If you haven't seen it yet, check out newest study from researchers @mbfneuro.bsky.social, @kristenbrennand.bsky.social, et al. in which they explore the complex functional impact of rare neurexin-1 deletions across human glutamatergic & GABAergic neurons!

I am beyond thrilled to highlight @mbfneuro.bsky.social's thesis work! I've learned so much through his studies and am excited to take this project in new directions!

Finally, huge shoutout to @darnelr.bsky.social, my postdoc mentor who provided me with the support and flexibility to work on revisions while setting up for a lot of fun, incredible science that I look forward to in the coming years at Rockefeller πŸ₯‚

What makes this work so special to me was working together with so many others (from trainees in the lab and outside collaborators) over 6 years (which included a pandemic, a lab move, a wedding and starting a new postdoc!). Thank you to everyone over the years who contributed to the β€œNeurexin team”

This work would not have been possible without the many years of support and mentorship of my thesis advisors @kristenbrennand.bsky.social and Paul Slesinger, in addition to our stellar collaborators @gangfang.bsky.social and David Knowles!

Phenotypic complexities of rare heterozygous neurexin-1 deletions - Nature How NRXN1 variants affect multiple neuropsychiatric disorders is explored.

I’m so proud and beyond thrilled to share the final product of my thesis work from @sinaibrain.bsky.social , now published in @nature.com! Here, we explored the complex functional impact of rare neurexin-1 deletions across human glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons!
