Pleased to report that this #neuroscience paper is finally out in PLoS Biology https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3003419
We then used optogenetics and patch-clamp electrophysiology, and found that after 3 days of treatment, thalamic EPSCs on ventral striatum medium spiny neurons were substantially reduced. We looked at data from one of our ongoing clinical s…
#Neuroscience preprint alert! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.06.26.600791v2
I'm delighted to share this updated version of our main neuroimmunology project, looking into the mechanisms through which immune activation can driv…
We now have #Neuroscience manuscript 3 of 2025 on BioRxiv. I had a relatively small role in this molecular project, which was led by my colleague Brian Morris and our student, Liang Yue.
Prenatal stress is a risk factor for disorders such…
Our latest #Neuroscience preprint is out! Work led by Ella, with help from Lilya & @shivali-kohli.bsky.social. Collaborations with Jon Witton & Andy Randall (Exeter) & John Aggleton in Cardiff. We were looking at synaptic properties of inp…
I missed #FluorescenceFriday but here's an image for one from the manuscripts on the nearly-finished pile. We've found a genetic marker for the deep CA1 pyramidal cells. Magenta is calbindin (IHC), cyan is the other cell type (AAV-TdTom). …
We also used monosynpatic rabies tracing to see if there was an input to CA1 pyramidal cells from NRe, but we only found neurons in NRe when we also had starter cells in subiculum. While we can't exclude the existence of a very sparse NRe …
My new year's resolution was to work through the pile of almost-finished papers so... #PrePrintAlert #Neuroscience. This is an update to one we put out late 2021, which got delayed with Lilya (lead author) going on maternity leave (yay, la…
Today is International #TalkLikeAPirate day and also our MSc Brain Sciences induction session. I got at least 3 face-palms and an eye-roll when I made a pirate R joke. Sometimes I really do enjoy my job... 😏 #DadJokes
Preprint alert! Delighted to share our work looking at immune & brain mechanisms of inflammation-driven anhedonic behaviour. This was led by the awesome Deepika Sharma, Lilya Andrianova & Rhona McGonigal, with important contributions from …
We got an email from BBSRC to say they'll send reviews out in random sequence, one at a time, over the next couple of days. So they'll trickle in without any indication of how many to expect.
This is a great chronic unpredictable stress mo…
