one ion channel subunit, many faces. our preprint shows that multiple K conductances in 🐭vestibular hair cells require Kv1.8/Kcna10 --> Kv1.8-null hair cells generate larger and slower voltage⚡️ responses, which may impair fast detection of head motions

during this project, I loved getting to know "gK,L" --> gK,L is the low-voltage-activated K conductance that passes heaps of K from type I hair cells into the calyx cleft --> read more about non-quantal transmission here: doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2207466…

How does the octopus nervous system control its 8 wiggly uber-flexible arms and integrate information from all those suckers? Possibly, by modularity, suckerotopy, and cooperation between segments of the axial nerve cord ⬇️ nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I also want to encourage academia-bound underrepresented neuroscientists in their PhD stage to apply for this awesome opportunity! I have earned 2 years of funding for the rest of my PhD up to 4 years of funding for my Postdoc! Happy to help any applicants seeking advice :)

Honored to finally announce the best news I’ve gotten in my PhD so far- I have been awarded the NINDS F99/K00 D-SPAN!!!! My first fellowship(!) & first grant of many as I work towards starting my own lab investigating neural mechanisms of visceral pain. (Thread!!)

Our napping, memory, and Down syndrome paper was just published in PNAS. Napping REM does not support memory consolidation in Down syndrome children. Great work Spanò, Edgin and Company. This is also my first human study! There is life beyond the rodent. pnas.org/content/early/2018/…

Check out this beautiful video from one of our #OpenScope projects! All panels were recorded simultaneously. The top plane are dendrites in the brain's top layer. The bottom row shows activity in a deeper layer of the brain – layer 5.

New print Myelination out today and available via link below. This pretty pretty process of glia wrapping their membranes around axons not only makes our brains faster and more efficient.

After five years of hard work, I'm SO excited to share my first-ever first-author paper in the @Sheffield_Lab! We went into this project with a simple question: how do we regulate contextual fear memories? 1/17

A new study reveals a non-opioid pain relief pathway using acetylcholine! Targeting the ⍺7 receptor offers analgesic effects comparable to opioids, minus the addiction risks. A game-changer in pain management.
