Please register for the FREE Virtual Glia Trainee Symposium on 12-13 March 2021. Very excited to give the opening talk at 10:15 am on Müller Glia sporadic radial burst of coordinated activity. Thanks for organizing this @Dr_Oligo &  @neuro_runnerd. https://t.co/tzIbqxBrig

Just released: New AI Climate Simulator that you can play with. Visualize how geoengineering can slow global warming.

There is no longer any path to limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (Paris Agreement), unless we use geoengineering. Reflecting 1% of sunlight away from earth would lead to an extra ~1 degree of cooling.

Our simulator lets you explore how geoengineering via Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI) gives us new paths to keep warming to 1.5 degrees. I think SAI is a promising technology worth serious exploration. Check out the simulator here: https://t.co/OxtaQMyDuL

Big thanks to collaborators @jeremy_irvin16, Jake Dexheimer, @dakotagruener, Charlotte DeWald, @DanVisioni, @DWatsonParris, @DougMacMartin, Joshua Elliott, Juerg Luterbacher, Kion Yaghoobzadeh

@PhD_Genie 😎 👁️ 🦠 🔬🚦

[Cyril Eleftheriou @cizNew]

Ok. This is scary good #ChatGPT but you need to learn more about Melanopsin physiology and photonics 😛

@NeuroErinPhD @overheardsfn @sfnbanter Ppl will over inflate their h index

[Cyril Eleftheriou @cizNew]

@NYCASP Thanks for the extra time on a Monday morning. Made it count 🥰

[Cyril Eleftheriou @cizNew]

@morvencameron @netty_allen Really cool study! And Kudos for coming in at midnight to do those recordings… I remember how unnerving it can be all alone in that building!

[Cyril Eleftheriou @cizNew]

XLRS is considered a structural disease because retina splits. Using novel imaging tools, we now know the dysfunction is also functional. Structural and functional pathophysiology appear in development, offering a potential therapeutic window.

[Cyril Eleftheriou @cizNew]

Delighted our paper is out @ JNeuro Reviewers and editors contributed to much stronger version of the study!

TLDR: Neuronal and glial aberrant activity appears in retina during development in mouse model of XLRS, when glutamate synapses mature 🧵

[Cyril Eleftheriou @cizNew]

We also found ripples of glial activity (🎇 >7min), propagated by Muller cells, transverse glia of the retina. We could replicate them by perfusing ouabain (Na/K-ATPase inhibitor) on our preps
