Nov 01, 2024 - New pre-print on bioRxiv!
We are very excited to share Limei's paper, now available on bioRxiv: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.10.29.620933v1! 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.
