@GrubbLab

Our lab is interested in brain development, especially those processes of neuronal maturation which are shaped by electrical activity.

The Brave Little Neuron was formed by a group of friends who wanted to share their scientific #research and make #neuroscience accessible for everyone. Look out for their workshop @EinsteinsGarden @GreenManFest on Friday. @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN @pheereynolds #BraveLittleNeuron

I'm thrilled to share our preprint from the Fleischmann lab! We find molecular signatures of ancestral cortical neurons in the mammalian olfactory cortex. @AlonsoOrGu @spinar_d @davidhbrann @Lab_Tali_Kimchi @Datta_Lab @matosches @CarneyInstitute biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Mammalian olfactory cortex neurons retain molecular signatures of ancestral cell types

The cerebral cortex diversified extensively during vertebrate evolution. Intriguingly, the three-layered mammalian olfactory cortex resembles the cortical cytoarchitecture of non-mammals yet evolved...

Great paper, yet another proof that the fixation you use for your staining can make a huge difference: just look at figures 2 and 7! science.org/doi/full/10.1126…

Glyoxal fixation: An approach to solve immunohistochemical problem in neuroscience research

Glyoxal enhances antibody penetration and antigenicity in neural tissues, making any antigen-exposing techniques unnecessary.

A #NewPI, will I ever be able to recruit an overseas postdoc? First BREXIT, then visa fees going even more insane! 99.9% of the people in my sub-field do not have a British passport!
Martin Smith@martinrsmith14 Jul 2023
The UK is planning on massively increasing visa costs. Currently a researcher looking at a 5-year Global Talent Visa, together with their partner and two children, needs to find £13.4k. All up front. A big ask. But that’s now slated to increase to… **£20.9k**

The efforts and cost required for a lab member to get a visa to visit collaborators in the UK has been crazy. And it is also supremely humiliating for the applicant. Good luck with remaining competitive with such conditions.

Synaptic elimination is essential for neural development. Our new study in mitral cells explains how neurons prune all but one type of synaptic input through synaptic competition. Open access in @Dev_Cell cell.com/developmental-cell/… (1/7)

Activity-dependent local protection and lateral inhibition control synaptic competition in develo...

Fujimoto, Leiwe, Aihara, et al. show that strong glutamatergic inputs to a dendrite trigger local protection and lateral inhibition via NMDARs and RhoA, leading to the pruning of all but just one...

So finally my first ever (!!!) first author is out into the world of BioRxiv summarising my PhD work - Synaptic alterations associated with disrupted sensory encoding in a mouse model of tauopathy. Twitter 🧵 below biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Synaptic alterations associated with disrupted sensory encoding in a mouse model of tauopathy

Synapse loss is currently the best biological correlate of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and other tauopathies. Synapses seem to be highly vulnerable to tau-mediated disruption in neurod...
