Postdoc position: our team is looking for a postdoctoral colleague interested in developing and testing theories of brainstem function in AD using fMRI/PET. The Martinos Center / MGH in Boston is a superb place to work. Reach out if you have any questions. Come and join us! 🎉🔵

Looking back at a successful, inspiring and collaborative first Integrative Neuromodulatory Subcortical Systems meeting in Boston! Thanks to all participants joining us in person or remotely for 2 days of science, networking and fun! With support from @istaart.bsky.social & @mghmartinos.bsky.social

Genetic studies reveal protective variants that delay Alzheimer's, offering insights into new therapies.

Be sure to check out our new review on protective genetic variants in Lancet Neurology, along with the editorial that features this research!

Honored to present at the 25 years of @mghmartinos.bsky.social symposium. So much cool science has been done and Is still being done.

National pangolin day ! advanced bar trivia: The tree pangolin is the only vertebrate which doesn’t have an LC (no A6)! It sort of moved NE neurons to the sub-coeruleus but runs dendrites to empty A6 site, that kept normal neurochem relations (ORX/Ch/5HT) onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

"The Locus Coeruleus: Blueprint Towards Identifying Preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease" www.youtube.com/live/SYXJ83-... there’s another doctor in the house. 🎉🎉🍾 ! Congratulations Nina !

Back from 🇵🇷 to Boston. Quite the contrast.

2nd day of hitting the memory buffer @HAI2025 Inspiring keynote from @leatgrinberg.bsky.social

Postponed it as long as I could but compliance requirements have caught up. All appendages crossed.

New work from our postdoc Elouise Koops just got published: #locuscoeruleus metabolism is elevated in preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, and provides resilience against cognitive decline! In collaboration with Joyita Dutta (UMass) alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Ready to smoke test Silent BObX MkII Neuro stimulation SSR /randomization sham/stim box. Now I will find out if the ‘it looked larger on the spec sheet’ (quarter for size) zener diode d1 is in the right direction because I can barely see the 🤬 thing . #prototyping #alzheimer #RAVANS

Day 3 of figuring out where these artifacts come from. Hey I think I found it! v28.0
