1/8 Are all synapses created equal? @clembrnrd in @Rico_lab and @Marinlab has found that the building of new synapses is controlled in a cell-type and even synapse-type-specific manner. This is the story @ScienceMagazine

Today, we’re introducing a new model that eliminates accept/reject decisions. By publishing every paper with eLife reviews as a Reviewed Preprint, we plan to restore autonomy to authors, ensuring that they will be judged by what, not where, they publish. https://t.co/OAsiOVFStI

The final version of our study seeking to understand how even mild respiratory COVID can affect the brain is now published. Sharing an updated thread… 1/ Mild respiratory COVID can cause multi-lineage neural cell and myelin dysregulation
cell.com
Mild respiratory COVID causes neuroinflammation and multi-lineage cellular dysregulation in the central nervous system, a phenomenon mirroring cancer-therapy-related cognitive impairment.

"The common thread in all of the country’s revolting mass shootings is the absurdly easy access to guns. The science is clear: Restrictions work, and it’s likely that even more limitations would save thousands of lives," https://t.co/xyWx5CpaQz

Excited to share our latest preprint led by killer team @RafaelTaeho and @IliaVainchtein with colleagues from @JeanneTPaz and Chris Glass labs – showing that microglia protect the developing brain from seizures via IL-33, the reshaper of epigenomes
biorxiv.org
Microglia are key remodelers of neuronal synapses during brain development, but the mechanisms that regulate this process and its ultimate impact on neural circuit function are not well defined. We...

In a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, astrocytes signal to microglia, which then cluster around disease-associated protein aggregates and help to clear them. Find out more in this excellent N&V by @jerika_barron and @AnnaMolofskyLab
