Postdoc in Szczot Lab, Linköping University | 🧠Neuroscience of bodily sensations and perception | Sailing and SUP aficionado | 🇵🇱 living in 🇸🇪 | Views my own.
Inspiring talks & discussion on how to move forward with neuronal classification in the age of multiomic integrations on today's dual perspective at #SfN25. Super important stuff if we want to make real clinical impact. Thanks @vabraira.bsky.social, @tedpricethepainguy.bsky.social and Jeremy Miller!

#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience!

Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia.

Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !

@psalmotoxin.bsky.social mesmerized the Linköping Somatosensory crowd with his great research! As photographic evidence suggests, Marcin was euphoric, so was I. Thanks for visiting!

An example of what we in the NIH Intramural program can accomplish. Excited to share our latest paper in close collaboration with Nick Ryba's group. We examined how inflammation transforms representation in somatosensory neurons to cause pain. Lots of surprises here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our first release in the attempt to build the Transcription Factor Binding (TFB)-OMICS during #DevBio is now out in Development @dev-journal.bsky.social
doi.org/10.1242/dev....
👉We hope many will use our data, and some will want to help mapping their beloved gene regulators in their favorite tissue
We are using CUT&RUN-LoV-U to map effectors of Signaling Pathways across tissue and stages of Mouse #DevBio🐭🧬

Do you want to join forces and collaborate to build the future of the TranscriptionFactorBinding(TFB)-OMICS?

Strong agree. The article's title should've been "How to write a quick, shitty review that will frustrate the authors and bring nothing good to the table. Now with AI!"

I really think one of the best things about science is the people you meet along the way. Thanks @mbrodzki.bsky.social,Gabriela, Leandro, Christoffer and Felipe!Especially thanks to @szczotml.bsky.social and Ilona,I really enjoyed all our discussions!
Now, I'm very excited about what's coming next!

Very clever biophysical trickery used to modulate TRPV1 channels in models of inflammatory pain. Cool and innovative🧠 #painresearch !

Solvent-mediated analgesia via the suppression of water permeation through TRPV1 ion channels - Nature Biomedical Engineering
TRPV1 ion channels allow for water flow through them and their activity can be suppressed by downregulating the permeation of cations through the channels via the administration of deuterated water.
