Just another day at @ulethbridge.ca

Not all injuries leave marks. Brain injury from intimate partner violence is often missed because symptoms can look like anxiety, forgetfulness, brain fog, headaches or dizziness. Recognizing IPV-BI is the first step toward connecting survivors with support. #IPVBI #EndGBV

Neurons don't connect randomly. In this video by our #ElectronMicroscopy team, a blue neuron's axon forms a connection to a far neuron. Along the way, it links to some neighbors while skipping thousands. Connectomics seeks to understand what makes those connections special.

Super special thank you as I wrap up from UBC: @markcembrowski.bsky.social Thank you for your guidance, encouragement, and belief in me! You made my postdoc journey not only rewarding but also fun!!! You are an amazing and empowering mentor! and a fabulous scientist!!! #belikeMark

Alright Vancouver! Time to say bye! #beautifulbritishcolumbia #endofera #vancouver #canada

Neural activity in mouse cortex forms rotating spiral waves. The architecture of individual axons matches the wave geometry, centered on somatosensory cortex. Beautiful new pape from our colleagues in the @steinmetzneuro.bsky.social lab. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🥁 Beyond excited that I will be joining The University of Lethbridge as an Assistant Professor in Neuroscience!!! 🎉 Grateful to my amazing mentors! @markcembrowski.bsky.social The Anwer Lab will be studying #braininjury and #dementia. Excited for work with students and collaborators!!

We tracked mice in space! This video shows our estimate of their self-induced centripetal force during circling in 3D 👩‍🚀 Preprint thread below 👇

1/ New preprint! 🧪With @talmo.bsky.social and team, we used deep learning on archival NASA video of mice on the ISS. Turns out mice in microgravity become tiny acrobats: huddling to sleep, doing backflips, even briefly generating their own ~1g. #SpaceBiology #OpenScience #NASA #SLEAP

Exciting Human Neuroscience research being discussed at Krembil Brain Institute today! Keynote by Ed Lein and amazing talks by teams from across the world! Proud partners: @dmcbrainhealth.bsky.social @ubc-gc2.bsky.social

#fluorescencefriday brings another example of blood vessels labeled with CD31 (yellow), amyloid plaques (cyan) and microglia (IBA1 magenta) in our ApoE4 🐭 model of Alzheimer’s disease. from the @mind-western.bsky.social team 🧠 cleared with SHIELD and images by 💡 sheet 🔬

Astrocytes do so much more than any of us thought - they even communicate among specific brain regions across hemispheres! The journey to this paper spanned nearly a decade, but I'm most excited to see what everyone else does with the tools we've built. There's so much for all of us to explore!

Astrocytes connect specific brain regions through plastic networks - Nature

Communication between distant brain regions is mediated by plastic networks of gap junction-coupled astrocytes.

Open source, trainee focused event designed to enable Canadian researchers adopt cutting edge tools for brain research!

#fluorescencefriday 🧠 from AppNL-G-F mouse model triple stained for amyloid beta (Cyan) IBA1 (microglia magenta) and CD31 (blood vessels yellow) thanks to @shahrzadbahrampour.bsky.social @nadiahaghbinphd.bsky.social and @arashsalah.bsky.social @mind-western.bsky.social

Freshly acquired: Light sheet microscopy image of vessels in cleared brain 😍😍😍 #flourescentfriday #microscopy

Hey #AAIC25 check out Arash’s presentation today at 8 AM and see some cool whole brain videos of the vasculaturs and plaques plus touchscreen testing room 106 Evaluating the Efficacy and Risks of Early Lecanemab Treatment in APOE4 Humanized Alzheimer’s Disease Mouse Models also poster 151

June is Brain Injury Awareness Month in Canada. At the DMCBH, researchers and clinicians are working together to understand how brain injury leads to disability, how to better diagnose these injuries, and how the brain can adapt to restore lost functions and abilities.

CAN 2025 was probably the best conference i've ever been to. great to see the neuro community and to have our lab members rock their posters and presentations. huge thanks to @cannabrain.bsky.social @rcbagot.bsky.social and @canacn.bsky.social for putting together such a super event!
