Our new Methods manuscript describing dynamic clamp electrophysiology was recently published. We will add a companion video within a few weeks. The sample experiments involve rescuing firing deficits in Tsc1-deleted Purkinje neurons. https://t.co/HG3EDWeyyn
A study long in the making! Initiated at WashU and completed at Miami, our work demonstrates that the functional role of ion channel proteins can differ significantly depending on the type of neuron in which they are expressed.
We're HIRING!!

It's time to honor #Mizzou's 2025 Kemper Fellows.
Our second 2025 William T. Kemper Fellow: Pamela Brown from @MizzouAandS!
Join the #Mizzou community and @CommerceBank in congratulating Pamela!

TSC1 LOF mutations are monogenic causes of ASD. Mice with Purkinje neuron-specific Tsc1 deletion have several ASD-like behaviors. Here, Sam and Achintya (co 1st-authors) show these PNs have problems with AP firing due to a loss of Na+ channels at the AIS https://t.co/feUavuhhXB
Of no major consequence of course, but a quick mention that I have moved over to #Bluesky if anyone is interested. Still only rarely posting, and almost exclusively scientific/academic content. Stay well. https://t.co/gg4oEmW8bb
Hidden Music 🎶🪲
For 30 years, #Mizzou biologist Rex Cocroft has studied treehoppers — a plant-feeding insect species — and how they signal each other through vibrations.

My tribute to the wonderful PhD students with whom I’ve worked is to add their diss. seminar trifold to the “shelf of scholars” in my office. CONGRATS to Dr. Sherryl Henderson for defending her thesis this morning!! I am proud to call you my colleague and friend. @MizzouBiology
TIGERS! THANK YOU for all the generous donations on #MizzouGivingDay!
Because of your gifts, you help support world-class education for our students & help facilitate amazing research. Thank you, again, for your support!! You are AMAZING!!

At @SFN23,
Sam Brown presented his dynamic clamp experiments showing the resurgent sodium current (INaR) does not affect the firing rates of central neurons. Instead, INaR tunes the availability of persistent sodium current. Check out the preprint: https://t.co/HielsNdTdZ
Dr. Chiswili Yves Chabu is researching a unique bacteria-based treatment for drug-resistant pancreatic cancer. Join us for a free event at noon on Nov. 7 to learn how the strategy might improve care for the half million patients diagnosed each year. https://t.co/SHnJd8BUcz
