It is not you
Nikon A1R Resonant Microscope needs your help at UdeM! The system is complete but for a few key missing parts. Nikon won't (really) assist, so we're seeking a technician/expert to help us identify and source components to get this running again for research. Know someone? Please connect us!
Out today in @science.org, we show wildfire disasters have surged in the last decade, as climate change intensifies fire weather and exacerbates other vulnerabilities.

This collection will explore the dynamic nature of synaptic plasticity from early brain development through aging and senescence, highlighting underlying mechanisms, compensatory processes, and age-related vulnerabilities.
Together with Drs. Guidi and Uguagliati, we are launching a Research Topic titled "Synaptic Plasticity Across the Lifespan: Mechanisms, Adaptation, and Vulnerability" in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience.

"The proposal would reduce the more than $47 billion budget of the NIH to $27 billion — a roughly 40 percent cut. It would consolidate NIH’s 27 institutes and centers into just eight."
Yup! Paired recording with a single pipette!
Organotypic slice can be... Weird
if any of you want to understand the depth of the attacks against american universities by the current administration and their ultimate goal, you have to watch this 👇
In my opinion, necessary to grasp the magnitude of the disaster we are facing: youtu.be/0FR65Cifnhw?...
I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Good Day. Good data. Good hockey.
What he said!
Almost all grant-review meetings under Trump 2.0 remain suspended at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), preventing the world’s largest public funder of biomedical research from spending much of its US$47 billion annual budget.

One solved, a thousand more to explore!
As a rule, cells that fire together wire together, but some synapses disobey this rule, notably hippocampal basket cells, BCs, have anti-Hebbian plasticity. We wondered if this was true in neocortex as well, and it turns out it is, suggesting a general principle! 🧪

As a former NSF program director, I find it difficult to put into words the extent to which the content and tone of this memo go against the grain of anything and everything that defines merit-based review at NSF.
The employers have always chosen fascism over the people.
I am super excited to share our article addressing a longstanding question in neurobiology: how Ca²⁺ signaling cascades initiated at dendritic spines operate at a distance. Check it out here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S... @cp-cell.bsky.social.
