@Lab_Saghatelyan congrats Armen!!!

Happy to share our article in @NeuroCellPress We show how cilia beating of ependymal cells lining the walls of brain ventricles regulate neural stem cells activation/quiescence. This work was made possible by an amazing work of trainees in the lab and wonderful collaborators 1/7

Thrilled to share our paper out today in @CellCellPress! Transcranial magnetic stimulation can effectively treat depression, but how? We uncovered cell type-specific plasticity driving these antidepressant effects 👇 cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@YiZuoUCSC congrats!!!

New @NatureComms paper: we found a circuit that signals trial outcomes to the prefrontal cortex—and why stress makes it harder to learn from mistakes. Thanks @DailyNeuron_ for the coverage! dailyneuron.com/stress-cogniti… #zuolab #stress @MaShaorong

@Xiaochen_Sun_ impressive work!!!

Excited to share my co-first-authored work on registering in vivo Ca2+ imaging data to ex vivo transcriptomic and projection datasets, enabling the mapping of each cell’s functional coding to its genetic cell type: biorxiv.org/content/10.648….

PhD: defended :))) Started in the OR as a surgical nurse, then found my way into neuroscience, today I can finally say I HAVE DEFENDED my PhD 🎓😎 Grateful to @SChenlab for his mentorship beyond science. Thanks to my advisory committee @JCBeique, @maximewc, and Dr. Tuan Bui 🙏

The University of Ottawa's Medicine research teams earn nationally competitive grants from Brain Canada! 🧠🔬 Congratulations to Drs. Simon Chen and Sara Tremblay who have earned “Momentum Grants”, awarded to scientists whose work demonstrates exceptional promise in accelerating discoveries that improve our understanding of the brain and, ultimately, transform patient care.

Excited about this project combining 2-photon imaging & spatial transcriptomics: biorxiv.org/content/10.648… Lead scientist: @jason_hc_yong Collaborator: @erdem___varol Video: memorylongevity.org Website: memorylongevity.org/merscope-regis…

The Lippi lab is hiring a postdoctoral associate! We built new technologies to study post-transcriptional regulation in the healthy and diseased brain. We are recruiting motivated and talented scientists who will use these tools to discover new biology and new therapies.
