A/Prof Susanna Park Susanna Park from Brain & Mind Centre talks at our John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU Director seminar about her amazing work at the interface of #Neuroscience, #Cancer and #immunology

Amazing research out of @EcclesNeurosc John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU! Well done Leena and Wricha 👏

Congratulations to all of the John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU Hons students who gave their final presentations this week, including our own Chloe Dean. Lots of interesting discoveries from this cohort!

Next is Phyu! Phyu is a final year PhD student at the Bekkers lab, Eccles Institute of Neuroscience, ANU (John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU). She is the ACT rep for ANS 2022. Her research focuses on studying the roles of ion channels in the firing properties of neurons in the piriform cortex.

This years ANS sounds amazing! I can’t wait

The best!!

I’ve made this video as an intuition pump for the density of #synapses in the #brain. This volume ~ grain of sand, has >3.2 million synapses (orange cubes). Peeling them away leaves only inputs on 2 #neurons. Zooming in, we see the synapses localized to the dendritic spines. #b3d

Awesome postdoc opportunity with a fantastic mentor!

On behalf of ourANU, A/Prof Anne Bruestle from #OHIOH received MS Australia 50 Years President’s Medal. The Medal acknowledges the University's contributions to the MS community and efforts towards a world without #multiplesclerosis. Read more at bit.ly/msaanu

Congrats Nick. Amazing work!

Becky from the Dehorter Lab is a PhD student researching the immune associations to a-synuclein and #Parkinson’s disease. She will be presenting her project at this year's WPC 2026, made possible through the support of Shake It Up Australia. #WorldParkinsonsDay

Introducing Leena! Leena is a second year PhD student in the Neural Coding lab, Eccles Institute of Neuroscience, ANU (John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU). She is the ACT rep for ANS 2023. Her research focuses on the role of sensory channels in central processing of signals.

Evidence showing the importance of exercise for healthy brain function seems to be growing every day at the moment. Love these podcasts from Queensland Brain Institute, UQ

Imagine a lipid marker for learning and memory... Imagine a tangible link between cognitive and motor functions... and dysfunctions. #Biology #Microscopy #neuroscience Queensland Brain Institute, UQ Australasian Neuroscience Society (ANS) Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Excited to share our new release! Wish us luck😉 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

We are back bigger and better than ever for NationalScienceWeek 🧠🔬🧪 Keep posted over the coming days to hear about our absolutely stacked program! Featuring talks from world renowned scientists and interactive booths. This is one event you don’t want to miss!

What do we do in a day? Well on Saturday the 19th of August, we’ll be at Brain Teaser! Come see us there! #brainteaser #scienceweek #scienceweekact #neuroscience #brains

If you live in ACT (incl Queanbeyan), we are looking for participants with #sleep difficulties to be included in our trial. Please see the information listed below for more details. Please RT. #sleep #UniCBR #greentea #functionalbeverage #foodscience
