Happening tonight!

Join us for the Hows and Whys of Pain this week at Neurotalks where our speakers will discuss how we sense and perceive pain 😣, and why some people don't 🤔 🗓️ Wed 15 January 🕐 7pm-9pm, or as late as you like 🗺️ Cambridge Tap, upstairs

It was an absolute privilege to represent @cambridgeuni.bsky.social at the Global Young Scientists Summit in Singapore this week 🌞 #gyss

We've established I'm a fan of neurons breaking textbook neuron rules, so it was fun to dive into the world of C. elegans -- they only have 300 neurons, so they've got to act weird to make things work! www.brainfacts.org/thinking-sen...

Join the club! 👃 Some reasons to love olfaction: (1) lots of regeneration in the mammalian system! (2) full of weird neurons, eg no axons and co-transmitters (3) veeeery plastic (4) so ancient it bypasses the thalamus

@cambraincns.bsky.social made it to Bluesky! Are you in Cambridge and a fan of neuroscience? If so, this one is for you ⤵️

Time to start again 🦋 I'm Ailie! Regeneration is cool, so I study the olfactory system where both the sensory neurons and many of the interneurons keep regenerating. I'm doing my PhD at @elisagalliano.bsky.social's lab in Cambridge. I love neurons so much that sometimes, I paint them on my face.
