biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Is there anything better than hearing about the dorsal-fan shaped body on a beautiful Saturday night? The answer is probably a massive yes, but I do not get to pick when #bioRxiv puts paper out. So here it is. I am so proud of all the people involved

Great talk this morning at #SONA 2024 by Nicolas Rouleau Wilfrid Laurier University challenging the neurocentric model of cognition using 3D bioengineering. Exciting work! NSERC / CRSNG

Graham Collingridge University of Toronto @#SONA 2024 drops nuggets of wisdom “It’s really important that you’re generating LTP in your synapses” “Because, if you don’t activate LTP, NMDA pathway will not inhibit LTD and you’ll lose your synapses” “#Alzheimers is really a balance of LTP and LTD”

Congratulations Euan Mortlock et al. Fantastic paper giving us a rare glimpse into the sleep behaviour of wild animals 👏 doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

Check out our new review about sensory coding in the fly mushroom body, with Moshe Parnas and Julia E. Manoim 🇺🇦🇮🇱 ! learnmem.cshlp.org/content/31/5/a…

My favorite line from our editorial "Overall, technological advances in neuroscience follow a repetitive pattern: If you wish to know where brain science in general will be in the future, you might look at what #Drosophila researchers are doing now." 🪰🧠😈💅

I’m happy to announce, my 2nd large PhD paper is now out in iScience! Cognition in ♂ and ♀ mice had interesting changes when we altered neuronal lactate metabolism. Check it out if you're interested in #lactate #brainmetabolism #aging #cognition #ANLS doi.org/10.1016/j.isci…

Join us! We have a collaborative and supportive neuroscience community SFU Psychology and SFU Institute for Neuroscience and Neurotechnology

The APL neuron is the longest cell in the fly connectome. There are only 2 in the brain. Each one is 20x longer than the fly's whole body and has well over 100,000 synapses. Explore the fantastic APL cell in Codex: codex.flywire.ai/app/cell_detai…

Did you know? Canada’s population of people aged 100 or older more than tripled between 2000 and 2023, up from 3,393 to 11,705. That makes centenarians the fastest growing age group in Canada. #NationalSeniorsDay

Big news! The fly connectome is featured on the cover of a special edition of Nature. This is all possible thanks to the collaboration of 292 members of The FlyWire Consortium! nature.com/immersive/d428… Check out the thread for an overview of the 9 #flywire papers published today

Here’s some eye candy - or should we say fly candy - for those of you who’ve stuck around to the end. Shoutout to Tyler Sloan Perception Amy Robinson Sterling who help us make all the gorgeous renders :)

Big day for neuroscience & the end of the beginning for whole brain connectomics. Shout out to Sven Dorkenwald and Philipp Schlegel, first authors of the connectome papers, Murthy Lab Sebastian Seung for establishing #flywire to make this possible and Davi Bock for birthing this dataset.

A prospective PhD student should look for a kind and understanding mentor, not necessarily the most brilliant one or someone working at a prestigious institution. A kind mentor will focus on your progress and work to uplift you.
