The Touchscreen Cognition team wishes everyone a peaceful and joyful holiday season!

Sincere thanks to all the panellists who took part our #AAIC25 Featured Research Session on advancing translational success chaired by @maximoprado.bsky.social and Vania Prado. Stacey Sukoff Rizzo, Neil Cashman, Frank Longo and Anoosha Attaran were all exceptional! #neuroscience

Thanks to everyone who took the time to visit our booth at #AAIC25! We had a wonderful time and met some amazing people being part of the CIHR Institute of Aging's Canadian Pavilion. Until next year!

#AAIC25 is almost done, but don't miss the opportunity to see @maximoprado.bsky.social, Vania Prado, and a panel of experts discuss improving preclinical testing to increase successful treatment of neurodegenerative disease! Today at 10am. More: touchscreencognition.org/aaic-2025/

Great to have all our leaders out supporting the team and young talent at #AAIC25! Shout out to @lisasaksida.bsky.social, @timbussey.bsky.social, @maximoprado.bsky.social, and Vania Prado.

So much talent from @westernu.ca presenting their cognition and Alzheimer's research at #AAIC25! We are very proud of all of their hard work. Read full abstracts here: touchscreencognition.org/aaic-2025/

If you're at #AAIC25 and want to learn more about what we do, come by booth 710M! You can also learn more about us and some incredible student work here: touchscreencognition.org/aaic-2025/

the MouseTRAP team will be presenting the following posters at #AAIC25 today. Come say high and learn how we are using translational approaches to better understand proteinopathies. @touchscreencog.bsky.social @tridentpct.bsky.social

The MouseTRAP team @touchscreencog.bsky.social @tridentpct.bsky.social presentations at #AAIC25 If you are interested in translating results from basic to clinical research come for a chat.

Our amazing team is busy at #AAIC25 sharing how to bridge the gap in translational research through customized and integrated solutions. The @alzassociation.bsky.social event is the largest international conference on dementia research.

Come join us at the @alzassociation.bsky.social International Conference in Toronto next week! The Touchscreen Cognition team, including MouseTRAP, will be in the Canadian Pavilion. Visit us to learn how we can help bridge the gaps translational research. #AAIC2025

Congratulations to Samina Panjwani on successfully defending her Masters thesis at @westernu.bsky.social today! Amazing work! @timbussey.bsky.social @lisasaksida.bsky.social @maximoprado.bsky.social

Deepest thanks to @yulonglilab.bsky.social and all those who attended his seminar on GRAB sensors in neuromodulator dynamics hosted by @maximoprado.bsky.social at @westernu.bsky.social.

Come and work with the Translational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab! We are looking for a #labmanager who wants to understand the circuits and mechanisms underlying cognition. Search ID 39142 at: recruit.uwo.ca

We are looking for a #labmanager with technical expertise to oversee operations at the Translational Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at @westernu.bsky.social and related areas in two core facilities. Search ID 39142 at: recruit.uwo.ca

Congratulations to @cadenceopoka.bsky.social for her SONA 2025 Outstanding Research Poster Award for 'Improving Cross-Species Validity in Attention Studies Through a Modified Touchscreen Continuous Performance Test.'

Congratulations to all the poster presenters at the 2025 SONA Meeting at @westernu.bsky.social today, especially @cadenceopoka.bsky.social discussing improving cross-species validity in attention studies. Read the full abstract here: sonasfn.org/data/uploads...

All set up for a great day of neuroscience talk at the 2025 SONA Meeting! Our team is demonstrating some of the great ongoing work happening in our mouse-trap.org and touchscreencognition.org/m2h/ projects. @westernu.bsky.social

This will be fun to do with my partner in crime @mallarchak.bsky.social in Montreal this coming Tuesday. Looking forward to discuss how combining humanizing mice with human relevant @touchscreencog.bsky.social and imaging improves drug discovery translation @westernubrainscan.bsky.social

Healthy Brains, Healthy Lives@hbhlmcgill.bsky.social · last yr.

🧪 How can early biomarkers help us develop and monitor better treatments for neurodegenerative diseases? Learn how @maximoprado.bsky.social & @mallarchak.bsky.social explore this using mouse models and imaging tools during their talk at #HBHLSymposium2025. 🧠 Join us on May 6: mcgill.ca/x/iwg

Happy to survive the jet lag to be there for Day 2 of this #ECNP2025 discussing emerging technologies. Also thanks to the #touchscreen symposium inc @timbussey.bsky.social & @lisasaksida.bsky.social for the most colorful lanyard & @acnporg.bsky.social for the flash!

Did you know that we have a newsletter? Stay informed about our upcoming events (e.g., touchscreen training course 2025!!) and latest news by signing up! Find out more here: touchscreencognition.org/2025/03/13/t...

Great to see our team out demonstrating touchscreen #cognitive tasks at a @westernuwin.bsky.social Neuroscience Research Day community event in support of #dementia caregivers and at-risk individuals.

Some exciting opportunities!
