Excited to share our latest in @currentbiology.bsky.social (they who publish the coolest papers!)

Memories are encoded by sparse neuronal ensembles (engrams). But most evidence comes from "simple" associative learning tasks. What about more integrative memories like spatial navigation?

#neuroskyence Help! Anyone know of a freezing stage microtome that is still in production? Leica and Epredia have both inexplicably discontinued their models 😢

Excited to share the latest one from the lab led by José Solano @jolusolo.bsky.social who explored how early life #stress impacts the mouse 🐭 brain 🧠 vasculature
Science 🧪🔬 can be surprising & 2x stress can induce beneficial adaptations leading to resilience, phew!

Yay!!!! Congrats Xiaoyun!!

Delighted to share our discoveries about one of the brain's neurotransmitter systems:

Together with colleagues at the @alleninstitute.org, we have learned a lot about a tiny cluster of neurons in the brainstem locus coeruleus (LC) that releases norepinephrine (NE). 1

Meet @zachtpennington.bsky.social, a new researcher at the DMCBH and @psych.ubc.ca who is exploring how the brain regulates stress and emotion. He is also an advocate of building open-source tools to make science more accessible for all.

Flexible ensheathment of axons enables myelination of complex CNS networks - Nature The rate of axon ensheathment varies within individual myelinating processes, resulting in chains of myelin sheaths connected by bridges consisting of thin cytoplasmic processes that provide&nbsp...

Latest offering. How myelin ensheathes axons!

Born from chat with Dwight Bergles on "weird things" we saw oligodendrocytes do, like making "bridges" between sheaths.

Driven forward by Cody Call, Kelly Monk, and myelin folks @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Enjoy!

Basolateral amygdala astrocytes encode anxiety states Ghenissa et al. provide evidence that basolateral amygdala astrocytes reliably encode anxiety states. Using simultaneous in vivo calcium recordings across an array of behavioral tasks, combined with g...

Thank you Yunlu!! Let me know if you ever want to commiserate about the chaos of this transition 🤪

Thank you Julie! It’s an honor and privilege to be a part of this group!!

Congratulations!!!

Neural Circuits and Behaviour CAN 2026 Satellite Meeting The third-annual CAN satellite event, bringing together Canadian neuroscientists studying circuits and behaviour.

Registration for the @canacn.bsky.social 2026 Neural Circuits and Behaviour satellite meeting is now live! Looking forward to hosting this event with @franklandlab.bsky.social again, and we're looking to have 4 trainee talks as part of the satellite. Register at www.eventbrite.com/e/1984146883...
