Brain Energy

Brilliant day hearing about all the ECR research happening in the @ARUKSouthCoast network. Here’s some pictures of @kirashaw @AnderleSilvia and @OGSteele presenting. Thanks to everyone involved for organising and presenting 🧠👩‍🔬 @neuro_chlo @synapseMVClab

We next tested what populations of cells the three methods classified as ‘place cells’ in real two-photon data. Interestingly, the populations were completely independent, and their overlap was at (or even below) chance level. (4/7)

Some pictures from our zoom Christmas party this year! It was a bit different to usual, but we still managed secret santa and a (virtual) escape room! #Christmas2020 #zoom

Today we are having a 'lab away day' using Gather Town. We had a lot of fun exploring the environment and making our characters! Now time for some science 😀

Another angle of CA1 vasculature

And here is a 3D projection of the vascular network in CA1: which is also organised, but with a less dense capillary network and a perfusion source which comes from below.

How pretty is this 3D projection of the vasculature of mouse visual cortex captured using two-photon microscopy? We love how you can see the pial vessels along the surface, and their penetrating branches and then dense capillary network. #vessels #neuroscience #twophoton

Come talk to us @BrightonHoveFC AMEX stadium today for @ARUKSouthCoast public engagement event. We’ll be talking all about our research into #Alzheimers - plus we’re debuting our cool new banner! 🧠 @cathnaledi @AnderleSilvia @kirashaw

Today will be the radio debut of our lab member @kirashaw! Hear all about the Valentine's Vulture at 2.30pm on @BBCR1 with @Alicelevine and @dev_101

Here’s some photos from our lab Xmas party last night! 🎄Thanks @cathnaledi and @chrismbird for hosting the murder mystery 🥂

A similar picture... I separated CMRO2 events by size (large N=58, small N=756), and looked at corresponding Hbt and Hbr traces...

I separated our HC neuronal calcium responses by size to compare larger calcium events (N=40) to smaller ones (N=70), and see what the corresponding vessel dilations looked like... the vessel diameter changes were equivalent.

Great APOE symposium today @SussexUni - here’s an action shot of Orla presenting her work! @SussexNeuro Well done to all the speakers. #neuroscience 🧠

#TBT to Katie and Devin's thesis hand-in celebrations with the whole lab! Cheers 💃🥂

Ready for some Halloween-y outreach!

We’re busy making jelly brains and Halloween snacks ready to talk neuroscience with some kids tomorrow! #Halloween19 #neuroscience #brain @wpevents_sussex @SussexFirstGen @SussexNeuro @Sussex_Psych 🧠 🧟‍♀️

Huge congratulations to @katieCodes_ and Devin from our lab who both handed in their theses today. We’re so proud of you both and all your hard work!! 🥰💪🏼 #phd #deadline #madeit #almostdr

First day for our new lab member, @AnderleSilvia!

The @SussexNeuro stickers make a welcome edition to our colourful door! Thanks @Serpell1 for the donation !! #scienceisforeveryone
