Today being Mothers Day & with all the buzz around mitochondria, be sure to thank your mother for (w/rare exception) all your mitochondrial genes. During fertilization the egg contributes to all or near all mitochondria in the zygote (the single cell result of sperm-egg fusion).

Brainstem roadmap

The Handbook of Ephys is out!! doi.org/10.1142/14331 "How to Patch a Cell"- a quick-start guide for people who are fresh to whole-cell patching. "Multiple Whole-Cell Recordings"- goes into details of obtaining quality recordings of dual- to 4-cell patch. Enjoy!😃

Groundbreaking research from Vivianne Tawfik, MD, PhD has uncovered how certain nerve cells, when injured or aging, turn into “zombie-like” cells. These cells don’t die, but they cause more pain and inflammation.

Getting ready for the CAN meeting in Toronto! 😄🧠 CAN ACN

We've set up a large colouring page!! For those CAN ACN meeting in Toronto - come by today and add some colour! 🎨

Thanks to everyone who has come by so far! So nice to connect and do some colouring too!🖍️🎨 CAN ACN

Another meditation neuron inspired by the The Neuron Family designs. I think it is my best one, yet. #zen #brain

Meditation neuron visits Toronto for the CAN ACN meeting 🧠 🇨🇦

Had a great time CAN ACN this year! 🧠 Thanks Ed the axon whisperer 🥼🧠🧬🔬 for this photo!

Microglia feet are highly dynamic and can be in contact with dense networks of axons. In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team using MICrONS data, a microglia (purple) contacts with an excitatory pyramidal neuron (gold). Slowly the axons under the feet are revealed.

Hello from Astrocyte - "I'm here to help!" ✨🧠

Our Dopamine Neuron 🎊 mug just dropped! Check out the collection available in Claudia Belliveau 's shop! 🧠 🍵 ✨😄 Please share - every purchase helps us create more neuroscience themed educational materials cbelliveauscience.com/collections/th…

Yoga Neuron - inspired by Purkinje cells of the cerebellum! 🧠😄✨🌿🍃🌱

“Neurons that FIRE together, WIRE together!” 🔥 This quote was coined by neuroscientist Carla Shatz, PhD and is based on a theory originally proposed by Donald Hebb, PhD - a psychologist who helped shape our understanding of how learning and memory work in the brain. 🧠⚡️

Included in this interview is that soon: all scientific papers that included tax dollars to complete the work will be accessible to the public at ZERO COST. This will completely change the journal model. Buckle up!
