Nancy Lurie Marks Prize for Autism Research Huda Y. Zoghbi HHMI Investigator Baylor College of Medicine
Celebrating #HHMIInvestigator Huda Zoghbi, recognized by the Lurie Autism Institute for her ground-breaking discovery that mutations in the MECP2 gene cause Rett syndrome (an autism-related neurodevelopmental disorder) — work that continues to transform autism research today: bit.ly/4sFhNx6.
Warm congratulations to The Brain Prize winners 2026, Professor David Ginty and Professor Patrik Ernfors, for their pioneering work on how the nervous system detects and processes touch and pain.

What kind of CIHR math is that...what were they thinking? LOL
🧪🧠 New preprint: helping resolve a decades-long debate in synaptic plasticity
NMDA receptors are central to Hebbian learning. Yet for >30 years, the existence and function of presynaptic NMDA receptors have remained controversial.

Please share: I am recruiting a PhD student to join my lab in Oslo!
For this project, we will investigate the role of striatal interneurons during action selection, using a combination of behavior, in vivo voltage imaging, and slice ephys.

Congrats Alex, this is such a truly beautiful work!
Please repost: another kind of Black-Friday deal!
Very cool research!
I am recruiting graduate students for the experimental side of my lab @mcgill.ca for admission in Fall 2026!
Get in touch if you're interested in how brain circuits implement distributed computation, including dopamine-based distributed RL and probabilistic representations.
After 10 years, I am stepping down as chair of our department and we have an active search going on! Utah is a phenomenal place to live and work and it's been the honor of a lifetime chairing the department founded by Lou Goodman. #MedSky #Neuroskyence Repost!

Since this is going to be headline news tomorrow…
The highest quality research has shown Tylenol use in pregnancy is NOT at all associated with autism risk.
To suggest otherwise is to be an amateur that cherry-picks data points from decades ago.
What we discussed 2 weeks ago remains true today ⬇️
Breaking News: The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on ICE agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based on factors like ethnicity.
Great idea.
Very fun collaborating with the Russell lab on this one. Tireless efforts of Dr. Truc (Cloe) Losier to bring this across the finish line.
