Chronic Striatal Cholinergic Interneuron Excitation Causes Cerebral Palsy‐Related Dystonic Behavior in Mice
Objective
Mouse models of genetic dystonias have demonstrated abnormal striatal cholinergic interneuron excitability, but do not consistently demonstrate subjective dystonic features. To determine w.....

I did a lot of talking about writing, medicine, disability, and ableism in (a LOT) of lectures and two podcasts.
I got to chat with neurology's own renaissance woman, @oligoclonalband.bsky.social for the Journal of Child Neurology Podcast
