A postnatal molecular switch drives activity-dependent maturation of parvalbumin interneurons
Neuronal activity triggers PGC-1α-mediated transcriptional programs that drive the late maturation of PV+ interneurons, essential for cortical circuit function. PGC-1α partners with ERRγ and Mef2c to ...

🚨 New Paper Alert! 🚨 I’m very happy to share our newest paper in Cell, led by the brilliant Monika Moissidis. We show that PGC1a regulates the maturation of PV+ interneurons in an activity-dependent manner. Link below 👇 www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... @cellpress.bsky.social @marinlab.bsky.social

On the value of investing in curiosity driven research - which in this case contributed to the personalised gene therapy for a rare disease on.ft.com/45rXI50 @anjahuja.bsky.social
But it also sends a critical message about the value of fundamental and translational
scientific research. The work that led to this breakthrough, using "genetic scissors" to repair a faulty gene, began in laboratories pursuing basic science and was later adapted for therapeutic use. If we are to safeguard the breakthroughs of the future, governments must recognise and protect the pipelines that lead from curiosity-driven investigation to real-world benefit.

Thrilled to share our latest study out in @natureportfolio.nature.com led by the fantastically talented Jing Liu. Our study provides insight into a long standing question in biology: What molecular features make us uniquely human and how do these function? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new paper is out. We point out that large brained (and often smart) mammals and birds have evolved very different distribution of neurons numbers in the brain. This means that similar cognitive abilities have evolved in very different brains. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
