delighted our latest paper reached its final form - incredible job from @DrSorayaM showing with biochemistry, anatomy, slice & in vivo whole cell recordings how synaptic changes coincide with altered sensory coding in cortex of mice affected by #tauopathy academic.oup.com/braincomms/art…

Where does Alzheimer’s begin in the brain? Our new study in @NeuroCellPress reveals that earliest changes start deep in cortical layers 5/6, selectively affecting parvalbumin interneurons via reduced NPTX2 & GluA4. Restoring NPTX2 reversed deficits. cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

1/10 Our latest research, led by @MartijnSelten, identifies a mechanism through which Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons regulate their activity in the #cortex. This is the story @Nature nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵⬇︎ @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN @ERC_Research @RosetreesT

Excited to start my role as @britishneuro.bsky.social BNA President at #BNA2025! Thanks @tspiresjones.bsky.social for serving as President over the last two years. A hard act to follow! Thx also for your service as Immediate Past President for the next two years. 🙏

Researchers led by Dr Claire Durrant have used living human brain tissue to show for the first time how a toxic protein in Alzheimer’s can damage synapses👏 The team hope the cutting-edge tool could help accelerate the development of new treatments👉buff.ly/cXK2LIa

🎉 That's a wrap on #BNA2025! 🇬🇧 This year's International Festival of #Neuroscience in Liverpool, UK was a resounding success, and #FENS is thankful to have been able to join alongside @EJNeuroscience Editor-in-Chief John Foxe (@JohnnyFoxe). 🧠 Over the last 3 days, we had to chance to dive into the ground-breaking #BrainResearch going in the UK and connect with inspiring and committed #neuroscientists from around the world. 🌍 Thanks to @BritishNeuro for all the fun – we're already looking forward to #BNA2027 in Belfast! 🌟

We are so excited to be taking the #BNA2025 International Festival of #Neuroscience to #Liverpool ! A city where history, culture and innovation collide - the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable neuroscience gathering. Join us bna2025.org #cpd #careerdevelopment

Today marks the beginning of OpenRxiv, which replaces bioRxiv and medRxiv, the world's largest preprint platform for life and medical science @openrxiv

Our “Neuro-AI” paper has just been published in Cell. It describes a new deep learning-based classifier for identifying different cell types in Neuropixels recordings: doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…
