Happy Halloween!

Delighted to share that Sydney's (@sciencey_syd) paper has been accepted! Celebrating as a lab.

“Twisting dendrites” by Dale Chihuly. Of course I had to go see it. Made my neurobiology nerd + art nerd heart happy. #cshlneurocon at Cold Spring Harbor Labs

Delighted to be here. #cshlneurocon

Now introducing Dr Duarte! I could not be more proud.

Cannot wait for Vini's PhD thesis defense tomorrow!

My lab threw me a surprise belated birthday celebration today! They're all the bestest.

Here they are back in March 2022

Next, Vini was able to explain one of our long-standing questions in the lab: why does expression of the potassium channel KiR2.1/KCNJ2 block regeneration? It turns out that when KiR2.1/KCNJ2 is expressed, calcium doesn't flow into the cell after dendrite injury.

Injury is near the top of the image, about 30 frames in to the movie. Cell body in the middle, dendrites all around, axon is going down.
