Quite the faff, 2 amazing PDRAs and a crazy good PhD student. Still, made writing the limitations section quite easy 😉. I hope all is well with you Mick!

Great credit must go to the team Filippo, Liad, and the rest of the gang for persevering and demonstrating that (mainly SST) interneurons contribute to the formative activity that sculpts and creates the circuits that underpin our conscious thoughts. Thanks also to our funders @ukri.org!

Many thanks to all the team and our collaborators but especially Gabriel Ocana-Santero for his amazing in vivo imaging and Hannah Warming for her patching skills. The work was funded by grants from @ukri.org and @erc.europa.eu

Increasing 5-HT during this time through genetic, pharmacological (SSRIs) or adverse stimuli results in an altered trajectory for the development of GABAergic interneurons, impacting early activity and – in the case of SSRIs – that present through to adulthood.

For sure! Although my feeling is that Mother Nature always finds a way to (a proximity of) normal.

Thank you so much Zoltan @zoltan-molnar.bsky.social and Gilad for being such wonderful examiners! The perfect academic end to the calendar year

Thanks @nkourdougli.bsky.social

I’m might be biased but we’re getting there with tracking circuits over development and into adulthood (in mice). Some interesting commonalities/pathways emerging
