Happy 108th Birthday, Brenda Milner! Her contributions to neuropsychology shaped the way we understand the human brain. From surviving two world wars and two pandemics, to paving the way for future generations of researchers, Milner’s legacy continues. @mcgill.ca @cusm-muhc.bsky.social

RIP Bonnie Tyler

Are you a senior postdoc with a complete scientific story to tell? Apply for our Yale Molecular Psychiatry MAPS program and tell us about your work at our weekly neuroscience seminar series. PLEASE REPOST!

Very pleased to share our latest (now published), from star student Kamal Narayana. He finds lowering (not increasing) peri-infarct blood flow beyond the hyper-acute phase, improved stroke recovery by lessening blood brain barrier disruption and neuro-inflammation. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very excited for our new paper, now out in @cellcellpress.bsky.social! /🧵 The protein Tau forms intracellular toxic tangles in neurons in Alzheimer’s disease and Tauopathies. Tau pathology slowly spreads from cell-to-cell but the mechanisms are not clear /1 authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahabahahahahahaha

Check out our new paper, led brilliantly by Dr. Megan Brickner, in early view form at @natcomms.nature.com. We characterize BLA dopamine signaling in emotional learning - lots of insights into broad dopamine heterogeneity beyond classic value learning signals! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Ready to take the train 🚆 to go to the 2026 Neurobiology of Stress Workshop in Montréal and we may have to add Glia as a participant 😸 www.stress2026.com

Hiring! Please share! Two postdoctoral researchers at EPFL, Lausanne, to join an SNSF-funded project on stress, motivation, immersive VR, physiology, multimodal sensing and translational biomarkers. Details & applications: www.fens.org/careers/job-... www.fens.org/careers/job-...

Now accepting proposals for ISSR 2027! Please share widely!

Sharing the latest from the lab. Led by Yunlong Liu, this work explores how microglia and engram neurons interact during fear extinction in the hippocampus. rdcu.be/fgNH7

The Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology is looking to grow! We opened a position for an assistant or associate professor, please distribute ! facultycareers-ohsu.icims.com/jobs/39006/a...

Just 2 weeks left to apply: Tenure-track faculty position at the University of Pittsburgh for someone studying the mechanisms of pain. Looking for interactive colleagues. Please spread the word! Info here: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersectio...

Excited to share an early look at psilo-seq, a web portal for exploring our lab’s single-nucleus RNA-seq data in mice following psychedelic treatment.

Excited to share our latest in @currentbiology.bsky.social (they who publish the coolest papers!) Memories are encoded by sparse neuronal ensembles (engrams). But most evidence comes from "simple" associative learning tasks. What about more integrative memories like spatial navigation?

Excellent post. Scientific inflation is likely 2X that of retail price index. Add to this the creep in the amount of data now required to support a grant application or paper and the fact that grant values still do not cover all expenses and we are between a harbour wall and an approaching tsunami.

Astrocytes do so much more than any of us thought - they even communicate among specific brain regions across hemispheres! The journey to this paper spanned nearly a decade, but I'm most excited to see what everyone else does with the tools we've built. There's so much for all of us to explore!

📣 Exciting news: my lab is moving to the Krembil Institute at the University of Toronto’s University Health Network in Fall 2026. We’ll be recruiting for all roles, so reach out if you’re interesting in joining us to study spinal circuits for sensorimotor control www.levine-lab.org

Excited to share the latest one from the lab led by José Solano @jolusolo.bsky.social who explored how early life #stress impacts the mouse 🐭 brain 🧠 vasculature Science 🧪🔬 can be surprising & 2x stress can induce beneficial adaptations leading to resilience, phew! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We’re hiring! The University of Pittsburgh is recruiting a tenure-track faculty member in pain research to join the Department of Neurobiology and the Pittsburgh Center for Pain Research—an outstanding and highly collaborative community. Please share. More here: cfopitt.taleo.net/careersectio...

Does anyone have any European or Canadian nursing contacts who work in paediatric mental health, specifically the nexus of acute psychiatry and neurodiverslty? A friend is doing research in this area.

Officially out today! Long-running project, many thanks to give - in particular to my mentors & collaborators, the postbacs who worked so hard on each experiment, and the reviewers. If you love the amygdala, give it a read. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Happy to see this one coming through. The first from my PhD studies 🤓 and hopefully more interesting data to share soon about early life #stress and brain #vascular function.

Trainees attending @canacn.bsky.social 2026 Meeting - @franklandlab.bsky.social and I are co-hosting the Circuits & Behaviour satellite and seeking 4 trainee speakers (one of whom will receive a $500 "Best Talk" prize). Register by next Friday for consideration: www.eventbrite.ca/e/neural-cir...

Good outcomes like this reinforce the importance of all stages of peer review - review of our 'stories' starts yrs before submitting - trainees' posters, my talks, presenting figures at lab/committee meetings. MANY scientists 'review' our work pre manuscript submission, it is all the better for it.

What has changed in mama bear brain (well, actually mice) to make her risk her life to attack a potential threat and protect her young? Oxytocin is the key! Happy to share our new study led by two awesome postdocs: Takashi Yamaguchi and Rongzhen Yan. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Canadian Association for Neuroscience is very proud to announce Dr. Maria Ioannou, from the University of Alberta, has been awarded the CAN 2026 New Investigator Award View her profile: can-acn.org/awards/new-i...

How does blood flow relate to brain activity? We discovered that it reflects two neural populations affected oppositely by arousal. Together, they explain neurovascular coupling in all brain regions and brain states! Out today in Nature: rdcu.be/fdC2A @uclbrainscience.bsky.social

Beyond delighted to share our amazing collaboration with Thierry Alquier's lab @alquierthierry.bsky.social on a conserved role for neuronal lipid droplets in regulating energy homeostasis in vivo led by Celena Cherian, Romane Manceau, Danie Majeur, and Colin Miller www.nature.com/articles/s42... /1

I always thought that mice couldn't over groom their own backs in a pattern like this, and that instead it was due to their cagemates eg barbering?
