Last week we highlighted the 42 glia-focused talks at #FENS2026. But that's only part of the story!
More than 400 posters showcase the breadth of glia research. Thanks to Isabelle Arnoux, we've compiled them into one slideshow.

Chuffed to present our pre-print on Synaptopathy in a model of Sporadic ALS biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We find evidence of selective vulnerability of certain types of synaptic connections in spinal circuits, using high resolution fluorescence microscopy
I’m incredibly proud to have supervised this project, proud of the work of some fantastic (twitterless) students who made it all happen, and grateful for the support of @NCMlab and @MeehanLab

🚨The first #preprint of the #FalconeLab is OUT!🥹🚨
We found that varicose-projection astrocytes are not a physiological type of #astrocytes but they are rather associated with neuropathology.
Read more here, feedback is welcome!!
