Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s Furukawa lab is studying an autoimmune disease called anti-NMDAR encephalitis in collaboration with Professor Christian Geis’ team at the University of Jena and the SYNABS research unit in Germany. Here, we see antibodies from a human anti-NMDAR encephalitis patient (purple) binding to NMDARs (green) in a mouse brain. Areas marked red indicate high levels of antibody binding. Additionally, the impact of these antibodies on memory could be assessed using a new system established in collaboration between Furukawa and colleagues at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience.
