My favourite reviewer's comment so far: [ Throughout the legends, please replace "Scare bar" with "Scale bar". ] #phdlife #PhD #graduateschool

Mammals have hundreds of joints and muscles. Controlling them individually would be nearly impossible. How does the nervous system organize such complexity into coherent actions? Our new study explores this question through a natural behavior: jumping. 1/15 🧵

ATLAS, a rationally designed transsynaptic tracer is out today! Plasmids will soon be available on @Addgene addgene nature.com/articles/s4159… Many thanks to first authors Jackie Rivera and Haoyang Huang, and to collaborators, @blsabatini @Kanoski_Lab @vincentw_weng @beherring

Has anyone used the new Ai214 (TICL-stGtACR1-HA-ICL-mRuby3) from JAX? Does it work? Our Cre+;Ai214 never make it to adulthood. 😤

A new single-cell atlas of gene expression provides insights into the patterning of the neural plate of mice. 🔗 elifesciences.org/articles/10504…

Beautiful synaptic terminals of rapidly-adapting low threshold mechanoreceptors (RA-LTMRs) in the spinal dorsal horn #FluorescenceFriday #somatosensation

Developmental Common Coordinate Framework (DevCCF) for developing mouse brain atlases is out. nature.com/articles/s4146… It features MRI and light-sheet co-registered templates and 3D anatomical labels based on developmental ontology from embryonic to adult ages

@yongsookimlab Super cool and useful! 🙌

@tayler_sheahan Congratulations Tayler! Can't wait to read it...

🥳New pub! Kappa opioid receptor agonists are clinically effective in treating chronic itch, but how do they work? We've found which neurons carry itch from the spinal cord to the brain and show kappa agonists inhibit these cells to suppress scratching 🦟 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our lab's paper led by @SamIngEsteves on HOW the clustered Protocadherins (cPcdhs) produce dendrite self-avoidance and complex neuronal morphologies was published today in @CurrentBiology: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jgpv3QW8S6F… @SickKidsNews @MoGen_Grad

We had a great time at our colouring book launch! 🚀Thank you to Dr. Hélène Beaudry and Dr. Reza Sharif for supporting this project!! If you are attending #IASP2024 @IASPpain conference stop by the QPRN or AECRP booth to flip through our book! 📸Dr. Farin Bourojeni @bourojeni

👌

We are so excited for our upcoming book launch this Friday!! We are preparing fun educational activities, giveaways, snacks, and cupcakes too! 😄🧠🥳 @aecrpain @rqrd_qprn @brokenkeys9

@MariaZamfirPhD Imagine sectioning the spinal cord of an animal that size :D

And here is a Dinosaur size vertebrae! 🦕😲 @PerotMuseum

A flexible neural interface that surrounds the spinal cord can stimulate and monitor this typically hard-to-reach area, according to a new @ScienceAdvances study. The approach may help in understanding and eventually treating spinal cord injuries. scim.ag/6UN
