I've had the privilege & luck of having NSF funding for >25 yrs. #WithoutNSF we would not have discovered new mechanisms of chemosensation, described how gut bacteria influence neuronal function, trained many who are now scientists & educators, & appreciated the joys & rewards of science outreach.

Microglia transcriptional states and their functional significance: Context drives diversity

In the brain, microglia are continuously exposed to a dynamic microenvironment throughout life, requiring them to adapt accordingly to specific develo…

How does the brain repair myelin after injury? We mapped the full cellular choreography of white matter repair using snRNA-seq + Slide-seqv2, uncovering a type I interferon-driven glial program that recruits lymphocytes to promote remyelination. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Details below 👇

My lab studies both lab mice and naked mole rats. There is a belief amongst some that what we discover in mice will be universally true, and what we discover in naked mole rats will be a weird mole rat quirk. I believe this mouse-centric view of biological systems is very limiting.

Meet Olumide Fagboyegun @olumidejf.bsky.social on #HumansofHBI The big question driving Olumide's research- What factors guide the development and maturation of the nervous system? brain.harvard.edu/hbi_humans/o... @bethstevenslab.bsky.social

Olumide Fagboyegun - Harvard Brain Science Initiative

What I study is how the furniture of the brain—those proteins and sugars—changes as an organism develops, and how that change influences how cells function, and how organisms behave.

ok- sci bsky - trying this out. our latest paper with @arimolofskylab.bsky.social shows that "allergic" immune cells (ILC2s) have a healthy function in developing brain: formation of inhibitory synapses - key tuners of brain activity www.science.org/stoken/autho...

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells promote inhibitory synapse development and social behavior

The innate immune system shapes brain development and is implicated in neurodevelopmental diseases. It is critical to define the relevant immune cells and signals and their impact on brain circuits. I...
