#fluorescencefriday shows the intimate relationship between astrocytes, (cyan) microglia (green) and amyloid plaques (magenta). we find that in APOE4 mice there is much more glia associated with plaques.

Motor sequence learning involves better prediction of the next action and optimization of movement trajectories Learning new sequential movements is a fundamental skill for many animals. Motor sequence learning may arise from three distinct processes: (1) improved execution of individual movements independent o...

Careful dissection of motor sequence learning by @andpru.bsky.social and @mkashefi.bsky.social. In my humble opinion this should be an instant classic 😏.

Key Ozempic researcher says Canada is messing up science funding - The Logic Daniel Drucker, a Canadian researcher who made a major contribution to the development of Ozempic, says it is a “tragedy” that Canada exports so much research overseas

Canada has amazing scientific talent-the research sector deserves to be recognized and funded competitively to sustain and expand excellence and ensure scientific research continues to serve as an engine driving health and prosperity of the nation thelogic.co/news/ozempic...

#WIN staff will be there for this exciting day. Join us to learn about innovative research happening in the department of Clinical Neurological Sciences here at @westernu.bsky.social 👇👇

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Jibran Khokhar @drjkhokhar.bsky.social to our Editorial Board!!

Dr. Khokhar's research focuses on the mechanisms underlying co-occurring mental illness & substance use disorders, and assessing how long-term adolescent cannabis use might contribute to disease risk.

Please add me as well. Thanks!

100 percent correct on this. It’s nothing more than providing opportunities for insiders to short the markets. And crypto

Hey Canadian scientists 🧪 I'm doing a story on how the turmoil at NIH/NSF etc is affecting your work... funding, collaboration, other? DM if you'd like to talk about it.

Wow! Beautiful!

We are looking for motivated post docs. Projects on Alzheimer’s and Synucleinopathy. New mouse models, combined lightsheet/15.2T MRI and high throughput cognitive testing using touchscreens. Perfect for a recent graduate in Neurosciences or related field. Come work with us in 🇨🇦 👊😀🧪 please share.

Very cool - can’t wait to dig into these!

Fantastic Shannon. Love the engagement.

Perhaps we destabilize economies to drive the value of my new cryptoscam. Everyone wins right?

it's heeeeeeere!

lots of new features. some i especially like:

Proof-of-concept routines for fusing M/EEG and fMRI data under a unified physiological model, to investigate neurovascular coupling

fully accessible from the Python programming language

Docker and Singularity containers
