The Handbook of Ephys is out!! Thanks to the editors!
doi.org/10.1142/14331
"How to Patch a Cell"- we provide a quick-start guide for people who are fresh to whole-cell patching.
"Multiple Whole-Cell Recordings"- we go into details of obtaining quality recordings of dual- to 4-cell patch.
Enjoy!😃

"Long-Term Depression (LTD)" weakens the strength of brain connections and is a cellular mechanism involved in memory removal. In our new preprint, we found that the "memory receptor" (NMDAR) signals through the JNK2/STX1a pathway to mediate LTD!

Our latest paper (@alannawatt.bsky.social & @pjsjostrom.bsky.social) is out in Nature Protocols! (rdcu.be/d9f3v)
When a conversation goes wrong, do we always blame the listener? But then when a brain connection goes wrong, doesn't it seem unfair to always blame the "listener" neuron? (1/3)

My lab at CUHK (QS: 36th) is hiring!
We are looking for motivated Research Assistants, PhD students (urgent🚨) and Postdocs who love solving problems. To understand the mysterious brain, we use a range of fun techniques. Please spread the word and get in touch if you are interested!

Will miss my postdoc lab and awesome lab mates loads, Montreal & @mcgill.ca will always have a special place in my heart! Also sad to be leaving the amazing @canacn.bsky.social neuroscience community, but will hopefully be welcomed back to attend the fun CAN meetings 😃

Finding brain connections is slow. So we present Optomapping!
With laser-activation of single inputs + postsynaptic patch, 100s of connections can be rapidly examined.
Led by @pjsjostrom.bsky.social‘s long vision, spearheaded by the talented & persistent @christina-c.bsky.social. 🥂to the PJS team!

Visited Yellowknife and the Rockies on our last trip before leaving Canada - absolutely stunning!
