We had a great time walking together to #ENDALZ 💜 in Hermosa Beach this past weekend ✌️🌷 Thanks to our faculty, staff, and students who participated, and thanks to Alzheimer's Association for bringing so many people together 🤝🧠

If you missed us at #SfN2023, check out Katy Pannoni's #tweetprint of the labs recent preprint demonstrating a role for the mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU) in LTP 🔥🔥 Here I will elaborate a bit on the backstory of how this fun adventure started👇#mitochondria #keepCA2weird

Data from 56 different species sheds light on the diversity and evolution of cerebellar folding in mammals. elifesciences.org/articles/85907…

This is a landmark achievement that will open the door for many future investigations of the brain’s function, development and evolution. Congrats to everyone who has contributed to this monumental effort. Big thanks to the NIH #studyBRAIN Initiative for supporting this project.

Celebrating another successful and fun year for our lab! 🧠🧪🧬 🎉 Needless to say, our brain holiday model took the cake in this year’s contest! 🐀🎉

Congrats Maricarmen Pachicano !

Cerebellar regions interconnected with the prefrontal cortex play a causal role in reward-based learning of visuomotor associations! Collaborative work with Naveen Sendhilnathan, Michael E. Goldberg, and Peter Strick University of Pittsburgh Brain Institute. Out in Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

#AAIC2024 starts today! Check out our lab’s poster presentations: Terri Stephen online, Bayla Breningstall today, Maricarmen Pachicano Tuesday, Zion Smith Wednesday!

🎉NIIN alumni Jared Simmons ('22) and Yiwen Zhou ('24) both spontaneously showed their NIIN pride at work today in USC's Center for Integrative Connectomics 🐭 🧠

🎉 Congrats to all of the Art at AAIC award winners, with a special shout out to NIIN alum, Paige Logan and Dr. Tyler Ard, who is faculty at our institute! 👏 Paige L 🧠 Tyler Ard Lab of Neuro Imaging

Excited to be working with Bryan William Jones on a new collaborative R01 project! Lab of Neuro Imaging

NIIN student, Zhelin, talks about his work in Dr. Mike Bienkowski’s lab Michael S Bienkowski, where he explores brain connectivity in mice. He discusses how the NIIN program blends his technical background with neuroscience & his goal to study detailed neuron function. 👁️⬇️ Lab of Neuro Imaging

✨NIIN research in the Bienkowski lab! Jared Simmons (’22), Yiwen Zhou (’24) & Zhelin Cao (’25) work on a retina stimulation project & Rebecca Hernandez (’25) studies the degenerative morphology of neurons in Alzheimer's disease using high-resolution 3D digital reconstruction👁️🧠
