Did you know?
Scientists can study how cells move, form, and interact in real-time using state-of-the-art microscopes.

In this picture you see cells of the eye developing from the outside to toward the lense. Studying their movement helps scientists understand cell interactions, development, and health.

New podcast episode!
Dr. Sonia Mayoral shares stories about how she got started in science, her exciting research on myelin-producing glial cells, recent lab successes, scientific travel memories, advice, and more! Sonia's research focuses on uncovering the many functions of glial cells and their potential for developing therapies for neurologic diseases.

@PhiloNeuroScie Wow, linking neuromodulation with glia and the synchrony of neuronal activity. How interesting. It's giving me ideas for experiments to run in #Drosophila to study the contributions of astrocyte-like glial cells.

(Likely after imbibing all your #wine out on the #patio in the #summer...)

Well, yes they do. And here's a new paper on the topic.

You liked our #GliaMorph work, but have no idea how to use it?

Worry no more.

anyone here stained brain tissue for glial markers like GFAP or Iba-1 and have a protocol they could share? The goal is to localize electrode tracks but any protocol for glia could work. TIA! #neuroscience #glia

📢 New preprint out ! 📢
We investigate how and why the disruption of the astrocyte network (through the KO of gap junctions) affects the neuronal bursting phenotype.
Combining experiments and a new mathematical model based on synaptic short-term plasticity we found that the main affected mechanism is afterhyperpolarization through KCNQ channels regulation !
