Such a pity they don’t know how festive we made them (or do they?)

Promised thread:

C. elegans do a crazy thing -- when we inject DNA into their gonad, they package it all up into a big circular chromosome. This is great for transgenesis -- we can put whatever we want in there. Usually it's a small number of plasmids, but in NeuroPAL, it's something like 41!

Our new paper in @agsjournal.bsky.social compares dementia end-of-life caregiving experiences. Labor of love to use poetic analysis in this secondary analysis of qualitative data, comparing #prion & #ADRD #dementia types, and develop a new conceptual model #hapc #neuropal

Hi! I am here for a bit: just got home after a fabulous dinner with UC #neuropal and #ALS/MND teams. So catching up

🎉 Really thrilled and excited to welcome the UCSD/Scripps Health Hospice and Palliative Medicine Fellowship Class of 2025! 🎉 IM, FM, EM, neuro stroke, and pulm crit represented!

bHLH genes have diverse roles during the development of the nervous system; this functional study of five #Celegans bHLH genes shows that some of them can regulate #neuropeptide secretion & significantly expand lifespan when mutated 🧪 @plosbiology.org plos.io/3W7OQMs

Lmao! I actually met with Nationwide Children’s PD but I would’ve had to add 3 extra years which sounded awful. So now my goal is to inherit complex neurodev kids transitioning to adult for neuropal care 💜

Having dinner with #neuropal crew from URMC this Wednesday: have fun! So glad to see everyone gather once again!

Such an honor to have contributed to this very important JAMA Neurology (@jama.com) special communication on the critical needs of #neuropalliative care research, among many dedicated colleagues. 🙏 A must read for all interested in #neuropal and #Neurology ! ➡️ ja.ma/4hlgKNL

Issue 13 is now complete!

Cover: The tail of a ceh-20 (Exd/Pbx1-4) C.elegans mutant. NeuroPAL shows all neuronal nuclei (coloured dots). Mig-13::GFP labels the cytoplasm and axo-dendritic projections of nerve cord motor neurons. See Prahlad et al.

underlying dynamical processes (oscillators) that, if they are synchronized with a motor plan oscillator, engage working memory - it is held even if the motor plan oscillator is disengaged from movement and is reengaged to orient the animal up the fictional, experimenter provided stimulus gradient.

We extend this practice by mapping physiology to MIDI

Think of it the way anatomists use pseudocolor mappings to uniquely identify different neurons' processes in space (e.g., this example from www.hobertlab.org/neuropal/)

We use MIDI pitch to uniquely identify different neurons' spikes in time

Unfortunate overall findings, but I see that #neuropal care successfully decreased ED visits and hospitalizations community-dwelling people with dementia
D-CARE and IN-PEACE randomized clinical trials for persons with dementia (JAMA 2025) - "Despite the disappointing results, we must continue to innovate and find ways to improve care because the challenges caused by dementia remain"

sleep and eating patterns, maladaptive explanatory styles, and gastrointestinal dysfunction. To bridge this gap in care and address these problems in a large-scale manner, we built NeuroPal, a large language model (LLM)-assistant that provides [2/8 of https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.06640v1]

Shout out to the Awesome worm community! We got a lot of strains from fellow worm labs in the past few months. Of course the NeuroPAL below is the most flashy looking, but we are grateful for all the support from the community. https://x.com/MPINB_caesar/status/1240919886060191748
