Our super exciting group of PI speakers features Tuan Trang as our keynote, along with Bénédicte Amilhon @arrudacarvalho.bsky.social @caromenard666.bsky.social @zachtpennington.bsky.social Anna Phan @rrrozeske.bsky.social and Stuart Trenholm. Registration details to follow in the coming weeks!

Save the date for the annual "Neural Circuits and Behaviour" satellite conference at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience annual meeting, cohosted by @franklandlab.bsky.social and myself on May 18, 2026. We have a great speaker lineup and will be selecting 4 trainees talks from our registrants!

congratulations keri!! wonderful news

this is an absolutely fantastic review at the interface of emerging biological principles, neuronal/network computation, and statistical physics (among other disciplines). huge congrats to @rgast.bsky.social and co-authors for this great cross-disciplinary synthesis for the field

With many new neurotechnologies, only about five percent of experiments yield significant results.

excited to have you make it official!! happy holidays milan

congrats matt!!

Scientific program chairs @rcbagot.bsky.social and @markcembrowski.bsky.social have put together a great program: can-acn.org/meeting-2026... - Now is your chance to contribute also!

Molecular mechanisms mediating engram ensemble retrievability state in mice Engrams, ensembles of neurons that store memories, exist along a continuum of retrievability. Normally, sensory cues can reactivate a latent engram to…

Excited to share the latest from the lab on the molecular mechanisms of silencing and un-silencing a hippocampal engram ensemble. Was fun using a variant of the EPSILON technique developed by Adam Cohen's lab.

Join Riya from @markcembrowski.bsky.social's lab for a look at a day in the life of a @sbmeubc.bsky.social Synergy Research Program student!

This summer, she studied the hippocampal-amygdaloid transition area (HATA), a brain region that may play a role in major depressive disorder.

Our department at The University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada) is running two faculty searches. One is a joint hire with the Institute for Healthy Aging, one a cohire with the Math Dept cps.med.ubc.ca/careers-2/ Click on “Faculty Positions” on the page. Please help spread the word!

holy smokes you and @hiallen72.bsky.social synced up?? worlds are colliding here

congrats anna!! big mileston

Happy 107th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

congratulations to all the graduate program in neuroscience awardees, including our lab's own regan campbell and margarita kapustina!!

What’s better than a one-channel #Miniscope? 🥁 A TWO-CHANNEL Miniscope!

Our new Miniscope2C is a dual-channel, open-source Miniscope that lets you record 2 fluorescent signals simultaneously in freely moving animals.

cc @adriennekinman.bsky.social -- amazing!

Meet Canada’s next generation of researchers They’re still early in their careers, but making breakthroughs in health and medicine

@ubcmedicine.bsky.social PhD student Adrienne Kinman was profiled by the @theglobeandmail.com as one of Canada's next generation of researchers making breakthroughs in health and medicine:

congratulations!!! uutah neuro is amazing!

I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.
