4. Saber que el hipocampo sano del degu funciona de manera similar al de roedores de laboratorio abre el camino para estudiar los efectos de la enfermedad tipo AD esporádica en animales envejecidos. Coming soon. @agenciacyta @fundacionleloir

3. En nuestro trabajo caracterizamos el funcionamiento basal del hipocampo en animales jóvenes y saludables. Encontramos: - Neuronas de lugar. - Interés en objetos y actividad neuronal asociada. - Ritmos cerebrales similares a los de ratas y ratones.

2. Los degus son modelos naturales de la enfermedad de Alzheimer esporádica. Con la edad, una fracción de ellos desarrolla biomarcadores, deterioro cognitivo y comorbilidades típicos del alzhéimer. ¿Y si pudiéramos monitorear la actividad del hipocampo mientras esto sucede?

Científicos de la FIL @KropffLab caracterizaron por primera vez la actividad neuronal vinculada con la memoria espacial que se registra en el hipocampo de un novedoso modelo animal de la enfermedad de Alzheimer: @CONICETDialoga leloir.org.ar/blog/un-roedor…

4. Knowing that the healthy hippocampus is roughly similar to that of lab rodents paves the way for the future study of sporadic AD-like or healthy aged animals. More on this coming soon.

3. In our work we characterized baseline hippocampal function in young, healthy animals. We found: - Place cells. - Interest in objects and associated neural activity. - Brain rhythms similar to those of rats and mice.

2. Degus are really cool because they are a natural model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease. A percentage of them develops the disease with age, exhibiting AD biomarkers, cognitive impairment and comorbidities. How cool would it be to monitor hippocampal activity as this happens?

La primavera se toma su tiempo pero la #SAN2021 está cada vez más cerca. 11 simposios tendremos este año y @rodrigoecheveste e @inessamengo son los chairs de “How does the brain represent what we know (and don't know) about the world?”. (hilo con las charlas de este simposio):

We saw a lag of 9 days between low relative humidity outdoors and COVID-19 cases during winter in Buenos Aires, led by @KropffLab with @jljcolorado pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… Relationship with humidity is complex and just one of many factors.
Relative Humidity Predicts Day-to-Day Variations in COVID-19 Cases in the City of Buenos Aires

Relative Humidity Predicts Day-to-Day Variations in COVID-19 Cases in the City of Buenos Aires

Abstract. Possible links between the transmission of COVID-19 and meteorology have been investigated by comparing positive cases across geographical region
