THIS IS ONE NEURON! Jaw dropping. It distributes a particular neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) across the mouse brain; it’s a locus coeruleus neuron. @jeremiahycohen.bsky.social and colleagues at the @alleninstitute.bsky.social are using new biotech to see things never seen before.

Are you living with long COVID? We are recruiting for a study which aims to understand the mechanisms underlying breathing difficulties in long COVID. Read about it here: longcovid.blogs.bristol.ac.uk Or here: www.bristolbrc.nihr.ac.uk/research/res... @bristolbrc.bsky.social @uobppn.bsky.social

Check out the amazing line up of speakers for the Catecholamines GRC! Apply for GRC www.grc.org/catecholamin... & GRS www.grc.org/catecholamin.... In these uncertain times we appreciate any donation to support the participants in the GRC my.grc.org/p/contributi... & GRS my.grc.org/p/contributi...

Very excited to post this preprint... making a species that doesn't hibernate do something a lot like it, AND showing it is cardioprotective. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

When is a "pathogenic" variant in a classic pain gene (NaV1.7) not pathogenic? When its carried by many thousands of people and has no evidence of a pain phenotype or analgesic prescriptions... We need to reconsider how we assign pathogenicity to these variants. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

THE BOY FROM BLYTH!!!! SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!!!! 😍

Mice manage airways in anaesthetised cage mates... maybe there is a genetic basis for becoming an anaesthetist. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Do you have a basic science background and are interested in doing a PhD at Oxford University? Fully funded UK studentship available for 2025 intake to study the role of B-cells in human neuropathic pain To apply please see here: www.ndcn.ox.ac.uk/study-with-u...

We offer two PhD positions in Pain Neuroscience and Non-invasive neuromodulation. The positions are at the PainLabMunich (painlabmunich.de) and will be part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network FRESCO4NoPain. See www.cnap.hst.aau.dk/fresco4nopai... for details.

Excited to be part of the FRESCO4NoPain consortium - 17 PhD places available across European centres. Translational Neuromodulation for pain - apply here if this is your bag www.cnap.hst.aau.dk/fresco4nopai...

Happy 84th birthday to Anthony Fauci

Possibly the best thing about the post office this year… thanks to She Runs Cardiff

Our publishing model, launched last year, lets authors revise their papers whenever and however they choose. Here's the first-ever revision to be published on how the locus coeruleus is involved in visuomotor learning processes. #12DaysOfeLife https://buff.ly/3ZlX58u

Happy to be joining the wave of Neuroscience flocking here and bringing some locus coeruleus #bluespot interest to Bluesky
