Great to see the work of Assoc Prof Jennifer Rodger and the Brain Plasticity Research Group at #MSResearchConf2023, MS Australia UWA UWA Research

Did anyone else get this on Spotify wrapped?

Maitri Tomar, a PhD student in the Brain Plasticity Research Group at UWA|Perron Institute, with her poster "Manipulating critical period plasticity with non-invasive brain stimulation" at the Australian Neuroscience Society Conference in Brisbane this week. #ANS2023

Thrilled to have been able to share my PhD work and our Fred Meunier research at Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS)’s Excitability Symposium today! Thank you to Dr. Rachel Gormal and Dr Nela Durisic for facilitating a great symposium! Queensland Brain Institute, UQ ANS Students Australasian Neuroscience Society

Happy holidays from the Brain Plasticity Lab ✨

Celebrating our first year as a lab with good friends. Finished the year off strong with a win at darts and promotion to senior lecturer. Looking forward to sharing what Emily King, Rebecca Ong and I have been working on in 2024.

We were delighted to welcome the Little Telethon Stars and their families for a visit yesterday for some fun neuroscience activities, followed by a Tour of the Labs and morning tea.

Incredibly thankful for this Award and for the opportunity of presenting our work on the 'Excellent Paper in Neuroscience' special lecture at FENS 2024! Shoutout to all the co-authors at Planar Polarity Team for their huge work.

Excited to share our latest manuscript where we show static magnetic stimulation can drive structural AIS plasticity in inhibitory neurons in vitro. Alex Tang UWA Research Perron Institute nature.com/articles/s4159…

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position with the Glial Research Team in Hobart, Australia. Please apply online by following this link. careers.utas.edu.au/en/job/499619/…

Excited to share my first publication! We show that non-severe thermal burn injuries leads to long-lasting gene expression changes in specific cell types in the brain 🔥🧠 Alex Tang UWA Research Perron Institute Australian Rotary Health frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Last week I had the opportunity to pitch my research on circadian rhythms and lung development 🕙🫁 - I'm extremely grateful to Helping Little Hands for supporting my award!

Unlocking the mysteries of neuronal communication! 💡Our new research sheds light on reserve synaptic vesicle dynamics, spotlighting Synapsin 2a’s crucial role. #NeuroScience #SynapticVesicles #BrainResearch Fred Meunier 🌟🔬Read more: rdcu.be/dA1ux

#QBI researcher @ShanLongfield from the Fred Meunier has revealed the pivotal role of Synapsin 2a proteins in orchestrating the organisation and mobility of synaptic vesicles within live neurons. 🔗bit.ly/4akbhCL #UQ #brain #research #science #news

Ending the week with microscopy for one of our axon initial segment plasticity projects. Thanks AxonalPlasticityLab and Paul Jenkins for the AnkG-GFP line, they’re doing very well in Australia 😎

Thrilled to be in Fukuoka for Japan Neuro24 🇯🇵. Rebecca Ong will show her mapping of the molecular mechanisms of rTMS.Emily King will show her work on AIS plasticity after stroke. Andreas Vlachos and I will share our work on the different plasticity mechanisms of rTMS

Very happy to share the latest publication from our Translational Brain Plasticity Lab re promising use of therapeutic ultrasound to treat Basal Ganglia disorders International Basal Ganglia Society frontiersin.org/journals/neuro…

New preprint from the lab on one of our axon initial segment projects led by Emily King. Together with John Reynolds we investigated whether stroke injury leads to long lasting changes in AIS structure and function, and intrinsic excitability. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Results of a recently published study could help clinicians make better informed decisions on the use of non-invasive brain stimulation to treat symptoms in depression and some other neurological disorders. ow.ly/Kxu950UKNcT
