Glia gang, this is for you!
In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, shows a pyramidal neuron (PyC) surrounded by 8 glia brain cells – 5 microglia (MG) and 3 oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPC).

“Cognitive psychology has shown that students grow intellectually through doing the work of drafting, revising, failing, trying again, grappling with confusion and revising weak arguments. This is the work of learning how to learn.”

#JNeurosci: In a rat model of chronic pain, Ball et al. found that activating the CGIC–SI pathway increases touch sensitivity and dorsal horn excitability, whereas inhibiting the pathway reverses neuropathic pain.

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!
See you soon!
Such important work, Marija!
Extremely excited & proud to share our new preprint - we provide for the first time a single cell map of the mouse brain across sex, the estrous cycle, and peripartum! Data are 🔥 👇
"Single-cell map of the female brain across reproductive transitions"

Come work with us. Huge strengths in MRI, neuroscience and musculoskeletal health and their intersections such as pain, child development or ageing. Preclinical and clinical research and translation are also big opportunities. Shoot me a note if you have questions.
Join us at CAN for genomic fun!
GREAT opportunity for Canadian trainees:
FOUR talks at the Neural Circuits and Behaviour CAN satellite are reserved for trainees.
AND the best trainee talk wins a $500 prize (thanks to the Garry Hurvitz Centre for Brain & Mental Health).
REGISTER today and submit your proposed talk title.
Scientist position at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. We are looking for neuroscientists with interests in the molecular and cellular bases of cognition. The position is open-rank, and the successful candidate will also be appointed at U Toronto. Deadline is Feb 15th. Come join us!
Would love to be added if you don’t mind! Thank you!
I’m sorry, David. Hope it’s a speedy recovery ❤️💪
