Asst. Prof at UCPH, Denmark. I research how things go wrong in neurodev disorders. Still trying to figure out how the world works. Indian at heart (whatever that means)
The work was carried out by Andrea Asenjo-Martinez and Katarina Dragicevic, as well as the experienced Wen-Hsien Hou (Aarhus) who carried out the in vivo recordings and sleep analysis.
Thanks must also go to Prof. Jean-Francois Perrier and Nikolaj Hansen for helping us with ex-vivo calcium imaging

The affected mice also had major sleep disturbances tied directly to these malfunctioning neurons. By targeting and temporarily “quietening” the overactive Sst_Chodl neurons, we were able to rescue normal sleep patterns.

These cells connect distant parts of the brain and help regulate brain activity.

What's more, we found the major gene expression changes appeared only after the brain matured—shadowing a crucial aspect of psychiatric disorders

We examined neurons from mice with a 15q13.3 microdeletion, a genetic change strongly linked to neuropsychiatric disorders in humans.

Deep-layer GABAergic neurons—especially somatostatin-positive (Sst_Chodl) cells—to be most severely affected.

Really cool work. Congratulations to all the authors 👏🏽

I don't think the poor quality is a result of poor journos. Rather it is top down cultivation of primetime joker editors, and the lack of fact-checkers. Of course it helps that the paying audience is happy with whatever they are fed.

As a wet-lab biologist, I'm amazed by how much data is already out there waiting to be mined.
Thanks to Kostya, Susmita, and Carl for indulging in this journey.

I don't every time I am making a poster on PowerPoint or Illustrator. Also when I need to cut down words for a submission. The change from staring at a screen really helps.

Need to see the fine print of the decision but afaik, The IWT allows India to use all of the eastern rivers.
