#Hippocampus #Ripples - aren’t they the best? (with sound)
Notice how most of them show a positive deflection (positive Sharp-Wave) while the tetrode at the bottom right shows a negative SW, because it’s been moved past the CA1 cell layer!
(Data shown is from 16 #Tetrodes aimed at dorsal CA1, arranged in moveable bundles indicated by the colour)

"The recognition that failure needs to be normalized for postdocs and PhD students has gained traction over the past decade, with highly successful scientists and researchers publishing their ‘CVs of failure’."

"In this study, we provide a more comprehensive understanding of the relationship among these cellular subsets, uncover a novel homeostatic function in human NK cells, and illuminate how HIV-1 infection disrupts these cellular subsets and their functions"

'It’s interesting that psychiatric hospitals are used as a cliche for “a situation of total chaos” – I think I’ve already mentioned the time when the director of a psych hospital I worked at told us, apparently without conscious awareness or irony, that if Obamacare passed our hospital would have too many patients and “the place would turn into a madhouse”.'

'Virus-based vectors — particularly those based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) and lentiviruses — have dominated the first wave of gene therapies to gain regulatory approval. But their widespread deployment in dozens of clinical trials has exposed their limitations.'

Hi there! Finally made the journey over from Twitter. Im going to reintroduce myself in hopes of expanding my network on here!

My name is Sami and im a neuroscientist. My graduate research helped characterise how S1 neuronal network communication becomes altered with aging, is sexually dimorphic, and how these changes can influence gait.

I just started as an assistant professor at Colorado State University, where I teach neuro, phys, and pharm for veterinary medicine and undergrad students. ♥️

#Introduction

I am a Canadian ecologist, based in #Ontario with a focus on wildlife ecology and evolution, including:

( hoping a late #introduction is better than none
at all! )

Hi everyone,

I'm Sarah, a #chemistry prof at Hanover College in Indiana. My PhD work was in #membrane #protein #massspectrometry and now I've got a special interest in anything #neuro related! I teach an entire course on the biochemistry of psychoactive drugs and I'm still trying to get into research in that field because its super interesting to me! In the mean time I'm doing some #lcms of #cannabinoids and focusing on teaching.

Migrating to this server is a time for an #introducion !
I’m a PhD student working with @steveroyle, currently trying to make sense of different small transport vesicle populations that we affectionately call “molecular Skittles flavours” 🌈
I’m interested in all things #MembraneTrafficking and want to better understand the dynamic + self-organising properties of our cells’ endomembrane system as I continue my journey in #science 👩🏼‍🔬
I’m a night owl 🦉who’s happiest in the dark of microscopy rooms 🔬

Our latest research on plant - #nematode interactions is posted on #bioRxiv.
We show the early stages of compatible interactions between Zea mays and #Meloidogyne arenaria.
Thanks to all involved, especially lead author - Arnika Przybylska #proteomics #plantproteome #science #molecularbiology #plantscience

“Since its founding in 2021, Moms for Liberty has become the most notorious and prolific political organization pushing for book bans at schools and libraries across the country.

“What Moms for Liberty isn’t doing is advocacy—it’s a takeover,” said Emily Amick, an attorney, social media influencer, and founder of political change nonprofit For Facts Sake. “I want to push you to think bigger about what we’re up against and how to fight it.””

Hi Fedipeople,
Do you know examples of **great coincidences** in History?

I am looking for some examples, to compare them to a statement I just read, saying that a natural origin of Covid, while Wuhan hosts a lab working on coronaviruses, "would be the greatest coincidence in the history of the world"

Please boost -- thanks!

'But the 25-year bet, at least, has been resolved: No one has found a clear neural correlate of consciousness. Dr. Koch ended the evening by carrying to the stage a wooden box full of wine. He pulled out a 1978 bottle of Madeira and gave it to Dr Chalmers.'

'Even while I was saying that, though, it wasn't quite accurate - I mean, amphetamine (for one) definitely suppresses feeding behavior, just at a rather unacceptable cost in side effects. But for many years, that was the choice: a long list of things that didn't work, or a very short list of things that did but caused serious trouble along the way. The GLP-1 agonists are the first pharmacological class that seems to be breaking out of that dichotomy.'

'Bennett said the goal is to build a preclinical data package that shows efficacy across orthopoxviruses, which include mpox and smallpox, and then generate "robust" phase 1/2 data to inform dose selection and eventually licensure.'
