Fantastic end to 2019 and looking forward to new opportunities in 2020. Neuromorphic technology based on new physics - Oxford University Innovation Oxford University Innovation innovation.ox.ac.uk/licence-detail…

In the acoustic framework, it's the compressibility (fluctuations) that corresponds to channel activity and not the tension. Hypothesis is: Tension induces change in compressibility and hence function. New work from Martinac group lays it out perfectly biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Kang et.al. observe heat and cold block for all-or-none solitary waves in a pure lipid interface, as predicted previously. link.springer.com/article/10.114… Should remove the misconceptions that phase transitions can't explain temperature dependence of nerve impulse 1/n

Have you heard ‘Sound Of Neuron’? Compression waves in a single-molecule thin film of fat are probably like the sound neurons make every time they fire. #MysterySoundMonday ! #IYS2020 soundcloud.com/user6148468/so… Acoustical Society of America

#mechanobiology workshop at IBEC with Escola Ipse thanks to Gerardo Ceada & Helena Lozano👩‍🔬👨‍🔬students have created a cell membrane model with soap 🧼 a visual way to show membrane protein transport and also explored how cells exert forces and measured them

A must-read case study for anyone who is pushing for ideas that go against the mainstream "Superconductivity, what the H? The emperor has no clothes" arxiv.org/abs/2001.09496

Mechanocontrol IBEC Escola Ipse Gerardo Ceada Helena Lozano @FETFX_EU European Innovation Council Neurons of Potential did this same thing in Oxford! 👨🏽‍🔬🧼

A sound wave is a constant entropy process. So I find it quite amusing that we feel so comfortable with with one concept but not the other. Maybe we overestimate our understanding of what is a sound wave, because we are so familiar with them we just don't think about them much?

Nice to see popular interest in the topic youtube.com/watch?v=LdGMDU…

Nice work from Pollack's group "We show that the gel barrier is able to maintain a stable separation of ionic solutions of different ionic strengths and chemical compositions without any pumping activity." pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

So excited that this book is out , an extensive compilation of the papers published by Hodgkin and Huxley . Already bought it 😍 should be a must read for anyone doing electrophysiology press.princeton.edu/books/paperbac…

If only I could show Doctor Langmuir the amazing shock waves that we discovered in these single-molecule thin films ;) and talk about their relation to signalling in neurons!

Had a great time sharing "The secret behind neuron’s energy efficiency" OsloMet AI Lab monthly meeting. Thanks Kristine Heiney, PhD Stefano Nichele for the invitation. Glad that renewed interest in Brain's computing efficiency has made the thermodynamic contradictions in neuroscience exigent.

"In an unexpected twist in neuroscience dogma, the cells on the receiving end of neurotransmission appear to be able to release glutamate to regulate the transmitting cell’s activity."
