Postdoc in the spinal cord connections lab (Graham Lab) at Uni Newcastle Upon-thePacific (Aus) studying circuits of the Dorsal horn with a focus on projection neurons. Patching, imaging, love of fluorescent eye candy.

This is seriously cool
✨ Announcing a new glutamate indicator - iGluSnFR4! ✨

Launched as a pair, iGLuSnFR4s and iGluSnFR4f have high-sensitivity and fast activation/deactivation for recording synapses.

More on the indicators and what they are already revealing: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Tour de force of central processing hubs from the gut. Awesome
Splanchnic and pelvic spinal afferent pathways relay sensory information from the mouse colorectum into distinct brainstem circuits. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.02.24.639793v1

What a year for the spinal cord connections lab!

Awesome news in the rundown of 2024.

Now for 2025!
FUNDING SUCCESS! Congratulations to Program Chair Professor Brett Graham on his National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Ideas Grant.

I have stolen our research programs post from the other place. We were fortunate enough to receive funding from ARC. Bring on the experiments #neuroskyence #painresearch @spinalcordguy.bsky.social

#FluorescenceFriday has been epic! Thanks for sharing!
I’ll put up a very boring characterisation of a transgenic line. Sagittal spinal section showing GC6 expression (green), inhibitory (blue/magenta)and excitatory neurons (red only)

Happy #FluorescenceFriday !
Let's celebrate with a colorful image of a developing ventral spinal cord of a 🐣 embryo.

First post to bsky eep.. Work from my PhD was (finally) accepted: www.nature.com/articles/s41.... The main findings: as spinal projection neurons axons ascend to the brain they are influencing spinal circuits, adding a layer of complexity to their role and function locally. More details below...
