In case anyone was wondering (been 4 years since I last checked). Neurons do indeed still fire action potentials! 😛

You may be better than me at wordle, but my guess distribution is better than yours!

Me and Dr Soraya M 🦋(SorayaM) found a weird wordle-inspired board game in the shop today called "scrabble" 😮😮😮

Congrats Faye! Delighted to hear. Very much deserved!

If you’re interested in in vivo patch recordings in a model of Alzheimer’s to look at synaptic physiology, particularly E/I balance, then I have the poster for you. ✌🏽 S07-241. Come see me on Weds morning. #FENS2022 #FENSAmbassador

Welcome to the Imposter's Math Biology Podcast! A channel dedicated to providing gentle introductions to the many topics in maths biology. I would be so thankful if you would take a look, like, subscribe, collaborate on a topic with me, tell people, etc: youtu.be/PHgekrkka1U.

Our paper is now officially out in Brain where we provide a proof-of-principle for how to study the impact of monogenic epilepsies on early human cortical development #STXBP1 Anna Dimtsi Amy Marshall David Lewis-Smith Rhys Thomas academic.oup.com/brain/advance-…

Can confirm that Devon is a lovely part of the world to patch neurons

Post-Doc position at U of Bristol to work with Ben Evans, Dan Goodman and me exploring the multiple loci of learning and computation in spiking neural networks. See: jobs.ac.uk/job/CWE332/sen… Ben Evans Dan Goodman

Looking for a postdoc to work with us in beautiful Edinburgh to uncover the computational role of locus coeruleus in predictive learning! Using in vivo recordings, optogenetics, and virtual reality. If you know anyone who may be interested, pass it on! jobs.ac.uk/job/CYP064/pos…

We have an opening for a PhD student! Using multiple optical and electrophysiology methods to compare catecholamine systems' roles in learning. Please share! (deadline 5th June) findaphd.com/phds/project/c…

So finally my first ever (!!!) first author is out into the world of BioRxiv summarising my PhD work - Synaptic alterations associated with disrupted sensory encoding in a mouse model of tauopathy. Twitter 🧵 below biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Got my first acute human whole-cell recording today! Took a while but finally found one 😂😠 First cell down, many more to come… #AcademicChatter #ephys

Dr Soraya M 🦋(SorayaM) delivered an awesome talk at the Research at ARUK conference this afternoon on her joint work with Robert McGeachan in @ClaireDurrant1 's lab. Check out the preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

‘Just kept the ones we need’ Love this guy x.com/Luiseach/statu…

Very excited to begin work on a new project investigating the butt-brain axis 🍑🔁🧠. It turns out the butt and brain are strongly and reciprocally connected by “nerves”. So what goes on in the butt can affect every aspect of brain function.

So... overtrained in one specific area and unable to generalise...?

Typical development of synaptic and neuronal properties can proceed without microglia biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Thrilled to share our latest work as co-first author! Could synaptic pruning involve non-microglial cells? How do other cell types compensate in the absence of microglia? This study opens the door to exciting questions yet to be explored.
