Party 👀

WOW! 372 "astrocyte" presentations this year at #SfN2023 @SfNTweets Not enough talks - let's work on this for 2024. Full roundup below. I am SURE I have missed some, so please reply with more! Daily session roundups to come for each session. See you all soon. #SocietyForGlia

#SfN25 #SocietyForGlia #Astrocytes @borderbiologist.bsky.social presenting now! Come and learn about a new function for a substate of reactive astrocytes - antigen presentation!

#SocietyForGlia #SfN25 #Astrocytes Astrocyte presentation round up for Day 1. Sorry if I missed anyone, please comment below with others! See you about the conference

It has been an immense honor to learn & grow with two of the greatest scientists I know: @zachtpennington.bsky.social & @joezaki.bsky.social 🧑‍🔬 Listen in on our conversation about mentorship, building trust and creating a safe space to disagree: neuronline.sfn.org/professional...

Excited to share that I landed my dream job!🎉🎉🎉 The Pennington Lab will be opening at the University of British Columbia in January 2026! @ubcpsych.bsky.social @dmcbrainhealth.bsky.social

New paper out in Cell Reports! Led by @susieyufeng.bsky.social, we found that chronic epilepsy in mice drives distinct synchronization deficits in hippocampus and MEC, with early changes in HPC and late-onset changes in MEC that align with progressive memory impairment. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Astrocyte physiologists and computationalists! Imaging astrocyte structure and function, we discovered and quantified a spatial threshold to astrocyte calcium surge ⭐ doi.org/10.7554/eLif...

❓ Do you know what the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) does? No? Neither did we! 🧠 In a new preprint from the Cai Lab, learn how we discovered the AHN’s central role in regulating stress vulnerability. Read the paper here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... (1/6)

SO EXCITED to share our latest work demonstrating that the anterior hypothalamic nucleus (AHN) regulates stress vulnerability!!!

🌟 Cai Lab Nature (@natureportfolio.bsky.social) paper alert! In work led by Joe Zaki, we find that rest periods after learning not only stabilize new memories BUT ALSO integrate new memories with older ones from days past! (1/10) Read it here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just showing off some growth
