Meet the newly discovered brain cell that allows you to remember objects.
Scientists at @UBCmedicine have discovered a new type of brain cell, called ovoid cells, that plays a central role in our ability to remember and recognize objects.

Congratulations to PNI's @Cate_cholamine on earning the 2024 Tianqiao and Chrissy Chen Young Investigator Award from @SfNtweets!
Peña, who studies how early-life stress alters brain development, is the first @Princeton professor to receive the award.

Sure, SfN is great, but have you ever considered virtually attending my public defense at 1:30 Central / 2:30 Eastern on Friday, December 1st
(register here: tinyurl.com/monari-defense)
(Bingo for in-person attendees only)
Bestie & badass behaviourist @AdrienneKinman is presenting her work investigating a unique hippocampal cell type that responds to novelty!
If you like miniscopes, optogenetics, and cool science go see her poster so nice she’s presenting it twice!
Also, check out @RebekahRashford presenting her super cool work using epigenetic manipulations in the NAc to mimic the effects early life stress! Wednesday at 8:45-9:00am! (NANO73.04, Room 152A)
Catch me presenting my work exploring cell-type-specific roles in fear memory at SfN, Tuesday at 1:45-2:00pm
(NANO69.04, Room 144B)
I promise there will be pretty pictures!
If you are a late-stage PhD student, consider signing up for this opportunity from @UUNeurobiology to give a talk, plus learn from and connect with lots of cool scientists!
Can’t put into words how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with this group of amazing scientists and new friends these past few days! Huge thank you to all involved at @UUNeurobiology for putting this event together!
We had a fantastic time hosting our 2023 class of Rising Stars in Neuroscience.
Be on the lookout for this amazing group of scientists and leaders in our neuro community!
Thank you to everyone @UUNeurobiology who help make this event happen!
