I attended this summer course when I visited China last year. It was an eye opening experience. The speaker lineup is really good and there are plenty of opportunities to interact with these world class imaging experts and neuroscientists.

A terrific story about David’s work on touch: Touch, Our Most Complex Sense, Is a Landscape of Cellular Sensors | Quanta Magazine

Well deserved prize!

We are very excited that Dr. David Ginty will be visiting UNC TOMORROW to accept the 23rd Perl-UNC Neuroscience Prize. He will be giving a talk at 12:30 PM in 1131 Bioinformatics. https://t.co/PKnKGMbgMQ

Meet @Celinesan on #HumansofHBI "My work focuses on understanding how early life sensory experiences, especially tactile experiences, influence animal development. My approach to tackling this question has been to use... @harvardmed @Harvard https://t.co/WBSPBrr3O0

Such cool work! The behaviors and underlying neural mechanism of mammal infants are so intriguing but underappreciated. This paper from @yuexuan_li in the lab of @dietrich_mo truly demonstrated the beauty and insights that can be obtained from studying mouse pups. Congrats!

I'm thrilled to join @DFCI_CancerBio and @HarvardCellBio as a tenure track assistant professor Sept 2024! The Gu lab elucidates mechanisms underlying cellular homeostasis, with our initial effort on nuclear protein turnover by the ubiquitin-independent midnolin-proteasome pathway

My lab at @NYU_CNS is recruiting trainees at all levels starting in Jan 2025! Our goal is to understand how behavioral variables such as calorie intake and time estimates are computed using molecules inside individual neurons. https://t.co/cqFOY9hNCy

Also check out the Nature podcast that talked about our work with @MIskols

In the paper, we revealed that the Krause corpuscles, discovered by Krause in the 1860s in the human clitoris and penis, sense vibration and dynamic light touch, mediate sexual reflex in female and male mice, and are crucial for the mating behaviors of female and male mice

Thanks a lot for the nice commentary article by Prof. Abdus-Saboor @IshmailSaboor and Dr. Zavitsanou.

Excited to share our paper on the specialized sensory structures of the genitalia for sexual touch. It was a collective efforts with the co-first author Michael Iskols @MIskols and other authors @RSegalGreenberg @AnnieHandler and others not on X.

Check out the cool work from Alex on how norepinephrine changes behavioral state via astroglial purinergic signaling

Really cool work

Differential control of intestine function by genetically defined enteric neurons

📢 My lab at Vanderbilt University is recruiting 1-2 postdocs and 1-2 technicians to work on mammalian somatosensation development and function! Application details are available at my lab website. https://t.co/pzFvjFPxhn Please apply soon and get in touch!! Please help me RT!

Excited to share our paper on mouse DRG genetic toolkit that reveals morphological and physiological diversity of somatosensory neuron subtypes. Thanks to all the co-authors!

Such amazing techniques from Jianguo Gu's lab: Patching on the heminode and 1st node of Merkel cell- neurite complexes using pressure-patch-clamp. The many mysteries of spiking in various sensory terminals may start to be unveiled by these techniques.

Thrilled to share our preprint reporting the discovery of a previously unrecognized population of LepR-expressing fast-acting satiety neurons in the hypothalamus ARC. These neurons directly inhibit AGRP neurons, providing a crucial counterbalance. https://t.co/yQ9djK3hHo

Really love the work from Aniqa Tasnim and colleagues showing the developmental timing of spinal touch alterations in ASD models. The tactile behavior in pups is super cool!
