S.ChenLab uOttawa just gave an amazing talk showing activation of Npas4 in Sst cells blocks it's activity in M1 and resulted in weakening of Sst inputs and motor learning. Very cool!

I am very glad that I had the opportunity to partake at CSMOpto's Fibre Photometry Workshop 2023 at UCalgary! 🙂 A great event organized by Alexander Lohman tfuzesi Leo Molina Taylor Chomiak Andrew Boyce Doric Lenses Inc. and great lectures and support by Andréanne Lavoie & Kate Martian !

I’m pretty overdue but this photo reminds me of this exciting day when I had a chance to moderate the trainee talks along with Léa Caya-Bissonnette, PhD at Centre for Neural Dynamics Research Spotlight organized by uOBMRI, & enjoy a beautiful talk by Nelson Spruston back in September!

Lab lunch before the lunar new year to celebrate the lab's new grant funding 😁 and also a group photo in front of the beautiful Ottawa Sign The ByWard Market uOBMRI uOttawaCMM uOttawa | Faculté de médecine, Faculty of Medicine

Interested in short-term plasticity? Our recent findings have just been published! With @Neuronaud Katalin Toth Julian Rossbroich Online: cell.com/cell-reports/f… 1/10

Congratulations to John Beninger Richard Naud lab for this fantastic work!!! 🎉🍾

Check it out! 🧐 We used our recently developed Snca-NLS mouse to map alpha-synuclein topography throughout the adult mouse brain, spinal cord, retina, and gut. ✨Pretty images below: nature.com/articles/s4153…

New paper from the lab: Genetic and pharmacological reduction of CDK14 mitigates synucleinopathy. Congratulations to to all of those involved and thanks to Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s and CIHR for the support. uOBMRI uOttawa | Faculté de médecine, Faculty of Medicine nature.com/articles/s4141…

My lab in collaboration with Drs Mirzavand @ualberta & Ryait ULethbridge has few open positions in R&D initiatives concerning wireless systems that offer monitoring of behaviour and brain activity in humans and animals. Please retweet! rb.gy/2c3l87

I'm very glad to hear about the Federal Budget 2024! Exciting new funding for research; 🔬 Boosting core research grants for SSHRC, NSERC, & CIHR &🎓 Elevating scholarships & fellowships. Special thanks to MP Maxime Blanchette-Joncas for supporting science and research! #SRSR #ScienceAdvocacy

What can make a science day even taste better? … FRIENDS! :) A big shoutout to my lab mates Nate Jones & Minh Tran from S.ChenLab uOttawa for winning the best PhD and MSc poster award on uOBMRI Brain health Research Day 2024! 🔥

Great people, science, and of course such a BEAUTIFUL city! at #FENS 2024 in Vienna Austria. Such an amazing experience on multiple levels 😊 S.ChenLab uOttawa #Neuroscience

Just had the chance to share what I learned at #BrainConference Circuits for Movement at our weekly S.ChenLab uOttawa lab meeting. Reminded me what an incredible experience it was! Shout out to the amazing organizing team ~~~ #FENS @Lundbeckfonden Ole Kiehn The Brain Prize

Fantastic line-up of speakers. Join us for a two-day symposium on motor control across species and across scales organized by our CRC1451 early career researchers. motormastery.splashthat.com
