After quite a saga, our collaborative work with Sebastian Brachs (@ChariteBerlin ) is out in Biology of Sex Differences (@BioMedCentral) looking at sex differences in energetic demand in the pre plaque stage in an Alzheimer's disease model. 🧠👀

It's been a great pleasure to attend my first EBBS meeting which took place the past few days in Bordeaux. What a privilege to learn about so much exciting and inspiring behavior research in the setting of this stunning city.

Thanks to all the organizers!

Excited to share the first preprint from the lab, led by the talented trio: PhD student Rosalba, master student Erika and technician Maria. We examined the roles of the translational modulators MNK1 and MNK2 and found that they have distinct functions at the synapse www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Distinct roles for MNK1 and MNK2 in social and cognitive behavior through kinase-specific regulation of the synaptic proteome and phosphoproteome

Local mRNA translation is required for adaptive changes in the synaptic proteome. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) interacting protein kinases 1 and 2 (MNK1 and MNK2) have emerged as key re...

Atomistic Mechanisms of Calcium Permeation Modulated by Q/R Editing and Selectivity Filter Mutations in GluA2 AMPA Receptors

GluA2 is a key subunit of AMPA receptor ion channels that is abundantly expressed in the vertebrate brain. Posttranscriptional Q/R editing of GluA2 renders AMPARs nearly impermeable to calcium ions, w...

Försökte skapa en starter pack för naturvetenskaplig och medicinsk forskning (obs, inte vård och vårdpolitik). Jag har inte bra koll på alla konton här, meddela mig vilka som bör läggas till. Finns 130-ish platser kvar.

Happy to finally see this work published!🐭🎉

Our work shows how the localized expression of human amyloid percursor protein is sufficient to result in progressive memory deficits and impairment in hippocampal theta sequences.
