Single-cell consequences of X-linked meiotic drive in stalk-eyed flies

Author summary Meiotic drivers, a class of selfish gene, are frequently located on sex chromosomes and have dramatic impacts on gamete development. However, our understanding of their molecular conseq...

Great work by @georgiamneuro.bsky.social, revealing important temporal confounds in certain analyses aimed at revealing perceptual learning using fMRI RSA analysis. #neuroskyence

We find temporal confounds in fMRI that emulate neural patterns of perceptual learning.

These can be hard to spot with conventional RSA, but may influence our understanding of how prior knowledge shapes perception.

Thrilled to see this monumental work in @thelancet.bsky.social! A single subretinal injection led to staggering improvements in nearly blind children, while behavioural and EEG data from our lab reveal a dramatic boost in function and cortex activity. A major leap for vision restoration! t.ly/fvdQy

Gene therapy in children with AIPL1-associated severe retinal dystrophy: an open-label, first-in-human interventional study

Our findings indicate that young children with AIPL1-related retinal dystrophy benefited substantially from subretinal administration of rAAV8.hRKp.AIPL1, with improved visual acuity and functional vi...
