I may be a little biased here but I think this is SUCH a cool story….a new HCN1-focussed mechanism in Dravet syndrome (infant epilepsy). Helps to explain why current treatments haven’t worked and offers a novel genuinely druggable target.Awesome 🤩🤩🤩

Increased HCN1 activity in human excitatory neurons drives excessive network bursting in Dravet syndrome
Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe childhood epilepsy caused by mutations of the sodium channel NaV1.1. These mutations are thought to compromise the ability of inhibitory interneurons to regulate netwo...

A postnatal molecular switch drives activity-dependent maturation of parvalbumin interneurons
Neuronal activity triggers PGC-1α-mediated transcriptional programs that drive the late maturation of PV+ interneurons, essential for cortical circuit function. PGC-1α partners with ERRγ and Mef2c to ...

New paper from Julie Jézéquel and the Rico lab
on role of cadherins in neuronal inhibition out now in Nat Comms! @natureportfolio.nature.com rdcu.be/el18f
Cadherins orchestrate specific patterns of perisomatic inhibition onto distinct pyramidal cell populations
Nature Communications - How cortical interneurons establish precise connections among intermingled populations of excitatory neurons remains unclear. Here, the authors reveal that Cadherins...

Ever wondered how to share research data but didn’t know where to start? Join us for an informal and open workshop where we’ll break down the how and why of data sharing.

Delighted to see this out! A great story by @bcompans and @vimast86 with the help of @Lenherr_C. Nanoscale plasticity of axo-axonic synapses at the AIS. Enjoy!
Thank you @jbneuro.bsky.social for giving me the freedome to apply my fascination for super-resolution micrscopy to one of, if not his favorite compartment, the AIS.
A big thanks to Vincenzo for bringing his fantastic patching skills and to Clara for joining this adventure too!
