☀️ | On Saturday, 2 August 2025, staff and PhD students from across @uofgsii.bsky.social came together for a fantastic day trip to Millport. Organised by Social Committee Chair Dawn Mylet, the group enjoyed a cycle around the island, the fresh sea air, stunning views - and ice cream! 🚴⛵️🍦

Some souvenir on the 40X from one of our summer users 😬🤬

We have updated our nucleus reuniens paper: now with added data from rat (courtesy of Zaf Bashir's lab in Bristol). They also failed to evoke a synaptic response in CA1 pyramidal cells when activating reuniens axons, in either dCA1 or vCA1. #NeuroSkyence www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

The Rajani Lab is hiring! We are looking for a postdoc to join us at @ukdri.ac.uk @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social to investigate neuronal activity and white matter changes in vascular dementia. Apply here 👇 bit.ly/44AFJHx

Last week we spoke to our Principal & Vice Chancellor @uofgvc.bsky.social about the ARC & how this interdisciplinary & collaborative space enables us to do things differently. Hosting the Carbon Exhibition is a fantastic example. The exhibition is on until the 29th June.

New study featured on the June cover of Nature Neuroscience used Vizgen’s MERSCOPE® to uncover how microglia and CD8⁺ T cells drive white matter degeneration in aging brains. Learn more: vizgen.com/study-publis... #SpatialBiology

If heterochromatin is really a liquid-like condensate, why is it not spherical? We investigated whether mechanical interactions between a condensate and a fiber network can explain the variety of morphologies seen in phase-separated nuclear compartments www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
