Ancient Somatosensory Circuit Architectures Employ Flexible Molecular Strategies
The extent to which conserved neural circuit architectures depend on shared molecular specification programs remains unclear. Here, we address this question by examining the somatosensory system of th...

Potentiation of active locomotor state by spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons
Fenstermacher et al. map the structure and activity of spinal-projecting serotonergic neurons and show that 5-HT populations are engaged in a context-dependent manner during locomotion. Activation of ...

Donald Trump's attack on science is turning back the clock on research that saves lives and powers our economy in Massachusetts and beyond. Not on my watch. I'm pressing Trump's health leaders for answers now.

Can’t make this up.
A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads:
"Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education."

Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

🥁 Elisa Toscano idenitified a new subtype of propriospinal neurons and found a role in the execution of skilled movements🤸‍♂️. Great job from Elisa and everybody involved 💪. @alesantuz.bsky.social, @lowensteined.bsky.social. Check it out and let us know what you think: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My editorial on the indirect cuts. This is an opportunity for campuses to come together to make the case for higher education. Leaders need to step up and ask for support and lead. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

A direct hit
Late last week, the Trump administration set off a frenzy in the US scientific community when the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that indirect cost reimbursement for federally funded re...

Gene editing technology began by people studying salt marshes. Ozempic began by folks studying the venom of Gila Monsters. Support for basic science has empowered us to understand our world. Tethering it to applications health has transformed and saved countless lives.

Big paper from @paigel.bsky.social in our lab: Sensory feedback is always crucial for proper development, right? Wrong! Crazier still, the motor system is the slowest part of a developing reflex circuit! Surprises abound in this bluetorial c’mon along…. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 1/19

Sensation is dispensable for the maturation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex
Vertebrates stabilize gaze using a neural circuit that transforms sensed instability into compensatory counterrotation of the eyes. Sensory feedback tunes this vestibulo-ocular reflex throughout life....

I am saddened by the passing of Lynn Landmesser, a pioneer in neural development and cornerstone of our department. When I arrived, she was still teaching students to fabricate electrodes and dazzling junior faculty with stories about the history of the field. She will be missed.
