Increased HCN1 activity in human excitatory neurons drives excessive network bursting in Dravet syndrome www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10....

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...

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 🤩🤩🤩

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 ...

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!
