Homeostatic #plasticity mechanisms that reduce cortical activity following overstimulation are dysregulated later in life, such that overstimulation results in synaptic strengthening, elevated activity, and cognitive impairment Carola Radulescu et al. nature.com/articles/s4159…
Hot off the press! It is great a pleasure and honour to collaborate with such a fantastic group to explore new faces of the clock. It ticks everywhere, how do we harness it for therapy?

Scientists Imperial Department of Brain Sciences have discovered that the circadian clock regulates axonal regeneration and repair. These findings pave the way for the use of clock-associated therapies and timed neurorehabilitation for people with nerve damage 🕰️
Current starting point for postdoc salaries University of Oxford just over £36k - £2.7K under threshold. According to The Royal Society 62% of postdocs are non-UK nationals (5/6 in my lab). Two things: (i) postdocs are underpaid; (ii) UK science is screwed royalsociety.org/-/media/policy…
