My better half, clinician-scientist Johanna Knoferle, is giving a talk at #AAIC on our work on the role of T cells in Alzheimer's disease. July 12, 14:00–15:30 (GMT+1) 📍 Session 1-21-FRS-A #Tcells

As #FENS2026 wraps in Barcelona, it's Istanbul's turn: #FRM2027, 26–29 May 2027, Lütfi Kırdar Congress Center. Hosted by the Neuroscience Society of Türkiye with partners from 🇬🇷🇷🇸🇸🇮. As scientific program chair, excited to help build this. See you at the Synapse of Continents ✨ #SynapseOfContinents

Fascinating closing plenary lecture by Prof Edward Chang, UCSF at the last day of @fens.org Forum in Barcelona. A full room of attedes was mesmerized by the emerging field of human systems neuroscience and neural computations underlying human speech perception.

This was a truly interdisciplinary team effort w/ expertise across neuroscience, immunology & NDD. Huge thanks to everyone involved including our collaborators in labs of Menna Clatworthy, @lignanilab.bsky.social, Tarja Malm, Victor Tybulewicz, @macaskillaf.bsky.social & @movahedilab.bsky.social

Thrilled to share: we show that neuronal hyperactivity drives C1q-mediated synapse loss via brain-recruited B cell/IgM, revealing unexpected neuroimmune crosstalk in the adult brain. Congrats to Gerard Crowley who led this w/ resilience & creativity & our whole team! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

DZNE researchers have uncovered a mechanism that explains why neurons normally form only a single, long extension called the axon. This fundamental process underpins how the brain is wired. The findings are published in @nature.com. Paper link in the first comment. 👉 www.dzne.de/en/news/pres...

Cells are not just bags of molecules. Function depends on spatial interactions: RNAs and/or proteins come together with interaction partners to drive regulation and function. In our new preprint, we introduce ProPER, a novel method for in situ proximity detection. Preprint: tinyurl.com/muju86s6

This one genuinely warms my heart. I was lucky enough to see this as an idea in its infancy, and watching it grow into a Cell paper over years is something else. Well deserved :)

My fav words “accepted in principle"! Thanks reviewer 4 for being so positive! "The new experiments are not only responsive to my critique, but to the points made by the other 3 reviewers. The paper will be of interest to a broad readership, from cell biologists to Alzheimer's researchers."
