So it seems that with #female first author #female shared first author #female last author & #female second last author we somehow belong to the 4.7% (or even less) Shocking & More reason to celebrate @pengliu.bsky.social @pakanlab.bsky.social @hih-tuebingen.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social

I’m exited to share the good news that I received Hertie Network of Excellence in Clinical Neuroscience fellowship! @hertieneurosci.bsky.social It will be a great step forward for me to develop into an independent researcher. And thank you Esther @estherkuehn.bsky.social for your support and help!

I’m honoured to receive 2025 China Europe Outstanding Young Scientist Award. As a kid, being a ‘scientist’ always sound far away, yet now I am called a scientist on many occasions. It’s a very nice feeling, I must say. And it will surely encourage me to keep pursuing in neuroscience.

This award should also be shared with my great colleague and co-first author of the paper, Juliane Doehler, for the fantastic team work and dedication that made this research possible. Looking forward to what comes next!

I'm incredibly honoured and excited to share the great news, that I am awarded #Attempto-Preis 2025! 🎉🥳 This recognition is for our recently published paper, “Layer-specific changes in sensory cortex across the life span in mice and humans.” at #Nature Neuroscience. It truly is a career highlight.

The principal layer architecture of the sensory cortex is altered with aging. A paper in Nature Neuroscience shows that overall thinning of the primary somatosensory cortex is driven by deep layer degeneration but that layer IV is more pronounced in old age. go.nature.com/45l9kq8 🧪
This is figure 2, which shows age-related differences in the structural layer architecture of human SI.

🧠 The human brain ages less than thought and in layers – at least in the area of the cortex responsible for the sense of touch. See study @natneuro.nature.com by @estherkuehn.bsky.social and colleagues at DZNE, @hih-tuebingen.bsky.social and @uni-magdeburg.de: 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Does aging homogeneously affects all cortical layers? In our new 7T-MRI paper @natneuro.nature.com we propose a new layer model of sensory aging in humans, with supporting evidence from Two-Photon Calcium Imaging in mice. @estherkuehn.bsky.social @pakanlab.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
