A groundbreaking discovery in neuroscience could reshape our understanding of the brain's functionality. Hidden within the intricacies of the brain's architecture, a hybrid cell, halfway between neurons and glial cells, has been unveiled, challenging the status quo https://bit.ly/3RJG06e #brain #biology

"Excited to kick off my PhD journey in Neuroscience at SIAT, where innovation meets excellence! Under the mentorship of Prof. Helemt Kettenmann, a luminary in microglia research, I'm embarking on a quest to unravel the secrets of the brain. Let's dive deep into the realm of discovery together! #Neuroscience #PhDLife #Innovation #SIAT"

🚀🧠 Revolution in Neuroscience: First Complete Cellular Map of Adult Mouse Brain 🐭🔬 The Allen Institute's unveiling of the first full cellular map of an adult mouse brain is a landmark achievement. This work: 🌐 First-ever full cellular map of an adult mouse brain. 🧬 Identifies over 5,300 cell types, opening doors to understanding brain complexity. 📊 Integrates genetic data and spatial brain organization. 🎯 Enables targeted research and precision medicine. 🤔 As a seasoned neuroscientist, I see this as a monumental step that could redefine our approach to brain-related disorders.

CELEBRATE BENDIX DINER. FULL INTERIOR/EXTERIOR RENOVATION. INCREDIBLE BLIND*WAITER*CASHIER OWNER MR. DIAKAKIS. THANK YOU FOR TOP FAN.!

REYGITONIUM-G MR. MS. TEEFEY & SELENA GOMEZ-RARE-SUPERSTAR. TCI GALLERY SPRING 2024 THEMES. CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL. "IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." THUS DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS. THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE. ARE YOU.? HOMELESS.. AN OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD. The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets like factories, mines, and railroads can be privately owned and controlled. https://lnkd.in/eB98Jnv9 GOOGLE EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS. HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED. THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS. REYGITONIUM-G: COUNTRY GOVERNMENT $1-DOLLAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. OR CONTINUE HIDING THE HOMELESS WHEN A POLITICAL LEADER VISITS AMERICA. CLOSING COMMENT: THE DAMNEDEST CRAZIEST FUNNIEST EMBARRASSING ABOUT THE HOMELESS CHAOS IS ANY EXCUSE AS TO WHY HOMELESS EXIST. HENCEFORTH CONSIDER USA TRILLIONS IN DEBT & 6,120 OF HOSPITALS SCATTERED AROUND THE USA & MANY COUNTRIES ASKING FOR FOREIGN AID IN THE TRILLIONS & YOU TALKING EXCUSES.

Santa brought my first paper as first author!🎅📝 This is definitely the best news of 2023, this year will be finished with such a huge relief. Anyone in their PhD path could understand, having the first paper is not just an accomplishment but rather a proof that you are doing right and you are capable of that. So KEEP GOING!!! This is without a doubt a HUGE indication that I can finally put my imposter syndrome behind me! If you're curious about how the brain organises natural scenes, you may also find this study interesting, as our methodology is also a novelty by using EEG measurements. The study tries to close the knowledge gap about the temporal dynamics of how the brain structures natural scenes by integrating neurophysiology and cognitive theory to better understand how the human brain functions in changeable and unpredictable situations. For further reading: https://lnkd.in/eUmN9j36. An extreme appreciation to the best team ever, who are the other shared first authors of this work and this work could have not be possible without them: Dr. Astrid Prochnow and Ms. Xianzhen Zhou and my dearest supervisor: Prof. Christian Beste and the other amazing team members: Prof. Bernhard Hommel, Prof. Veit Roessner and Mr. Paul Wendiggensen. #eeg #cognitivescience #neuroscience #phdlife

During the summer, I had the privilege of interning at the McGovern Institute of Brain Research, located at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). My work focused on studying the genetic aspects of schizophrenia using mice as a model organism. I conducted experiments involving genetic manipulations and surgical modifications to investigate their impact on cognitive function during learning tasks. My responsibilities extended to animal care, allowing me to set up behavioral experiments to assess cognitive changes. Upon collecting data, I utilized MATLAB for data analysis and organization. Our aim was to gain insights into the relationship between genetic factors, structural modifications and cognitive decline or indifference in mice. We believe that by deepening our understanding of schizophrenia in this animal model, we can shed light on the specific brain regions affected in human schizophrenia. I am deeply grateful to Guoping Feng, Dominique Pritchett, and Tingting Zhou for affording me this invaluable opportunity and for their unwavering support and guidance as I pursue a career in neuroscience. #neuroscience #animalresearch #schizophrenia #coding #matlab

Two studies conducted by UCLA investigators provide fresh perspectives on how neurons in the human brain encode the fundamental elements of consciousness—time and space. These are the cornerstone dimensions of our experience, enabling us to recollect the past and imagine the future. By employing specialized depth electrodes, the researchers examined #epilepsy patients, uncovering "place cells" related to spatial awareness and "time cells" involved in understanding temporal aspects. One of the studies demonstrated the independent yet simultaneous functioning of these cells during navigation tasks. Another study revealed that specific neurons maintained consistent temporal patterns regardless of the speed of external stimuli. Two crucial sets of findings emerged: (1) The human brain encompasses specialized cells such as "place cells" and "grid cells" for spatial mapping and "time cells" for tracking temporal sequences. Notably, during navigation in a virtual environment, place cells exhibit a consistent pattern, while time cells demonstrate variability based on the task at hand. This suggests a notable separation between the neuronal dimensions of time and space. (2) The discovery of temporally periodic cells (TPCs) reveals distinct periodic behaviour across various time scales. This unique behavior potentially serves as a metric for understanding both temporal and spatial representations within the brain. https://lnkd.in/efGZGV7F #neuroscience #brainresearch
