Explore how Vincent Magloire & colleagues use fluorescent sensors to track GABA & glutamate in real-time during seizures in #awakemice & gain new insights into seizure mechanics. Learn more at our webinar on March 21, 2024: bit.ly/42Jw9B3

Just got the news I've been elected as a member of the Royal Irish Academy! 🙂🍾Thank you to my proposers and referees - a nice anniversary gift as its exactly 20 years ago that I moved to Ireland to begin at RCSI. Cheers! Royal Irish Academy

Delighted to share our bio-protocol that allows imaging from brainstem neurons and glia in freely behaving rodents. bio-protocol.org/e4973 Our imaging method paves way to image challenging brainstem structures to investigate their role. Epilepsy Research Institute Inscopix Life Sciences

We're funding teams developing bioimaging tools that answer ambitious research questions or remove barriers to bioimaging in low-resource settings. Marion Mercier, Research Manager at Wellcome, explains 🎥⤵️ wellc.me/485MzV6

The next talk in our seminar series is on Weds 1st May at 2pm, presented by Vincent Magloire from UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology hosted by Wykes_Lab. Further details on poster - all welcome! 🧠 #neuroscienceseminar #manchesterneuroscience #epilepsyseminar

Our collaborative manuscript with Shyam Krishnakumar’s lab at Yale just posted on bioRxiv (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). Using a single vesicle fusion assay, we identify minimal protein machinery mediating synchronous and asynchronous SV exocytosis and short-term synaptic plasticity.

The Cousin lab are hiring!! We need someone to investigate dynamin-1 dysfunction in epilepsy. Experience in primary neuronal culture, live cell fluorescence imaging and standard molecular biology / biochemistry techniques are desirable. See thread...

In this Feature, @GarethMorris5 explains how his 2021 Emerging Leader Fellowship project is creating an exciting new control mechanism for gene therapy in epilepsy and what he hopes it will achieve for people with the condition: epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/f…

We are MOVING!!! The news is out - the Cell Physiology Workshop (aka the Plymouth Microelectrode Workshop) is moving to Liverpool UK in August 2024! 🔬⚡️🧬🦑🪱🪰🐌🐭🐠 We will be calling for applications for the 39th workshop very soon - please watch this space 🙂

🧠🔖Remarkable book - one of the top general neurology textbooks! If you don't have the chance to spend some time at UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology & the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN), this book is as close as it gets in reflecting the contemporary neurology practice at Queen

The final early career presentation is from Epilepsy Research Institute Emerging Leader Fellow Dr Amy Richardson, speaking about “A novel KCC2 based gene therapy for the treatment of focal, refractory epilepsy" #EmergingLeaders Amy Richardson More on this work here: epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

Amazing day at the Emerging Leaders Symposium with lots of inspiring and useful talks! Thank you so much for the opportunity to present my work 🧬🦠

PhD position available in Wykes_Lab ! Fantastic news. Epilepsy Research Institute North West Epilepsy Doctoral Training program lead by Rebecca Bromley The University of Manchester and @BrainImagingLiv University of Liverpool. 7 PhDs available to study the impact of anti-seizure drugs on cognition.
