Update: They removed it from the website, but said another researcher claimed authorship of the image. But I don't trust them, other scientists have their images stolen available on this website as well.

Not only my photos are being stolen now, people are selling them under someone else's name😡😡. I intentionally never sold my images for profit. Check the photos below. Mine is in the left, the stolen one in the right. Does someone knows how to sue them?

Did you know #LongCovid heavily impacts anesthesia response, and because of that, these patients need specific requirements and protocols before receiving anesthesia? Neither do I. Anesthesiologist and neurologist Tihamér Molnar described his research with Long Covid patients in Hungary.

Our meeting organizer, Marta Camici, doing a fantastic work seeing #LongCovid patients while also doing basic science exploring vagus nerve and mitochondrial dysfunction in Rome. Hearing the testimony of patients fully recovering after immunoglobulin treatment was beyond inspiring.

How immunity and endocrine factors shape sex differences in responses to SARS-CoV-2 and other viral infections, with @valentinodo.bsky.social from Belgium. How does exogenous hormonal treatment (trans, menopause, etc) interfere with #LongCovid response?

Finally met @buonsenso.bsky.social in person and got an update from one of the best researchers in #LongCovidKids. Kids with hypometabolism in the orbitofrontal cortex, the same region of the brain where I see the virus in the🔬. It is not even fully developed until we reach 25 years old..

There is a lot of good research and amazing people working on #LongCovid in Europe! Yes, the road is long, but after today, I feel my hope is restored. Some of my favorite moments from today's meeting at the National Institute for Infectious Diseases Lazzaro Spallanzani in Rome:

Airport time! Final touches on my slides and I am on my way to Rome for an exciting Long Covid meeting!

A little upset that I am not in San Diego to see my images in person, so I am just trying to find them online 👀

Badge pick-up with upside-down hippocampus!

Found this one :)

The Society for Neuroscience meeting starts tomorrow! I prepared some microscopy images for display at the convention center in San Diego. Let me know if you see one of my images around! 🤓 🔬 🧠

Join us tomorrow online at the Canadian Collaborative conference on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)! I will be talking a bit about Cognitive Dysfunction in ME and the lessons we have been learning from Long Covid research.

Brain microscopy with annotations for better understanding ☺️! What if we take a deep dive into the cerebral sulcus? The grey matter has the neurons' cell bodies🔵, and while microglia🟣are more evenly distributed, astrocytes🟡 shape changes in the white matter. #Neuroscience #Microscopy 🧠🔬

From the series of philosophical questions I ask myself every day:

More and more Neuroscience shows that building muscle makes your brain more resilient to adversity by improving its ability to handle stress. I decided to experiment on myself. 3 months of strength training 3-4 per week. Daily 2g of protein/kg and 10g of creatine. Never felt better 💪

When science and medicine work together to improve people's lives the results are so impressive 🤩! This is a deep-brain stimulation surgery to implant electrodes in specific areas of the brain that control movement, in this case, allowing a #Parkinson's patient to keep playing 🎼

Testing some new antibodies to identify oligodendrocytes 🟣, for me, the most difficult one to target in brain microscopy! Here I was able to identify its nuclei (oligo2 marker), not the whole cell body like neurons 🟡or microglia 🔵. Still, you can see oligos are everywhere! #Neuroscience #Microscopy

A single millennial with no kids is spending her money. Please take a look at my Kang and Kodos Halloween-approved new pair 👽😁

*The uninvited guest* (sound on this time!)
Third week of observing scary things under the microscope: watching #SARSCoV2🟣 positive cells arrive in the brain. Note it's still inside a blood vessel and being checked by astrocytes🟢and microglia🔵. What happens next? 😨 #FluorescenceFriday

Are you one of the 20.000 people who've registered for #SfN25, one of the world's largest science meetings? To make a statement about the importance of #NeuroCovid, my poster will be presented by the President of SfN😱, as I will be in Rome giving a talk on the same topic!

In a parallel universe, the iron throne belongs to the crazy cat lady. She is clearly tired and needs a break. She was married to Palpatine, but they have since separated and she kept the Praetorian Guard during the divorce. Kylo Ren is their only child. Night King plots revenge.

Viral trigger in Alzheimer’s disease is the real scary spooky #FluorescenceFriday.
Amyloid-β🟣 is an antimicrobial peptide that can be produced to trap pathogens in the brain. But it also induces an extensive neuroinflammatory response, as shown here with 🟠astrocytes. #NeuroCovid

"Nothing About Us Without Us".
I've been thinking about the title of this meeting and asking myself, why don't we hold more scientific meetings like this? The public brings the questions for the scientists, and we show them what we are doing to address it. #ME #MECFS
