It was a great day @westernu.ca, and such an honor to be selected by students for the Treva Glazebrook Lecture. Thank you, Kendra Loedige, for being a wonderful host. Great to see you and catch up, @drjkhokhar.bsky.social - thanks for teaching me about academia in Canada. 🤩🇨🇦
So great to have @flagel-lab.bsky.social give the 2025 Treva Glazebrook Lecture @westernu.ca today! A master-class in the neurobiology of inhibitory control! The lecture is voted on and hosted by neuroscience trainees and they picked a good one! @westernuwin.bsky.social

A brilliant keynote today by @jfcryan.bsky.social at the EBPS meeting on how the gut shapes behavior, including striking causal evidence for microbiome’s role in social behaviors. A masterclass of body-brain complexity! & with an impressive depth of data and the right dose of humor!

#FluoresenceFriday capturing the beauty and complexity of midline thalamic nuclei - projections to/from & c-fos (teal). Maybe there is more to the midline thalamus than the PVT? 😉 Thanks to postdoc, Stephanie Desrochers, and undergraduate student, Lea Hsu, for capturing! 🤩
