So proudly to share our latest work on @CellReports from Balbi lab. We investigated how brain function was rescued by induced gamma oscillations after stroke. Thank you for the greatest support and guidance from my supervisor @matildebalbi and everyone contribute to the paper!

📣 First research paper from the lab led by ⭐ @congwang1111 out now @CellReports. Using in vivo electrophysiology we show how brain oscillations in the gamma range rescue functional synaptic plasticity acutely after stroke. @QldBrainInst sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

ALT Graphical Illustration made by @turquoise.kannu (Instagram handle) with the text: “Apply for NMA 2022! Registrations are now open”. There are four cartoons, one with a scientist showing a video, another one with a student connected with her PC from the lab with a microscope on a table close to her, another cartoon with a student connected with his child under his arm, and another one with a student connected with a cat close-by. The four illustrations are connected by two black neuron’s dendrites, depicted as dashed lines.
