This is super-interesting! What happens in non-arousal activity state shifts (eg reward)? How do populations relate to neurotransmitters produced in different cells? Can this explain why we see lower NVC in the hippocampus? (poss yes but doesn’t account for different capillary level responses).

Thanks!!

🙋‍♀️Am now in the DRI at UCL and the Centre for Vascular Dementia Research.

Can’t wait!!

A group of people chat science and eat cake under banners celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Physiological Society. One person is wearing a branded party hat.

Jolly fun 150th @physoc.bsky.social birthday “lab lunch” with @sussexneuro.bsky.social - chat, community and research - all the good stuff!!

Congratulations @lewisholt.bsky.social !!!

Rory’s a true highlight of the morning. Inspirational, entertaining and sobering about how much we need to do as a research community.

Publishing in the Physiological Society’s family journals supports the future of physiology. To tell us more about research and the latest journal news, our Editors-in-Chief take to the stage for the In Conversation session at our Member Forum.

UCL – University College London UCL is consistently ranked as one of the top ten universities in the world (QS World University Rankings 2010-2022) and is No.2 in the UK for research power (Research Excellence Framework 2021).

I'm hiring! Come and work with me at UCL to try and understand how the brain's blood vessels go wrong and promote dementia: www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

Heeeeheeeeee

Oooooooooioooooh

Ooh go on Scotland! Noooooooo

The vascular contribution to cognitive decline in ageing and dementia - Nature Reviews Neuroscience Growing evidence suggests that reduced cerebral blood flow contributes to cognitive decline in ageing and dementia. Attwell and colleagues discuss the underlying mechanisms and functional consequences...

Delighted to share our latest review in Nature Reviews Neuroscience!
We examine the growing evidence that vascular dysfunction plays a key role in cognitive decline in ageing and dementia, and argue that preserving/restoring CBF should be central to future therapies.

Thanks Leon! Hope yours has gone well too?

Very excited that this is official now! Lots of setting up currently but will be recruiting soon!!

- from the best stats analysis to the coolest talk at a conference to AI to skills they've developed. These folks are exciting and excited!

I'm collating slides for our collaborator group lab Summer Symposium tomorrow. The brief is "cool things you learnt over the last year" and I cannot over-emphasise how optimistic I am about the future of science with this bunch of trainees' contributions!

Toooooooooon!

Ooh this sounds Amazing!!!!

Whoop! Fab news!

Me! But you/ UK Glia should do a starter pack!

@physoc.bsky.social has a starter pack of physiologists. Hooray!! go.bsky.app/2KU1XD6
