Preprint from our laboratory! Through elaborate electrophysiological recordings and extensive analyses, Sanjna Kumari @2point0Sam unveils a dorsal-to-ventral increase in intrinsic excitability of dentate gyrus granule cells biorxiv.org/content/10.648…

I am presenting tomorrow at SfN 2025 18th November from 1.00- 5.00 PM. I would be glad to take you through the dorsoventral gradients in hippocampal properties! @SfNtweets @cnl_mbu_iisc

We are organizing a 2-day "AI in Biophysics" symposium from 28-29 April. We bring together leading experts to facilitate interdisciplinary and lively discussions. Website: sites.google.com/view/ai-in-bio… Poster abstract deadline: April 18 Registration deadline: April 24

April 6, 2025 is the new deadline for applying to join our department! @MBU_IISc @iiscbangalore

Thanks @MadOverDonuts for the reply!! Love for donuts❤️❤️🥰

@MadOverDonuts This came to me as a huge disappointment that you removed red velvet donuts. I am huge fan of your this particular donut. But sadly, the Orion mall, Bangalore outlet told me its discontinued. Why???? Please bring it back!🫶🏻

Yearly dose of departmental buzz! Looking forward for a great weekend! @MBU_IISc @cnl_mbu_iisc

Did you know? LTP 50 last year is ALSO intrinsic plasticity 50! The first electrophysiological evidence for long-term synaptic plasticity is ALSO the first electrophysiological evidence for intrinsic plasticity. See abstract & explanations in the paper: physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/jp…

Published version of the preprint now available! The link to the preprint thread is below. Congratulations Sanjna @2point0Sam!! Link: journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Network motifs in cellular neurophysiology @TrendsNeuro Network motifs are useful in studying complex systems: transcription regulatory networks, networks of neurons, predator-prey interactions, social networks How about single neuron function? 1/ cell.com/trends/neurosc…

24 students, 15 speakers and 17 instructors worked (and partied) together for 3 weeks! I have learned a lot (and met super cool people!) Thank you! twitter.com/i/lists/177815… @Cajal_Training @bdxneuroschool 20/20
