Annual NuBS Symposium held on 4th November 2023 Molecular Biophysics Unit, IISc

A gentle introduction to the enigmatic HCN channels, the ones that have had a long history with our laboratory! Proud that this will be part of a special issue that will commemorate the centenary of Prof. GN Ramachandran, the founder of our department! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pr…

Open Day 2024 is here! ✨ 🏃‍♂️Visit our lush green campus on February 24th between 9 am to 5 pm to learn about the exciting research and activities happening here. 📲 Use the hashtag #IIScOpenDay2024 to get a chance to be featured on our page Details: openday.iisc.ac.in/index.php

Preprint from our laboratory with work by Sanjna Kumari SANJNA demonstrates ion-channel degeneracy in a large morphologically realistic model population constrained by electrophysiological measurements from our lab in rat hippocampal granule cells (1/2)

Wonderful series of talks and great experience!

24 students, 15 speakers and 17 instructors worked (and partied) together for 3 weeks! I have learned a lot (and met super cool people!) Thank you! x.com/i/lists/177815… The CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme Bordeaux School Of Neuroscience 🧠 20/20

Network motifs in cellular neurophysiology Trends in Neurosciences Network motifs are useful in studying complex systems: transcription regulatory networks, networks of neurons, predator-prey interactions, social networks How about single neuron function? 1/ cell.com/trends/neurosc…

Did you know? LTP 50 last year is ALSO intrinsic plasticity 50! The first electrophysiological evidence for long-term synaptic plasticity is ALSO the first electrophysiological evidence for intrinsic plasticity. See abstract & explanations in the paper: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/jp…
