Have an upcoming paper focused on neuromodulatory subcortical nuclei in neurodegenerative diseases? Please consider submitting to a special issue in @alzdemjournals.bsky.social. I'll be the guest editor along with representatives from the @istaart.bsky.social neuromodulatory subcortical systems PIA.
Check out our review highlighting the importance of monoamines towards understanding Alzheimer's disease. We describe promising neuroimaging and daily life sampling approaches to better elucidate the neurobiological mechanisms underlying AD.

Loss of excitatory inputs and decreased tonic and evoked activity of locus coeruleus neurons in aged P301S mice
Tau pathology in the locus coeruleus (LC) is associated with several neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimers disease and frontotemporal dementia. Phosphorylated tau accumulates in the LC and...

Our latest paper, led by Emmy Li, is out on Neuron today: CRISPRi-based screens in iAssembloids to elucidate neuron-glia interactions www.cell.com/neuron/fullt...
CRISPRi-based screens in iAssembloids to elucidate neuron-glia interactions
Using a 3D co-culture system of iPSC-derived neurons and glia, termed iAssembloids, combined with CRISPRi-based screening, Li et al. investigate the effect of glial cells on neuronal activity and surv...

🔵 #LocusCoeruleus alert! Holy cow... I'm supposed to do something else, but this paper looks amazing! I mean the concept, the implications... wow. www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...
Norepinephrine-mediated slow vasomotion drives glymphatic clearance during sleep
Norepinephrine oscillations during NREM sleep drive synchronized changes in cerebral blood volume and cerebrospinal fluid, promoting glymphatic clearance. Optogenetic and pharmacological manipulations confirm that vasomotion, regulated by norepinephrine, acts as a pump for brain fluid transport.

🧪 Fantastic genetics resource coming your way from @billingsleykj.bsky.social, Cornelis Blauwendraat, and their CARD colleagues. 351 long-read, whole-genome sequences (at ~40x coverage!) with paired brain expression and methylation data. Strong work. #Alzheimer's www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Long-read sequencing of hundreds of diverse brains provides insight into the impact of structural variation on gene expression and DNA methylation
Structural variants (SVs) drive gene expression in the human brain and are causative of many neurological conditions. However, most existing genetic studies have been based on short-read sequencing me...
