I was a co-investigator on one grant where 5/40 were funded (12.5%) and we were in the second bin (75-90%) with a 4.18 score.

My first PG submission went to a different panel and they funded 8/45 (17.7%), but with a 4.2 score, I was placed in the 4th bin (25-49%), even as an ECR. What??

🚨New lab publication is out!! 🚨

In this work we reveal that astrocytes, the most abundant glial cell type, are responsible for the effects of stress and that targeting these cells completely rescued the effects of stress on neuronal activity and behaviour!

Huge congrats to Lewis!!

We use an overhead camera mount rig to record 2 mice with dual recordings in each mouse. there are slotted holes for camera mounts and the fibers feed in through them quite well and keeps things from tangling. can also fit a webcam above the testing apparatus.

Increased excitability of dentate gyrus mossy cells occurs early in life in the Tg2576 model of Alzheimer’s disease - Alzheimer's Research & Therapy Background Hyperexcitability in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is proposed to emerge early and contribute to disease progression. The dentate gyrus (DG) and its primary cell type, granule cells (GCs) are im...
