neuroscience research @ University of Bristol; synapses, circuits, brain maturation & degeneration

[Mike Ashby @ashbylab]

delighted our latest paper reached its final form - incredible job from @DrSorayaM showing with biochemistry, anatomy, slice & in vivo whole cell recordings how synaptic changes coincide with altered sensory coding in cortex of mice affected by #tauopathy https://t.co/7Uer8mwkF5

@TeamBathNetball link seems to go to last year's details - can you re-post please @TeamBathNetball ?

[Marc Aurel Busche @marcaurelbusche]

Where does Alzheimer’s begin in the brain? Our new study in @NeuroCellPress reveals that earliest changes start deep in cortical layers 5/6, selectively affecting parvalbumin interneurons via reduced NPTX2 & GluA4. Restoring NPTX2 reversed deficits. https://t.co/OJqu6Q2RTe

[Oscar Marín @MarinLab]

1/10 Our latest research, led by @MartijnSelten, identifies a mechanism through which Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons regulate their activity in the #cortex. This is the story @Nature https://t.co/HvYAZe9LZc 🧵⬇︎ @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN @ERC_Research @RosetreesT

Excited to start my role as @britishneuro.bsky.social BNA President at #BNA2025!

Thanks @tspiresjones.bsky.social for serving as President over the last two years. A hard act to follow! Thx also for your service as Immediate Past President for the next two years. 🙏

[UK Dementia Research Institute @UKDRI]

Researchers led by Dr Claire Durrant have used living human brain tissue to show for the first time how a toxic protein in Alzheimer’s can damage synapses👏

The team hope the cutting-edge tool could help accelerate the development of new treatments👉https://t.co/VNlRkZ1CpP

🎉 That's a wrap on #BNA2025! 🇬🇧

This year's International Festival of #Neuroscience in Liverpool, UK was a resounding success, and #FENS is thankful to have been able to join alongside @EJNeuroscience Editor-in-Chief John Foxe (@JohnnyFoxe).

🧠 Over the last 3 days, we had to chance to dive into the ground-breaking #BrainResearch going in the UK and connect with inspiring and committed #neuroscientists from around the world. 🌍

Thanks to @BritishNeuro for all the fun – we're already looking forward to #BNA2027 in Belfast! 🌟
