Christian MayerOur research is now supported by a 2024 Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) Pilot Award, co-funded by the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation (NLMFF). I am grateful to both SFARI and NLMFF for investing in high-risk, high-reward science to advance understanding of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and neurodevelopmental disorders.The project will explore how mutations in chromatin regulators ASH1L and SETBP1 impair their crucial role in guiding the development of GABAergic neurons—key cells maintaining the brain’s balance between excitation and inhibition. Disruptions in this process are strongly linked to ASD, but the molecular pathways remain poorly understood.By integrating genomic, proteomic, and functional approaches, we aim to reveal how these enzymes regulate gene activity during inhibitory neuron development and how their dysfunction contributes to ASD.Official announcements: SFARI: <a href="https://www.sfari.org/2025/04/08/announcing-the-recipients-of-the-2024-pilot-and-pilot-progression-awards/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sfari.org/2025/04/08/announcing-the-recipients-of-the-2024-pilot-and-pilot-progression-awards/</a> NLMFF: <a href="https://www.nlmfoundation.org/grant/epigenetic-regulators-ash1l-and-setbp1-in-gabaergic-neuron-development-and-asd/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nlmfoundation.org/grant/epigenetic-regulators-ash1l-and-setbp1-in-gabaergic-neuron-development-and-asd/</a><a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/newsmayerlab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#newsmayerlab</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/SFARI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SFARI</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/NLMFF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NLMFF</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AutismResearch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AutismResearch</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Neurodevelopment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neurodevelopment</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Epigenetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Epigenetics</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/GABA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GABA</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Genomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genomics</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Chromatin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chromatin</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neuroscience</a>

Albert CardonaLatest from Kathy Nagel's lab:"Inhibitory control explains locomotor statistics in walking Drosophila", Gattuso et al. 2025 <a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2407626122" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pnas.2407626122</a>"we measure and analyze trajectories evoked by attractive odor in walking Drosophila and develop a biologically plausible computational model of trajectory generation and modulation by sensory input. Our model provides a link between neural architectures and locomotor behavior and highlights the potential role of inhibition in shaping the curvature and speed of trajectories. Inspired by this model, we experimentally identify single neurons and populations that modulate either curvature or speed in the manner predicted by our model."<a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Drosophila" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Drosophila</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/locomotion" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#locomotion</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CompNeurosci" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CompNeurosci</a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/SystemsNeuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SystemsNeuroscience</a>

Joseph MeyerI finished reading Consciousness Explained by Daniel Dennett last night. I liked the author’s interdisciplinary approach to his theory of consciousness. He accomplished his aim of causing me to think differently, and I expect to continue thinking about what I read when I’m less sleepy. One trivial way the book influenced me is by changing my opinion from “hating AI” to “hating how AI is used today.” I think AI can be more useful in research for understanding consciousness, than as a tool for profit. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Consciousness</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Philosophy</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Psychology</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neuroscience</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Dennett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dennett</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DanielDennett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DanielDennett</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Books</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ComputerScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ComputerScience</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a>

lmfNonequilibrium physics of brain dynamics <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.12188" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.12188</a>"Information processing in the brain is coordinated by the dynamic activity of neurons and neural populations at a range of spatiotemporal scales. These dynamics, captured in the form of electrophysiological recordings and neuroimaging, show evidence of time-irreversibility and broken detailed balance suggesting that the brain operates in a nonequilibrium stationary state. Furthermore, the level of nonequilibrium, measured by entropy production or irreversibility appears to be a crucial signature of cognitive complexity and consciousness."<a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neuroscience</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/dynamical_systems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dynamical_systems</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/consciousness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#consciousness</a>
