Our last #BioRoom video is out, check it out here👇👇👇 youtube.com/watch?v=T4SbXa… Prof John S. Young shared the inspiring story of how he ended up doing his very cool research too! Thank you John for giving an amazing talk on a novel method for the detection of bladder disease 👏👏👏

#BitsofBrain While the Cerebellum is a structure present in all vertebrates, during apes evolution it increased in size at a rate similar or greater than the Neocortex. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28441555/

#BitsofBrain While cnidarian lack neuroglia, bylaterans have it. Most molecular markers used for recognising glia are still present in cnidarians, making their common ancestor speciazion the most likely milestone for glia evolution. pbrc.hawaii.edu/~danh/GliaEvol…

#BitsofBrain Marsupial brains are similar in structure to mammalian ones, having shared their evolution up to 166 mya. Notably, most marsupials have fewer social groups, sharing mostly feedign mobs organizations and mating pairing and harem groups. researchdirect.westernsydney.edu.au/islandora/obje…

Check out our latest #BioRoom talk🙌😊 #staytuned for our next edition!

Happy pride month to all of you!

Hello friends! Is there anyone of you who recently defended their PhD thesis and would like to share their experience? Contact Dr. Alexandrina Guran | @rinaguran.bsky.social to partecipate in the discussion!

It is kind of weird that for a lot of problems in academia the solution often revolves onto "make everything blind" #AcademicChatter

A visual accessibility thread. #DisabilityPrideMonth "we will think about accessibility options if there is a market request" is not a valid enough excuse.

Juicy #BitsofBrain for everyone! How old is neurosurgery? Tip: is way older than universities teaching it today.

#BitsofBrain When do we start to like different smells? Current research in olfaction is prone to consider how our brains to not be necessarily hardwired to like or dislike odors, but rather they are capable of associating emotions to smells.

Peripheric inputs travel to the brain stem and the thalamus maintaining their tropism all along to the cortex.

Hello peeps, here's another #BitsofBrain about a strange thing that can happen to our eyes. Have you ever experienced seeing fast-moving dots appearing and disappearing from our field of vision? gif credit: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_fiel…

Hello friends, time for another round of #BitsofBrain. Some time ago I talked about how fast can neurogenesis be, and how many neurons can be made in a very short time in developing humans. Today I want to talk instead of how snail-crawlingly slow it can be.

In comparison, mice pregnancy lasts about 19 days only and adults have approximatively similar weights (20 gr), and their brains are also very similar in structure and size pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29136119/#&gid…

I am looking for a postdoc and a tech/lab manager to work on #astrocyte #evolution in my new research group starting next year SISSA in the beautiful Trieste 🤩 All details below👇 Contact me if you're interested! OpenAcademics Academic Chatter™ neuro rumblr Academic Mom, PhD

One year ago we were at the 2nd Edition of BioRoom 2020. Mariana R. P. Alves (she/her/ela/a) was representing Native Scientists in a session about organizing outreach events. #NativeScientist #webinar #Science #Language #Outreach #childrenbooks

"I'm a bit ashamed to admit this, but I was trying to hide the fact that I came from Lebanon." 2021 medicine laureate Ardem Patapoutian (Ardem Patapoutian) shares his personal story of inclusion and how proud he is of his background (something that hasn't always been the case).
