We have a new preprint! Here we examined the effects of locus coeruleus (LC)-originated pretangle stage tau (Braak a-c, 1a-b) in rat using AAV-htauE14, and first expressed at the human equivalent age of young adulthood. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… 🧵
Thank you @SwiftNeuroLab (Memorial U) and all CAN/ACN representatives meeting in Ottawa today to assert the need for increased trainee support and increased funding for Canadian neuroscience research. #CANDayOnTheHill #cdnpoli #canfundscience #neuroscience
Thank you @McDonald4Avalon for meeting with Canadian brain scientists and your support for science @SwiftNeuroLab @dr_swayne @Ciaran_MR #CANDayOnTheHill #cdnpoli #canfundscience #neuroscience
Big congratulations Ashlyn and @SwiftNeuroLab ! Honoured to be working with this crew of fiercely talented researchers and excited to begin work on such a meaningful ASD project!
SO excited to share our CIHR grant was successful!
Even more excited to get started on this research into mechanisms underlying sex bias in neurodevelopment disorders w @WallingNeuroLab @Jjblundell123 @deepakkaushiik & Dr. Lindsay Cahill
Will be hiring at all levels! Please RT

New paper for those interested in aging, and sex differences at the medial entorhinal-dentate gyrus synapse. Much work dedicated to the approaches to the analysis of paired pulse and tetanic MPP-DG EP variables in 5-9 and 18-20mo male and female rats. 🧵eneuro.org/content/10/7/ENEU…
Congratulations on your convocation, Amelia! 🎉🎓👏 What a pleasure and privilege it has been working with you. We're all excited for you in your next adventure (we will miss you!) @AmeliaTJones_Ca

Well done @taloeffler and Livyer's Line @MUNFaculty! (and those Sign Cords 😮) #FairDealAtMUN #FairDealAtMUNL
Today's blockbuster from the Livyer's Line has me sharing my NL picket sign improvement to prevent wind injuries. I know that windchill is the mother of invention. Our picket line choreography & ability to withstand the chill gets stronger each day. #FairDealAtMUNL #FairDealAtMUN

Day #1 Team 8am Psyc vs Day #4 Team 8am Psyc. I think the students are after having a bit of fun now making the signs 😂 (I wanted to keep mine!) #FairDealAtMUN
Interested in normal aging of entorhinal-DG input? We have short preprint examining in vivo plasticity in both sexes. Some new takes on field potent. analyses; intrinsic excitability, E-S coupling, NMDA current, PPI/PPF. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We're celebrating our Liv who passed her comprehensive exams yesterday (and who I think even had a little bit of fun while she was at it). Congratulations, Olivia Dutton, PhD Candidate! We're looking forward to what's next on the horizon :) (Jovie can't wait either :) 👏🧠🎉
We are presenting our work remotely at IBNS. If you're there please stop in at our posters examining DG plasticity changes in normal aging (205) and behavioural and physiological changes in LC-originated pretangle stage Alzheimer's disease (206) #tremendousFOMO #IBNSconnect
A unique position in academic sciences being offered in the Dept of Biochemistry (MUNL, St. John's, Newfoundland). Innovative and forward thinking @MunBiochemistry

This beauty flew in for a visit to campus yesterday and became an instant celebrity. Terrific photo @TWChapman1 #greathornedowl #StJohns #NewfoundlandandLabrador
Same as last image (taken on phone), just cropped and brightened it a bit today. Only about eight feet up, but without the crows I would never have noticed her, she really blends in with the bark, eh?

Well didn’t we have a good bit of fun last week visiting Dr. Ben Zendel’s CAANL lab (Faculty of Medicine, MUN). Here our Liv (PhD student) gets dolled up by Ben to be her very own guinea pig. @odutton @newfrontierforus @collaborational @translational

Had the first 'in-person' lab meeting today since March 2020. It was ‘mini’-sadly not everyone yet. Grad students/RA exempted for work- masked, distanced in a room that we fit the capacity limits. Major milestone! #HoldFastNL, #getthejab when you can, and #moremilestoneswillcome
From a few of us on the rock in the middle of the Atlantic (Newfoundland), our recent review of the locus coeruleus and Braak's pretangle stage tau in aging and risk of Alzheimer's disease. authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti… #locuscoeruleus #bluespot @AlzCanada @CIHR_IRSC
Very nice work! @DinoDvorak
bioRxiv viewer disq.us/t/3qjvczi This is a pretty great story! Started by wondering how the hippocampus network can switch between encoding and retrieval modes of info processing. The indefatigable & talented @DinoDvorak hunted down the answer: MEC-originating dentate spike
