I will write more fully on this shortly - but this is a breathtaking abdication of responsibility by the UK’s medical regulator. This is mass medical deregulation - the GMC literally saying PAs can do whatever they want if their local employer says they can. An NHS scandal.

The fireworks in your mind. 🧠✨ This sparkling video shows the neurotransmitter glutamate being released into synapses, made possible by an indicator developed by Abhi Aggarwal, Kaspar Podgorski, and team. #HappyNewYear #NYE

Super excited to share our recent work now out in nature! We introduce trans-synaptic tracing tools from circuit neuroscience to study the whole-brain connectome of glioblastoma. nature.com/articles/s4158…

To become a GP, you need 10+ years of training. Yet we have other staff working in general practice that are working similarly to GPs by seeing high risk undifferentiated patients, but with only 2 yrs of medical training rather than 10. We also have 1000s of GPs out of work who

BMJ releases a clinical practice guideline of strong recommendations NOT to offer the below for chronic low back pain. Economists … population health … pain physicians … but not a single spinal / neurosurgeon on the paper?? Bizarre no?! bmj.com/content/388/bm…

Advances in neuroscience have yielded massive, rich datasets from various analysis techniques and modalities. In a Nature Neuroscience perspective, researchers underscore the importance of an integrative approach to render a more complete picture of the brain. nature.com/articles/s4159…

I have never felt so shaken. Children are dying of hunger. Falling one after another, like petals of a dying flower. Under our watch. How do you sleep, Presidents, Foreign Ministers, political leaders, diplomats, civil servants - doing nothing to stop Israel’s starvation

New electron microscopy study in Nature Neuroscience finds that layer 5 ET neurons mostly connect to inhibitory cells locally, esp. those suppressing other excitatory cells, suggesting a "winner-take-all" system. nature.com/articles/s4159…
