Proud of our eLife paper where we use an integrated ephys and Ca2+ imaging scope, to record the activity of cerebellar and anterior cingulate neurons during social interaction. Kudos to Sung Won Hur and Karen Safaryan who led this project. doi.org/10.7554/eLife.… eLife - the journal

Congratulations to The Brain Prize winners 2024: Larry Abbott, @Sejnowski, and Haim Sompolinsky They have pioneered the field of computational and theoretical neuroscience and have made seminal contributions to our understanding of the principles that govern the brain’s

NEW PREPRINT! Led by Susie Yu Feng, we characterized memory impairment and entorhinal-hippocampal desynchronization in epileptic mice. We found early hippocampal deficits and late-onset MEC deficits that emerged with progressively worse cognitive impairment. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Incredible how much stuff you need to set up in vivo imaging experiments with olfactory memory behavior in 🐁 !! Especially for surgeries! The list keeps growing but 1.5 years later aaaaaalmost everything is here.

Couldnt speak highly enough of this PI and lab. Apply people!

Another awesome lab and PI to apply to, people! Plus you get to live in groovy Toronto! :)

So grateful to have Brain Canada and Azrieli Foundation support my very first steps in establishing my research into how voltage imaging can literally shed light on schizophrenia-driven misfiring of neurons.

I have followed the development of this amazing 2P miniscope from Day1 by Blake Madruga’s tireless efforts and constant drive for innovation. This is an incredible technological feat.

So great to get to hang with old friends and new at #CNS2024.

Congratulations to AdamR for getting the Brain Star award! 🧠 ⭐️ I m very excited to have you join our lab this summer!!

So stoked to finally have lab meetings with the new team! It still blows my mind that I am actually running a lab now The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) ! Like with students and postdocs and all! Crazy!

Great talk by Brain Star Awardee (and upcoming Taxidis-lab postdoc! Yay!) Adam Ramsaran AdamR on controlling engram formation in young mice. The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) CAN ACN

So fun hosting my UCLA mentor Peyman Golshani at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and hanging out with Katrina Choe. Feels like full circle to make the introductions for your old boss instead of the other way around.

The Taxidis lab had its first social, to kick off this summer in style! So grateful to have this wonderful team around me during the whole lab-setup whirlwind! 🙂🐁🔬

Third day undercover at #ISOT2024, they still havent found out i dont really work on olfaction... Huge thanks to rodriguez-carleton-labs for inviting me to their great symposium with Izumi Fukunaga and Nixon Abraham. And special thanks to Iceland for being so majestic! ISOT2024-Reykjavik

So thrilled and grateful to receive a NSERC / CRSNG Discovery Grant! These funds will support my awesome grad student Keira_TWL researching the role of VIP cells in sculpting memory-related hippocampal dynamics! (Turns out I could have announced this a month ago!)

First 2 posters of the Taxidis lab went up at the The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) Summer Research (SSuRe) Symposium! Such a joy mentoring Felicia Liu (NSERC / CRSNG USRA awardee) + Ron Reitman (UROP awardee) over the summer. Both super productive! Summer students can really make a difference! 🙏

Attend workshops featuring some of the brightest minds in neuromodulation at this year's CRANIA Conference on Oct 24-25th. Early bird pricing ends this week. Get your tickets today: bit.ly/4d16ubp

Such pleasure co-mentoring Conor throughout his PhD journey all the way to this super exciting manuscript! 2P CA1 imaging+DREADDs, 2P MEC/LEC axonal imaging (!!), mouse behavior and more. He found that BTSP doesn’t just create place fields, but odor fields too (+ EC is crucial).

Awesome talk by Mark Brandon, PhD. yesterday on head direction cells, Alzheimer’s and much more. It was a great pleasure hosting him for the U of T Physiology seminar series.
