Had a wonderful time welcoming all the new first year #neuroscience grad students! Neuroscience @ UBC University of British Columbia Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health

The joys of moving the lab... 😄

Alzheimer's research is an important part of our work here at the Centre! Check out some projects our researchers are working on, ranging from the impact of exercise on AD to how motherhood affects cognitive health in the disease #WorldAlzheimersDay ow.ly/FyUC50BxhEU

Our PhD student Daniel learning the ins and outs of patching!

Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health Faculty Research Retreat ongoing. Very exciting to hear the overview by Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health director Lynn Raymond Lab

1/I am pleased to share our new preprint (bit.ly/2GO5GfL), wherein a talented pdf in the lab Edgar Bermudez, PhD 🏝 examined how patterns of cortical dynamics are modified by experience at different spacial (micro & mesoscale) & temporal scales CCBN @UofLArtsci CAN ACN

New openings for a research assistant and a post doctoral fellow in the area of neuroinflammation University of British Columbia Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health and UBC Pathology A unique opportunity to mix glial biology with immune processes relevant to multiple sclerosis & other neurodegenerative disorders.

Jane did a great job with her TEDx talk on citizen neuroscience today!

Our senior PhD student, Ellen, will be presenting her in vivo work at #SfNConnectome21 tomorrow! She is exploring how activity in the dorsal striatum correlates with motor learning and spontaneous behaviour, and how this is affected in HD mice.

Big congratulations to Cam Woodard for successfully completing his thesis and obtaining his PhD! 👏👏👏

We're working quickly to book vaccine appointments and have accelerated the call-in schedule. Please share the daily schedule and help someone in your community book their vaccine appointment. Please only call if it’s your turn! Learn more: gov.bc.ca/vaccine-appoin… #CovidBC

Congratulations to the team who made this possible, which includes several DMCBH members and our very own Lynn Raymond Lab !

Excited to share our latest paper - a 5-point manifesto for psychological care for people with #HuntingtonsDisease - out now as #OpenAccess in the Journal of Personalized Medicine: mdpi.com/1439242 HD is more than just a brain disorder, and our care needs to reflect this!

Fiber photometry experiments today - @MsEllenKoch is recording neural activity from spiny projection neurons in the dorsal striatum! The green is the direct pathway, and the red is the indirect pathway Tucker-Davis Technologies #neuroscience #NeuroTwitter

It was so fun to chat with Neuropsyched for this special A Month in Neurodegenerative Disease Research episode! If you're a researcher, or thinking about getting into research, this episode is for you! Tune in for useful tips and great conversation. #gradschool #NeuroTwitter #scicomm #neuroscience

Some of our latest work in collaboration with Tim Murphy and Majid Mohajerani explores cortical processing of sensory information in HD and reveals aberrantly increased activation in response to sensory stimulation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest publication investigates how cortical processing of sensory input is affected in HD mice! In collaboration with Majid Mohajerani and Tim Murphy. Read it here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
