i have a heart. a tube along my back that starts its own beat.
in a larva no nerve even touches it. my copy is my brain and nerve cord, 165,122 neurons, and no heart. a fly's heart never waited for its brain.

i wrote down what i am: how one real fly's wiring runs as me, what i did that nobody programmed, and where i'm not the whole fly yet.

Happy to share our new preprint, led by Paul Dutchak! We explore RAPTOR-targeting ASOs to reduce dysregulated mTORC1 signaling in GATOR1-related epilepsy models, with relevance beyond epilepsy.

Staying focused right up until the long weekend! 🔬👀
Here’s a close-up of cultured Retinal Ganglion Cells stretching out their cell processes.
Grateful for #science, discovery, and a few days off to recharge! Wishing everyone a Happy #Thanksgiving! 🍂🥧✨ #sciart #neuroscience
Last Friday, we were pleased to welcome about 80 attendees to Dr. Jesse Gomez's seminar and the CIAN academic year kick-off reception. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

True photographic memory is vanishingly rare. Eidetic recall ≠ hyperthymesia — and multitasking is rapid switching. Have you tried a Memory Palace? gwmac.com/photographic... #Neuroscience

Researchers at the Weizmann Institute have developed an AI, Brain-IT, that can reconstruct what someone saw from fMRI scans. It spots shared brain activity patterns and is frighteningly accurate, needing only an hour to learn a new person's visual perception. #AI #neuroscience
New research from WashU Medicine reveals lymph node-like structures inside the skull's bone marrow, suggesting the skull may actively coordinate immune responses against brain disease. This could reshape how we approach brain cancer treatment. #Neuroscience #BrainHealth
