Congrats CDN @devneuro.bsky.social! We were able to earn a Platinum 'My Green Lab' certification earlier this year, and it was a delight to lead our Green Neuro Team along with Martyna Panasiuk and Carlos Ronancio-Garcia, to achieve this goal for the department! #GreenNeuroscience #Sustainability

It was a pleasure to discuss the fascinating work of Schamiloglu and colleagues in this Journal Club piece. Turns out that layer 5 pyramidal neuron subtypes defined by dopamine receptor expression exhibit *remarkably* different dendritic integration strategies! www.jneurosci.org/content/46/2...

Incredible! Scientists receive a rare standing ovation after announcing that a new treatment can double the survival time for pancreatic cancer, the deadliest cancer which was once considered “undruggable.” When we fund and support science, we can achieve anything! (Video: Dr. Wish Dhillon)

Structure of dopamine-releasing neurons relates to the type of circuits they form for smell-processing | King's College London
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure.

Today we ran our first Sustainability Party in the CDN to kick off our My Green Lab campaign!! Over the next few months we'll be introducing sustainability initiatives in the department that aim to reduce the climate impact of the work we do. Let's go! 🌍🧪🔬

Another successful Ephys Club! Pizza 🍕, refreshments 🥤 and an amazing talk from Laura Fedele, who set up a rig all by herself and managed to get successful recordings from iPSCs all in less than a year! Thanks to our sponsor Scientifica for making it possible!
