Hello curious people!! I am @weird_neuron and I am a PhD Student at the University of Edinburgh, studying the circuits deficits associated with ASD/ID. Wanna know more? Follow me!!!

[PhD Voice - Independently Run @PhDVoice]

It’s amazing (and by amazing I mean alarming) how many people need a long break after their PhDs.

Is the PhD process really the best way for getting people ready for further employment then?

Really happy to be starting my new lab at the University of Aberdeen. The initial focus in the lab will be on trying to investigate how neurons are affected at the cellular and circuit level in different models of autism. Can’t wait to get going!

The #FENS2022 satellite on Understanding Behaviour organized by @EBBS_Science @IBANGStweets @EurBehavPharm and EMCCS is a great success! Many scientists interested in the most advanced theoretical and technical advances in the field! @FENSorg

Don't miss my poster Tuesday afternoon S06-155 if u wanna learn about social behaviour in #syngap1 haploinsufficiency rat models! @sidb_edinburgh @Syn2Psy @cureSYNGAP1 #FENS2022

[Weird Neuron @weird_neuron]

Looking forward to #FENS2022 tomorrow !! Very excited to learn the last discoveries on neural circuits and behaviour 😁🧠 and meeting so many colleagues!

I feel proud of myself for taking opportunities to learn #R code #coding when I feel a data analysis could be automated. #investingtips #professionaldevelopment

[SYNGAP1 Foundation @Syngap1Fnd]

Our aim, increasing the diagnostic rate for SYNGAP1. The last 7 years we see symptoms mild to severe & milder cases of SYNGAP1 are being missed. Listen to Hana’s story. Her symptoms are mild, as still affects her quality of life.

New study from the lab. Superior colliculus to VTA pathway controls orienting response and influences social interaction. Congratulations to ⁦@AContestabile⁩ ⁦@ClementSolie⁩ and the entire team and thanks to ⁦@carleton_lab⁩ for their help https://t.co/iswnqB7xqD

@TomWatsonNeuro @ATorresHerraez @RondiReigLab So cool!

[Michael Gachomba🏃🏾‍♂️ @MikeGacho]

Here our new preprint "Multimodal cues displayed by submissive rats promote prosocial choices by dominants" https://t.co/3Fo31JHz9m with @CrisMarquezVega lab. We showed that dominance modulates prosocial behaviour in rats by shaping social interactions during decision-making🧵👇🏿
