Marcelino and Al-Fatly et al. report literature-based lesion network mapping of dyskinetic cerebral palsy. Grey matter lesions are the most common MRI finding; the motor thalamus is a converging node of a wide functional network. Read at buff.ly/IyRv0E0.

Incredibly happy and proud to share our newest work in
Science Transl Med showing that Aβ promotes neuronal hyperconnectivity, thereby driving tau spread across connected brain regions. Many thanks to first authors @sebroemer.bsky.social and Fabian Wagner!

Amyloid-associated hyperconnectivity drives tau spread across connected brain regions in Alzheimer’s disease
Aβ induces neuronal hyperconnectivity, which promotes tau spreading from temporal lobe epicenters to connected brain regions in Alzheimer’s disease.

Mapping neuropeptide signaling in the human brain | doi.org/10.1101/2024...

Neuropeptides are among the functionally diverse signaling molecules in the brain and body.

@cebric.bsky.social curates an atlas of neuropeptide receptors and relates it brain function 🧩 🧠 ⤵️
