Not the prettiest cell, but I'll take it: a voltage imaging recording of a striatal SST interneuron in vivo! 🧠 Now if we can pull this off with PV interneurons too, we'll really be cooking.
Just verifying our voltage imaging data agrees with patch-clamp ephys; that's a check! 🧠

I think Zach Fyke, a graduate student in our group may have broken some sort of patch-clamp record while teaching at @mblscience.bsky.social. Over the past three days, he has coached 21 people to patch at least one cell on our rig away from home. Photos are our “wall of success.”

Cross-posting a useful tool to help keep your neuroscience projects organized! Datashuttle is a neat Python tool (with a graphical interface) that automates folder creation and data transfer. Website: datashuttle.neuroinformatics.dev Chat: neuroinformatics.zulipchat.com#narrow/chann... 1/3
#neuroskyence folks: as my postdoc grant is running out soon, I am looking for new opportunities in systems neuroscience! Keywords: patch clamp ephys, opto, mouse behavior, (in vivo) voltage imaging. Would love to return to the Basal Ganglia. Sharing appreciated, and happy #FluorescenceFriday !
Today's #TraceTuesday also comes from Nic! This trace shows action potentials (spikes) from a retinal ganglion cell. Notice how the activity is much more slow compared to the cell from Adam a few weeks ago! 📈
Happy #MicroscopyMonday everyone! 🔬🧪 Today we have something a little bit different by Nic! In the video we can see the process she uses to clean the cells in order to patch them. 🐀
No #FluorescenceFriday, just sped up action potentials 🚀🧠🧪
Today's #TraceTuesday comes from Adam! It shows a mature intrinsic lateral olivocochlear neuron (iLOC; a type of efferent neuron) firing lots of action potentials! These iLOCs contact with the type I afferent neurons that innervate the inner hair cells, but not much is known about them. 📈🧪
Quite a nice image of 5-HT2A receptor distribution by Blake in the lab using our mice (I think now at JAX) pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37808655/
Starting things off today, we have a trace from Ivy, who is currently getting to grips with the art of patch-clamping! This trace shows the mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) current from a neonatal mouse outer hair cell. This is a great achievement for Ivy 🎉.
Join us for the next SGP EpIC Seminar on Tuesday, 5 May, at 12:00 pm Eastern featuring a talk by Amanda Lewis, "Piezo1 ion channels are capable of conformational signaling." As ever, registration is free and all are welcome. sgp-epic-seminars.com
My mom used to love #FluorescenceFriday, so I will keep posting in her memory ❤️ This photo shows neurons in the hippocampus accumulating phospho-tau in our monkey model of Alzheimer's Disease. Markers: Dapi 🔵, Neun 🔴, pTau 422🟣, AT8🟡
As a journalism grad, I struggled with Git for YEARS. For longer than I’d like to admit, it felt easier to keep my code on Google Drive instead of GitHub. 😅 So I’m kicking off a new section on Code Like a Journalist all about Git and GitHub! First lesson linked below — with more on the way! 👇

🧪 The Sjöström Lab in Montreal is looking for a postdoc! We study cortical circuits, synaptic plasticity, and NMDAR signalling using custom 2-photon microscopy and optogenetics. We seek candidates with strong patch-clamp and/or 2-photon imaging expertise, and a relevant publication track record.
📣 Postdoc opportunity ! Our lab is hiring a funded postdoc to explore the development of fear circuits using slice electrophysiology. If you have expertise in this area and are interested about cutting-edge neuroscience, reach out ! 🤗 klinglerlab.org Please share with your network 🙏
The lab is ready for slice electrophysiology after a four-year hiatus. The rig is working again! 👏
It's that time of year again! Apply now for the fantastic Cell Physiology Workshop (August 2025, Liverpool, UK)
