Are hippocampal Cajal-Retzius cells important? Read what happens when you silence their synaptic output. Congratulations Max and Sun Kyong! Max Anstötz Glutamate released by Cajal-Retzius cells impacts specific hippocampal circuits and behaviors cell.com/cell-reports/f…

Happiness is a double recording! Nancy Castro Borjas NUIN #patchclamp #neuroscience

Brings back memories of a classic science fiction movie: "Fantastic voyage" (1966) and of its remake "Innerspace" (1987)! #innerspace #isaacasimov Cast: Cajal-Retzius cells (green), vGluT2 (red), nuclei (blue) Director: Max Anstötz Notice the vGluT2-expressing terminals of CRs

First nucleated patch in the lab! Great job, Nancy! Nancy Castro Borjas NUIN #patchclamp #neuroscience

#PLOSBiology: Does brain activity cause consciousness? A thought experiment dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa… As a neurophysiologist I feel like I’m obliged to say ‘yes’. So why I am so conflicted by this thought experiment? Jaan Aru Camilo Libedinsky Dr. Anna Schapiro

After 35 years of patching, looking at the real-time spontaneous activity of a living neuron is still fun and exciting!

Congratulations to Nancy for passing her Qualifying Exam with flying colors! Nancy Castro Borjas NUIN (Qualifying Exam Committee, left to right: Drs. Greg Schwartz, Alicia Guemez-Gamboa, Marco Martina). Everybody smiling! 👍 Schwartz Lab Alicia Guemez-Gamboa

We are hoping to hire a new postdoc. We do ex vivo/in vivo electrophysiology, 2P/confocal/electron microscopy, and behavior in WT, PD, and HD mice. Experience or interest in electrophysiology required. Please retweet and email [email protected] if interested. Thanks.

Dr. Alicia Guemez-Gamboa, will be giving a talk for the Seaver Autism Center Seminar Series on Wednesday, July 13, 2022 at 10am CT/11am ET. Follow the link to tune in next week!
