Great news! We are looking for an NHP neuroscientist as the assistant professor level. We have no preconceived ideas -- looking for the most exciting research going. If you have any questions, please reach out. universityaffairs.ca/search-jobs/...

.@andpru.bsky.social CRC in Sensorimotor Neuroscience and @schulichmeddent.bsky.social professor and his collaborators recently published in Nature on how our brains not only plan out our actions, but they actually anticipate unexpected disturbances. Learn more: news.westernu.ca/2025/10/sens...

#fluorescencefriday shows the intimate relationship between astrocytes, (cyan) microglia (green) and amyloid plaques (magenta). we find that in APOE4 mice there is much more glia associated with plaques.

Careful dissection of motor sequence learning by @andpru.bsky.social and @mkashefi.bsky.social. In my humble opinion this should be an instant classic 😏. www.jneurosci.org/content/earl...

Motor sequence learning involves better prediction of the next action and optimization of movement trajectories

Learning new sequential movements is a fundamental skill for many animals. Motor sequence learning may arise from three distinct processes: (1) improved execution of individual movements independent o...

Canada has amazing scientific talent-the research sector deserves to be recognized and funded competitively to sustain and expand excellence and ensure scientific research continues to serve as an engine driving health and prosperity of the nation thelogic.co/news/ozempic...

Key Ozempic researcher says Canada is messing up science funding - The Logic

Daniel Drucker, a Canadian researcher who made a major contribution to the development of Ozempic, says it is a “tragedy” that Canada exports so much research overseas

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Jibran Khokhar @drjkhokhar.bsky.social to our Editorial Board!! Dr. Khokhar's research focuses on the mechanisms underlying co-occurring mental illness & substance use disorders, and assessing how long-term adolescent cannabis use might contribute to disease risk.

Hey Canadian scientists 🧪 I'm doing a story on how the turmoil at NIH/NSF etc is affecting your work... funding, collaboration, other? DM if you'd like to talk about it.

We are looking for motivated post docs. Projects on Alzheimer’s and Synucleinopathy. New mouse models, combined lightsheet/15.2T MRI and high throughput cognitive testing using touchscreens. Perfect for a recent graduate in Neurosciences or related field. Come work with us in 🇨🇦 👊😀🧪 please share.
