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 ...

On my way back from the @gliameeting.bsky.social in beautiful Marseille 🤩
Amazing days of inspiring science and stunning views!
Grateful for the chance to present my data and connect with glia-lover colleagues!!

Asked #ChatGPT to create a conceptual representation of my life based on our past conversations. This is the result! 🥲 Pretty cool, but I wish I'd been placed at least halfway down that long path! 🫣
