Excited to announce that our paper on activity- and potassium-mediated metabolic coupling between oligodendrocytes and axons is now published @NatureNeuro congrats to Zoe Looser, @zainabfaik, the whole team and co-authors for this achievement!

You knock out #GLUT1 to impair astrocytic glucose uptake - only to find out that #astrocytes ramp up glycolysis and keep going. Metabolically resilient, and even neuroprotective.

New cover for Neuron!
🧠 Big Role of Tiny Blood Vessels🩸

Tiny vessels connecting arteries together can rescue brain after stroke!
@mohamad_elamki and @susewegener found out that in stroke patients and mice, these tiny vessels (collaterals) regulate reperfusion after stroke. By controlling blood flow recovery, collaterals play an important role to avoid deleterious and futile recanalization.
