S6srs9pfsw

🚨Women with ER(–) breast cancer who took aprepitant (anti-nausea drug, NK1R blocker) had a 31% lower risk of metastasis or death (p<0.001) in large Norwegian study by Botteri & Chang. More doses = better survival 📉.Clinically validates our work by @VeenaPadmanaban: neuronal

🎉Exciting news! Our latest work on Glioma-Innervating Neurons has just been published in PNAS!🔗 Read the full article here: https://t.co/wwNgoY5Ewd A huge thank you to my co-mentors @blsabatini, @HaigisLab and co-authors. @MGHNeuroOnc @MGHCancerCenter @MGHNeurology

This brown bear is performing a “wet dog shake”—a stereotypical behavior observed in most mammals when they get wet or encounter an irritant on their back. Researchers in Science have now identified a type of light touch–sensitive mechanoreceptor associated with underfur that

Exciting discovery: CSF flow isn't confined to the brain and spinal cord—it also extends to peripheral nerves! @ScienceMagazine https://t.co/pgjYciGqvR Groundbreaking research from @UFHealth @UF #neurotwitter #neuroscience #AcademicChatter

Congrats to my friend and colleague Guosong Hong for his stunning and original discovery, published today in Science, on clearing tissues *in living animals* with a common food dye! The dye is tartrazine, used in Doritos! https://t.co/fqVivyH0kI

I'm thrilled to announce that our latest research on chronic vulvar pain has been published in Brain! https://t.co/9cDCR0RItO @Brain1878

Welcome @MIskols to the lab for your rotation! Here posing with @CharlesXu3 in the neuro team uniform 👏🏼

Alternate career path?

I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with @leonard_qi on this project over the recent years; we explore a dense population of vibration-sensitive neurons in the genitalia and their contribution to sexual behavior (now including the clitorovaginal reflex)

A GWAS of having never experienced a headache in life revealed a signal near ADARB2, which encodes an RNA editing enzyme expressed mainly in the brain. Interestingly, this variant is not associated with migraine or any other forms of headache. Fascinating! Olofsson et al. Comm
