Congratulations to Brager Lab member, Dr. Lauren Hewitt @ScienceHew on the successful defense of her doctoral dissertation this afternoon!

Celebrating a Neuroscience graduate with research distinction from @BragerLab. Congratulations Kim!

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Clearly the past two years have gotten the better of me. Kim is a Graduate with Distinction for 2022.

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Congratulations to @BragerLab undergraduate research student Kim Pagtama for being named a Graduate with Distinction for 2020! Kim has been a valued and productive member of our lab for over 3 years and will receive her degree in Neuroscience this May.

Congratulations to @BragerLab undergrads Priya Kale and Soham Jadhav for presenting their work on using Golgi staining to look at dendritic spines in the adult hippocampus of Fragile X mice at the UT Undergraduate Research Forum.

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Got official confirmation of our new grant from CDMRP (@CDMRP) to investigate voltage-gated ion channel function in Tuberous Sclerosis. Will be looking for students interested in learning cellular neurophysiology and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Had a meaningful day reminiscing about the life and legacy of Dr. Rick Gray @farmboyrick2. Seeing all the people whose lives Rick touched was so special. A neurophysiology scholarship has been established in his honor - https://t.co/YQ4jKRlJWv (Richard Gray Memorial Scholarship)

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

I wanted to share the sad news of the passing Dr. Rick Gray @farmboyrick2. He was a pillar in the neuroscience community and wonderful colleague to all. He was always generous with his time and knowledge; a more selfless person in science there was not. He will be dearly missed!

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Check out our recent paper published in #JNeurosci looking at dendritic function and long-term plasticity in in Fragile X syndrome. Congratulations to Dr.Greg Ordemann (@gregorcyte) on the final paper from his dissertation. https://t.co/rA2VcGGVOP

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Congratulations Dr. Ordemann! Greg Ordemann @gregorcyte successfully defended his dissertation and is the first INS student to graduate from the Brager Lab @BragerLab. So proud of all the work you did to get this far and looking forward to seeing all your future exciting work.

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Congratulations to Brager Lab graduate student Lauren Hewitt @ScienceHew on getting her first paper "High and low expression of the hyperpolarization activated current (Ih) in mouse CA1 stratum oriens interneurons" accepted at Physiological Reports @PhysRep

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Congratulations to Brager Lab @BragerLab member Lauren Hewitt @ScienceHew for winning a University Graduate Continuing Fellowship. A well deserved acknowledgment of academic and research success!

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Check out our latest paper in @JNeurophysiol on regulation of K channels by FMRP. https://t.co/KUofYjFMsr It is always great when lab members move on but still help you get that last paper out. Thanks @KalmbachsCortex

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Congratulations to Brager Lab @BragerLab graduate student Lauren Hewitt @ScienceHew for adapting virtual seminars in the time of COVID and delivering an exceptional INS dialogues talk!

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Our paper looking at how dendrites and ion channels are impacted by the loss of FMRP in Fragile X syndrome was just published in #JNeurosci. Thanks to everyone on the project for their persistence and hard work. https://t.co/EmzFSPuD41

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Congratulations to Sydney Fischer and Noor Rana on receiving an Undergraduate Research Fellowship from UT for their work in the lab on dendritic spine morphology in Fragile X syndrome.

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Greg just gave a great talk to graduate student recruits illustrating why just because your initial hypothesis is incorrect, doesn't mean the project stops.

[Brager Lab @BragerLab]

Had a great time at UT Brainstorms sitting on the panel with @ColginLab, @TheDrewLab @ScienceHew and our speaker Boris Zemelman
