Very excited about our latest publication, which was spearheaded by @MsEllenKoch, who recently successfully defended her PhD thesis! Learn more about the article and Ellen here!
A new research paper from @MsEllenKoch in the @LynnRaymondLab examines how brain activity is altered during behavioural tasks in Huntington disease. Learn more about Ellen and her research in our latest trainee spotlight: centreforbrainhealth.ca/news…

Some of our latest work in collaboration with @vangreenmouse and @mohajerani77 explores cortical processing of sensory information in HD and reveals aberrantly increased activation in response to sensory stimulation. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Excited to share our latest paper - a 5-point manifesto for psychological care for people with #HuntingtonsDisease - out now as #OpenAccess in the Journal of Personalized Medicine: mdpi.com/1439242 HD is more than just a brain disorder, and our care needs to reflect this!

Fiber photometry experiments today - @MsEllenKoch is recording neural activity from spiny projection neurons in the dorsal striatum! The green is the direct pathway, and the red is the indirect pathway @TDTneuro #neuroscience #NeuroTwitter

Big congratulations to @CameronWoodard for successfully completing his thesis and obtaining his PhD! 👏👏👏
Well, I'm officially a doctor after ~6 years of graduate work, so that's pretty neat. You can check out my thesis here, if ~200 pages of mice pulling levers sounds like it's up your alley: open.library.ubc.ca/cIRcle/c…

Our senior PhD student, Ellen, will be presenting her in vivo work at #SfNConnectome21 tomorrow! She is exploring how activity in the dorsal striatum correlates with motor learning and spontaneous behaviour, and how this is affected in HD mice.
Looking forward to hearing about all the latest neuroscience research at #SfNConnectome21 starting tomorrow! I'll be presenting our work imaging striatal activity during motor learning and spontaneous behaviour in HD mouse models! @LynnRaymondLab cdmcd.co/dEZEMb

The joys of moving the lab... 😄
Moved buildings in July, the scopes are in the lab somewhere...
