Dr. Brenda Milner is an icon at @theneuro.bsky.social. Happy birthday!
Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

Bi-allelic mutations in FASTKD5 are associated with cytochrome c oxidase deficiency and early- to late-onset Leigh syndrome
Mutations in FASTKD5, which codes for a protein essential for processing the primary
mitochondrial transcript, were identified in subjects who presented with Leigh syndrome

Today is Rare disease day!
There are over 6000 rare diseases that present with a variety of symptoms affecting all organs. Although we call them rare, they affect over 300 millions of individuals world-wide. Help raise awareness, so we, scientists, can search for cures.
