Come join us!! Fully-funded #neuroimmunology PhD in our lab available from autumn 2024. Exciting project, with colleagues UK Dementia Research Institute Edinburgh Neuroscience studying how chronic immune cell changes are controlled in brain disease.

#Day1 of #AstrocyteCafe2024 went fast! Thanks to the amazing speakers of the session 1: Carmen Dr. Carmen Falcone, Riccardo Riccardo Bocchi, Katarzyna, Łukasz, Alessia Alessia Soldano_ Soldano lab and Maria Joao. And of course thanks to Alexej Verkhratsky for such a fun roundtable, we loved it!😍

Thanks again to our amazing sponsors Axion BioSystems, BraYn Association, Clinisciences, Synaptic Systems, 3Brain, Prodottigianni, Sequentia, and to Kernel-Science for the logistics 😍 #AstrocyteCafe2024

Loved every second of this conference with this fantastic bunch, hopefully see everyone again soon!

Attending British Microcirc. & Vascular Biology Society in Bristol? Stop by to see my poster on blood spinal cord barrier compromise in spinal muscular atrophy at lunchtime today! 👩‍🔬🧠 🔬 Parson Lab Simon H Parson #SMA #vascularpathology

Does anyone have protocols/best practices for analyzing whole-plasmid sequencing? (pls rt)

🚨Postdoc opening in the lab!!! If you are interested in dissecting the peripheral and spinal circuits involved in chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, email me your CV, cover letter, and references as one pdf file. Deadline 31 August 2024!

Wonderful new paper by Simon Sharples and the gang!

Waiting for exciting stories to be compiled in this nice special issue at Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience... Want to contribute? Contact me!

Today marks the official end of my PhD journey with the publication of the last of my work done in Gareth Miles . We looked at an idea of developmental excitatory : inhibitory synaptic biases underlying early ALS pathology. Thanks to all who supported me! doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Neat wee study in which we confirm that somatostatin interneurons in the dentate gyrus activate GABAB receptors on granule cells and perforant path terminals. Not only that, but the GABA they release appears to be regulated only by neuronal uptake! eneuro.org/content/early/…

I'm fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support. Check out my JustGiving page and please donate if you can. Thank you! #JustGiving justgiving.com/fundraising/Tr…

Does anyone have (or know of someone else who has) access to human #ALS muscle biopsy samples? We have a very cool paper nearly ready for submission, but would love to validate our findings in some patient material (hopefully a quick and easy experiment!) 🤞🤞🤞 Please RT

Interested in synaptic neuroscience? We have an open PhD student position for exploring how rapid remodelling of astrocytes controls excitory synapse function and their plasticity. Further details on the project and the position can be found here: tinyurl.com/yucjmfsu

It's a start! Multiplexed high-res imaging of 5 synapse markers in mouse spinal cord aligned across 2 rounds of labelling (PSD95-green, Gephyrin-yellow, VGLUT1-blue, GAD65-cyan, Synapsin-magenta). Lets see how many more I can add! Thanks to Tenovus Scotland & Synaptic Systems

Exciting discovery: CSF flow isn't confined to the brain and spinal cord—it also extends to peripheral nerves! Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Groundbreaking research from UF Health FLORIDA #neurotwitter #neuroscience #AcademicChatter

Exciting job offer at UCL Brain Sciences #scicomm

📣Call for papers for new JournalofMicroscopy special issue! The Journal is pleased to announce a new special issue featuring papers on "AI in Imaging". The issue will be guest edited by Peter Soar, Tuan Nguyen and Gianluca Tozzi. rms.org.uk/library/journa…

🚨These fellowships are great! if you are an ECR, have a question you would like to pursue and a collaborator in mind, go for it! It can really be a transformative experience.

How a crying baby is similar to denoising an ephys rig: 1) There's noise and you don't know why 2) You need to stay grounded 3) You have superstitious beliefs about what actions stop the noise 4) These actions work sometimes but not always 5) The noise can randomly start again
