At #FENS2026 ? Our new data on #electricalsynapses tomorrow: Olga Netsyk shows how #gapjunctions time spikes even in a ”slow” network (PS04-678) & Andriana Mantzafou reveals how removing electrical synapses alters the rules of engagement in a circuit and can even make rats better fathers (PS04-677).

Sharing the info that the poster submission for the 2026 Society for Social Neuroscience is open until 7/10. Please join us in beautiful Montreal - we have an excellent program covering social neuroscience research across many species! @s4sn.bsky.social

BREAKING: Massive anti-U.S., pro-Greenland protests have erupted in Copenhagen Let that sink in, one of America’s closest allies is publicly protesting out of fear we might invade their territory So much for the claim that “the world respects the U.S. under Trump.” The reality? It’s the opposite.

When my mother passed away late Dec, I lost not only a parent but the one who guided me into science. A paediatric nephrologist who had an entire children’s hospital built, and a cellular physiologist whose exploration of salt balance spanned from kidney to 🧠, she was the consummate MD-PhD. (1/5).

Today he would have turned 100. Yesterday, 25 years since he received his Nobel Prize. Master of proteins, synapses, New York’s best places to eat and the more than occasional off-colour joke. Trailblazer, inspiration, generous source of insight and support. In grateful memory, Paul Greengard.

Diving into the PubMed rabbit hole while looking up a reference instead of focusing on getting the manuscript finished - is that what Robert Frost had in mind when he wrote ”Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening ”?

An extraordinary life of scientific discovery has come to an end.
