Neuroscientist in Uppsala. Synapses and astrocytes

This paper includes the most beautiful glutamate transporter currents we have ever recorded in the lab! We show that astrocytes are greatly affected and that the amount of current, and thus the uptake, is greatly reduced in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Reactive Astrocytes with Reduced Function of Glutamate Transporters in the AppNL-G-F Knock-in Mice

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with synaptic and memory dysfunction. One of the hallmarks of AD is reactive astrogliosis, with reactive astrocytes surrounding amyloid plaques in the brain. Ast...

We're disappointed to see Ben Barres's powerful book "The Autobiography of a Transgender Scientist" among the ~400 titles removed from the Naval Academy Library. Needless to say, we're proud to have published his book and will keep it — and his memory — alive.

The Coming Out of a Transgender Scientist

"I know that I am making the right decision because whenever I think about changing my gender role, I am flooded with feelings of relief."

Alert! Postdoc positions available - at least two. Interested in coming to Karolinska and work on adolescent development/schizophrenia? Have a background in neuroscience, functional genomics, computational analysis or spatial transcriptomics? Large data sets available for analysis. Get in touch!

Enhancing my understanding of the work from collaborator Robert Boden by acting as a guinea-pig in transcranial ultrasound stimulation experiment. Treatment with great potential and fascinating for a basic scientist working on activity induced plasticity.
