Proud of our eLife paper where we use an integrated ephys and Ca2+ imaging scope, to record the activity of cerebellar and anterior cingulate neurons during social interaction. Kudos to Sung Won Hur and Karen Safaryan who led this project. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal
Congratulations to The Brain Prize winners 2024: Larry Abbott, @Sejnowski, and Haim Sompolinsky They have pioneered the field of computational and theoretical neuroscience and have made seminal contributions to our understanding of the principles that govern the brain’s
NEW PREPRINT! Led by Susie Yu Feng, we characterized memory impairment and entorhinal-hippocampal desynchronization in epileptic mice. We found early hippocampal deficits and late-onset MEC deficits that emerged with progressively worse cognitive impairment. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
So grateful to have Brain Canada and Azrieli Foundation support my very first steps in establishing my research into how voltage imaging can literally shed light on schizophrenia-driven misfiring of neurons.
I have followed the development of this amazing 2P miniscope from Day1 by Blake Madruga’s tireless efforts and constant drive for innovation. This is an incredible technological feat.
So stoked to finally have lab meetings with the new team! It still blows my mind that I am actually running a lab now The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) ! Like with students and postdocs and all! Crazy!
So fun hosting my UCLA mentor Peyman Golshani at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and hanging out with Katrina Choe. Feels like full circle to make the introductions for your old boss instead of the other way around.
Third day undercover at #ISOT2024, they still havent found out i dont really work on olfaction... Huge thanks to rodriguez-carleton-labs for inviting me to their great symposium with Izumi Fukunaga and Nixon Abraham. And special thanks to Iceland for being so majestic! ISOT2024-Reykjavik
First 2 posters of the Taxidis lab went up at the The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) Summer Research (SSuRe) Symposium! Such a joy mentoring Felicia Liu (NSERC / CRSNG USRA awardee) + Ron Reitman (UROP awardee) over the summer. Both super productive! Summer students can really make a difference! 🙏
Awesome talk by Mark Brandon, PhD. yesterday on head direction cells, Alzheimer’s and much more. It was a great pleasure hosting him for the U of T Physiology seminar series.
