"Sleep-wake related changes in intracellular chloride regulate plasticity at glutamatergic cortical synapses" is now out at @CurrentBiology (1/5 )https://t.co/SynO4rcmDW

[Atreyi Chakrabarty @AtreyiChak]

Take a punt on shunting inhibition - GABA signalling is primarily thought of as hyperpolarising. But in an awake brain, it is primarily shunt-y! Check out the brand new preprint by @RichBur 🧠🥳

[Richard Burman @RichBur]

Thrilled to announce the release of our new preprint. Here we show how fast synaptic inhibition adapts to the level of cortical activity and demonstrate why this could be an important feature of how cortical networks process information. https://t.co/xw0eWFofx3

Did you know that when you're sleepy, different parts of the brain, even individual neurons, have different levels of "tiredness"? @alfonsahannah shows how chloride changes in neurons across wake and sleep map on to this localised tiredness #neuroscience #sleep #AcademicTwitter

[Hannah Alfonsa @alfonsahannah]

Intraneuronal chloride levels encode tiredness in cortex https://t.co/BNqpBxyLPb

On the topic of COVID vaccines - we can see the effects of big pharma monopolies on global vaccine shortages already...do you think we should be waiving the World Trade Organisation patent rules?

Saw a beloved local cafe take down their sign today, while deliveroo riders crowded around the chains. Made me think twice about my choices. Where you get your coffee or your Saturday night takeaway from matters. #supportlocalBusiness
