Nov 01, 2024 - New pre-print on bioRxiv!We are very excited to share Limei's paper,
now available on bioRxiv! Limei performed a detailed characterization of medial septum cholinergic and parvalbumin (PV)-expressing inhibitory interneurons in wild-type versus Dravet Syndrome model mice, and identified significant differences in the PV cells. Congratulations and thank you to Limei and to co-authors Yiannos, Joe, and Juan for their work on this project.
Oct 12, 2024 - Pumpkin carving party!
Our fall lab social event was a pumpkin carving party, which was a fun chance for everyone to show off their impressive artistic talents. (Zoom in to see Izzy's neuron!)
Oct 06, 2024 - Nagham and Krystal present at SfN
Our lab had two posters at the Society for Neuroscience conference this year. Nagham and Krystal both did a fantastic job presenting their work: Krystal shared her findings identifying seizure-associated changes in the PPN, and Nagham presented her data quantifying Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) rates across different experimental conditions in the Scn1a+/- mouse model. Congratulations!
Oct 04, 2024 - Anam receives Biology Travel Award
Anam, an undergraduate student in the lab, received a Biology Travel Award to support her upcoming attendance at the American Epilepsy Society conference, where she will present her research. Congratulations, Anam!
Aug 26, 2024 - New year & new lab members!
We're excited to get started with the 2024-2025 academic year! It's great to have all of our undergraduate students back on campus. This year we have four seniors in the lab (Nagham, Rida, Juan, and Izzy), each of whom will be completing an honor's thesis. We are also happy to welcome two new lab members, Maya (sophomore) and Megan (freshman): they both connected with the lab in the spring / summer and are officially getting started this fall. We're looking forward to a wonderful year!
