Ascl1 modified at 6 sites to be phosphorylation-resistant leads to in vivo reprogramming of Astrocytes into PV+ fast-spiking neurons. (Also this is enhanced by co-expressing Bcl2).

"We discuss preclinical evidence related to both neuronal & nonneuronal mechanisms that may be involved, touching upon the relevance of #interneurons, neuropeptides, & specific synaptic mechanisms in translating gamma stimulation into widespread neuronal activity within the brain. We also explore the roles of #microglia, #astrocytes, & the vasculature in mediating the beneficial effects of gamma stimulation on #brain function. Lastly, we examine upcoming clinical trials"

thinking about making a set of dlx creOFF AAV constructs a la @JDimidschstein and @sohallab. before i do - has anyone got a stash? initially gfp / chr2 but also likely switch gfp/dtomato too. for some 'NOT x' experiments. would be nice if they already existed! #neuroscience #neuromethods #aav #mouse #interneurons HT @elduvelle for the hashtags!

@DrYohanJohn this is a great reference work I use in class! Does anyone out there have something more recent? That is, are there important revisions to this story that I should be teaching?

Also, should we not just cave and call them #inhibitory cells rather than #interneurons, given the importance of #gaba ergic projection neurons? (Not trolling the developmental people who see gaba excitation).
