Super happy to see our new study, on how the interpeduncular nucleus (IPN) regulates nicotine reward, now out in #Neuron !

Using chemogenetics, we show that blocking IPN activation enhances VTA responses and increases nicotine's rewarding effect.

If you can compute with human neurons, drop the "artificial" ;) @dr1337

The world’s first “biological computer” that fuses human brain cells with silicon hardware to form fluid neural networks has been commercially launched. #frightening

"In mice, here we reveal a non-pyramidal excitatory neuron type — the “ovoid” neuron — that is spatially adjacent to subiculum pyramidal cells but differs in gene expression, electrophysiology, morphology, and connectivity. Functionally, novel object encounters drive sustained ovoid neuron activity, whereas familiar objects fail to drive activity even months after single-trial learning."

"Our study demonstrates a unique role for MANF in autophagy and lysosome function, critical processes for clearing toxic proteins. In the animal model Caenorhabditis elegans, overexpressing MANF extended lifespan, reduced protein clumps, and conferred protection on neurons. These roles of MANF are mediated by the HLH-30/TFEB, a master regulator of lysosome function"
