Harvard chemist and molecular biologist David Liu invented gene editing tools that can correct and rewrite defective genes. His research could one day help hundreds of millions of people with genetic diseases, including sickle cell and muscular dystrophy. https://t.co/YgmqXkMouW

I don’t even have jokes anymore, I’m just so tired of politicians’ disdain for transit riders. Every day the Gateway tunnel project is delayed is another day rail riders are literally left stranded (including ME)

This is, without a doubt, the greatest news story of 2025

Neurons transmit signals through synaptic vesicle release, but the nanoscale dynamics of this process have been unclear. In a new Science study, researchers report using time-resolved cryo–electron tomography to visualize synaptic vesicle dynamics in situ and propose a unified

Useful look at how leucovorin has and hasn’t been studied in relation to autism traits:

“I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that the list did not include multiple studies on why vaccines cause autism,” says Brian Lee about the newly awarded Autism Data Science Initiative projects. By @callimcflurry https://t.co/NrlYddgyeH

A method for capturing neuronal activity using fMRI excited the neuroimaging field but couldn’t be replicated. Today, the authors of the original paper retracted their work. By @callimcflurry https://t.co/eDQvV6qfu7

Oxytocin controls both sides of the mother-pup relationship in mice, influencing how pups communicate when separated from their mothers, a new study finds. By @claulopezneuro https://t.co/ESK52rCzQz

“This neural configuration before amputation remains after the amputation. And it’s not ‘use it or lose it,’” says @blamlab. By @avaskham https://t.co/aRxX2fRSTo

Here is my new OpED piece about the importance of primate neuroscience research for the future of AI :

📣 Calling all early career neuroscientists! @_TheTransmitter & Neuromatch are teaming up to better understand how to support early-career researchers. Whether you're a student, postdoc, or launching your career in neuroscience, we want to hear from you. ➡️ https://t.co/2EGHYIvDfv

More than a year after garnering pushback on social media for its methods, a study claiming prenatal COVID-19 vaccine exposure caused autism-like behaviors in rats has been retracted. By @martajhill https://t.co/MQ3EMTuNRm

Brain recordings in freely moving mice reveal that sensory cortices can multitask beyond their known roles, according to a new study, highlighting the importance of naturalistic experiments in sensory neuroscience. By @claulopezneuro https://t.co/hRXhRSCO82

Senate Appropriations has a modest *INCREASE* in NIH funding but it will need to be recconciled with the house cut. If you have not been calling your representative of late now would be a good time to start again https://t.co/uYcmil8Bcb

The NIH budget would INCREASE by $400m — not slashed by 40%, as Trump proposed — in a proposal by Senate appropriators, says Sen Murray. "Some have asked if there will even be an NIH by [2029]. The commmittee's resounding message is yes—Congress has your back", she says.

FYI @SenatorCollins @PattyMurray..NIH is not giving out funds to Alzheimer's disease research..despite your recent senate hearing emphasizing this as a priority!
