Super excited to host Orie Shafer this week University of Florida Department of Neuroscience UF McKnight Brain Institute and to hear the latest about sleep homeostasis from his lab CUNY ASRC

What an outstanding work! Thanks for sharing it with us, Orie!

Great to see my PhD advisor Orie Shafer here FLORIDA. Great talk and great science as always. Thank you Alfonso Martin Peña for inviting him!

A FLORIDA-led global research team reports evidence linking a new genetic mutation to greater risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The finding was published in The Lancet Neurology. Read more: bit.ly/4aOGxtR

Tavel awards for PhD students attending Neurofly!

With FB2024_03, we added another 150 images to the #FrequentlyUsedGAL4DriversTable flybase.org/GAL4/freq_used…. This resource now includes 337 GAL4 alleles: the 150 most-ordered from BDSC and/or those used in at least 20 publications. 90% of alleles in the table now have images

awesome collab with Janelia GENIE to get jGCaMP8 sensors that are better expressed & brighter in fly - while still retaining those kickass kinetics!!! at BDSC & if you want to make your own lines at Addgene - enjoy!

Happy birthday to renowned neuropsychologist Brenda Milner, who is celebrating her 106th birthday today! 🎈 🎁 While she may not count her age among her many achievements, in this video she did share a few thoughts (and a bit of folklore) about birthdays past and present.

Congrats to 2024's Summer Neuroscience Internship Program and NEURON-Aging students, who presented their final projects today. The two programs provide undergrads with research mentors and offer hands-on experience in the lab. Learn more: bit.ly/4bZvpe6

Wowzers! Congratulations to Hannah Strothers and her mentor Alfonso Martin Peña for her #firstplace Longterm Project award today at the University of Florida Department of Neuroscience #SNIP Poster Session 🤓💪🏼 #TNF #Drosophila

I couldnt be prouder of Hannah Strother. She joined my group year and a half ago. In this time, she has grown immensely and on her last day w/ us she culminated her growth winning the First Place Presentation Award for her summer research project #SNIP #TheTanseyLegacy #Vamos! 💪🏻

The UF Department of Neuroscience, along with our neurology partners, is proud to be ranked No. 3 nationally among all universities (public & private) in NIH funding. #UFNeuro
