Is any neuro PI willing to talk to me for 20 min and chat about NIH institutes and study sections for neuro research? Please DM me. Thank you!!

Who came up with the number 15% anyway?? It makes no sense and there is no justification on this number from NIH.

Differential encoding of mammalian proprioception by voltage-gated sodium channels Voltage-gated sodium channels differentially encode mammalian proprioception via distinct cellular localization patterns.

Thrilled to share the most recent pub from the Griffith Lab! We show that sodium channels play unique roles in proprioceptive encoding. We also found some really cool effects on skeletal muscle, and a dev dependent role for Nav1.6 in proprioceptive spinal circuits www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Synaptic basis of feature selectivity in hippocampal neurons - Nature A temporally asymmetric synaptic plasticity kernel results from bidirectional modifications of synaptic weights around the induction of a place field.

Delighted to highlight our new paper in
