@MaximeJHubert Thanks Max😊

[Ashleigh Goodenough @Ash_Goodenough]

Very exciting to see this published and to see my name on a paper for the first time!

[Ashleigh Goodenough @Ash_Goodenough]

@SehajSingh94 Thank you! 😊

A paper published in @naturemethods describes a ‘hybrid’ open-top light-sheet microscope that can be used for broad multi-scale volumetric imaging of one or more large tissues. https://t.co/1nWWNzwsSu

NETWORK is festival ready! All neurones firing and excited for its first gig @DeerShed with thanks to @GlowInflatables and @KwokLab for the scientific guidance linked through @LeedsAHWN Hoping to spark curiosity about #neuroscience especially for #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth

I also really enjoyed Ed Munro’s keynote talk about neural tube closure in #ascidians despite knowing absolutely nothing about the area

(Hashimoto et al. 2015)

Went to my first international conference: #EESmechanobiology in #Heidelberg and it was excellent fun! Thank you to @EMBO|@EMBL for organising and thanks to everyone who chatted to me about their work and also who came to my poster ☀️

Want your children to learn about neurons in a fun way? 🧠

Check out our video and our downloadable board game... BRAIN BATTLE!

Can your neuron win?! 🏆

Another year, another stop-motion explaining PNNs...
Also, definitely try the board game we made (link below)!

After you die, some cells in your brain keep growing and there is actually an increase in expression of #zombiegenes...

What do you know this as? The Wavy Bacon? The Wiggly Lines? Since its installation in 2014, 'Sign for Art' has become a landmark for meeting up at the University.

Some even say it’s good luck to walk through this sculpture before an exam...

But do you know what it represents?

Happy #neuroscience Halloween!

Look how incredible this PNN staining in the brain is... Amazing work @NatalieDoody

[Dr Natalie Doody @NatalieDoody]

...Every single blue and red dot in this brain image is a PNN! 🕸

PNNs are really important for helping us remember things 🧠💡

[Dr Natalie Doody @NatalieDoody]

Hello, I’m Natalie from the @KwokLab at the University of Leeds and today I’m going to tell you about ‘spider webs’ in the brain for the #GlobalScienceShow spooky special! 🧠🕸

Follow this thread for some spooky science and a fun activity to try at home using Halloween sweets 🎃

Commissural axons crossing the midline of the CNS are quite funky, aren't they?😎 #growthcone #axonguidance @UZH_Science
