The 5 pillars of NUGW's platform are based on the almost 2000 grad workers who responded to the 2022NU Grad Needs Survey. This platform will help guide our organizing but is just a starting point for what we can achieve through collective bargaining. #MorePayMoreSay #YesNUGW

Now hearing from Dr. Matthew Banks talking about data from Banks Lab from human and mouse psychedelic work. The data provide evidence for plasticity in the mechanism of psychedelic action!

Heading to #SfN2022 shortly, come by my poster (213.01) Sunday 1-5pm! I'll be sharing some of our data on K currents in inferior olivary neurons

*Peter working* Me: Hey Peter. … (approximately 3.5 seconds later) Peter: Sorry what was that? Besides being an absolute legend, your funny little quirks are what we will miss the most. It’s been an honour, chef. Below is a pic of Peter putting his wanker monitor to good use.

I’m glad to see Peter’s work from his time as a postbac published. He was so bright and we lost him much too soon. I can’t wait for everyone to see what he was working on in grad school. We’re so proud of you Peter 💜 nature.com/articles/s4146…

One day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.

The first cellular map of a mammalian brain is here. 🧠✨ Over 6 years and 32 million cells in the making, the complete adult mouse brain cell-type atlas reveals astonishing diversity and regional specificity. Dive deeper: alleninstitute.org/scientists-unv… @nature #studyBRAIN #BICCN

Neuroscience twitter: Al Quds university in Jerusalem is looking for Neuroscientists and Neurologists to deliver online lectures to their preclinical undergrads. This would be in late February/March. Dm me if you can teach any of the highlighted topics, or know someone who can.

I didn't exactly have a rosy view of the global system beforehand but the last three months have been very difficult to witness. I am hoping that in 2024, somehow, we can start to build a world that is more human

Very excited to publish part of my thesis work!!! Some evidence for plasticity and metaplasticity following psychedelic administration in an ex vivo model.

From an evolutionary perspective, what distinguishes the human brain? You may say, the neocortex. Surprisingly, in humans and other great apes, the expansion of the cerebellum accelerated faster than the enlargement of the cerebral cortex. cell.com/current-biolog…

My first first-author publication is out in Journal of Physiology ! Pyramidal cells in the subiculum are characterized by their distinct firing patterns. However, little is known about how inhibitory populations regulate their activity: 🧵👇 (1/5) physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP…

Do neurons organize the timing of their spikes, and not just their average firing rates, to convey information to their downstream targets? Spencer Brown presents new data in the cerebellum regarding synchrony among the interneurons.

High-speed voltage imaging of action potentials in molecular layer interneurons reveals sensory-driven synchrony that augments movement dlvr.it/TMSfXf

A new record on the number of simultaneously imaged neurons using our pAce voltage indicator (318!!) in awake cerebellum. Amazing work by collaborators Indira Raman and Spencer Brown!

Check out my recent paper in Cell Reports, where we optically recorded action potentials in vivo from up to 300 fast-spiking interneurons at 3–4 kHz, using state-of-the-art genetically encoded voltage indicators from St-Pierre Lab and Madhu Kannan, Ph.D., alongside advanced camera
