Powerful experience attending @PCEM19

Oh nostalgia~

Can’t believe it’s already day 3 at #SfN19! Great to see the diversity of research going on in neuroscience. Also thanks to everyone that visited the BarabanLab posters...poster sessions are always better with good traffic and engaging conversations

Our recent studies, led by Aliesha Griffin, screening synthetic cannabinoids in #Dravet zebrafish was submitted for peer-review and uploaded as the first BarabanLab contribution to bioRxiv. Feedback welcome. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New paper by Bonnie Zhu (a technician! 😮) on transplanting interneurons for #TBI, #memory and #seizures is out today in Nature Communications! @UCIrvineSOM UCI Brain 🧠 UCI CNLM UCI Stem Cell nature.com/articles/s4146…

Neuronal ensembles revealed in epileptic Zebrafish 🤗

Leaps in gene sequencing and better animal models are changing how doctors understand, study, and sometimes treat epilepsy. fcld.ly/mvmeuki

Ever wondered how calcium imaging of seizure dynamics can inform EEG studies? Us too! Check out our mini review to find out more doi.org/10.1016/j.ejpn… From myself, 🧠🌹 ɌɨȼħȺɍđ Ɍøsȼħ 🌹🧠 @SamarutEric BarabanLab JinG Liu and CNDD| King's College Zebrafish Rock!

Epilepsy goes beyond of simply decreasing inhibition. 👉
