Very happy to see a key part of my PhD research published 🔬🎉

I'm excited to share my new post on @focalplane_jcs where I explore the powerful role of microscopy in neuroscience, and how we can use different imaging approaches to study synaptic connections in the brain. focalplane.biologists.com/2025/06/23/ill…

Excited to share my first post as a correspondent for @focalplane_jcs I had the pleasure of interviewing @bcompans where we dove into the fascinating world of super-resolution microscopy and explored his inspiring journey from academia to industry. focalplane.biologists.com/2025/05/07/int…

Having a bit of fun before Christmas and enjoying postdoc life🎄Happy #FluorescentFriday ✨

So happy to celebrate FOUR PhD graduates from our @dev_neuro department at the @KingsCollegeLon graduation ceremony, with @sciwithrach, Martyna, @Shorton_Neuro and Olivia. Congratulations to everyone. @KingsIoPPN @KCL_MRCDTP @MRC_CNDD

Are you interested in the development of the human brain? Funded by @wellcometrust we are recruiting two postdoctoral researchers (ephys, scRNAseq, molecular biology) to investigate the formation of inhibitory circuits in humans. Please RT!

2 Lab technician positions open in my lab at King's College London. We study neural circuits of cognitive behaviour in mice. More about our research here khanlab.net Please apply! Senior lab technician: kcl.ac.uk/jobs/087925-se… Lab technician: kcl.ac.uk/jobs/087926-la…

Thrilled to see this work published! Led by the amazing @Shorton_Neuro, we show a tight correlation in E and I along dendrites during circuit wiring. Check it out! @GuiVSNeves @vimast86 @rj_neuro @wellcometrust @BBSRC @dev_neuro @MRC_CNDD @KingsIoPPN doi.org/10.1016/j.celr…

In our newest episode of Neuroverse, we were joined by @rj_neuro to discuss tools used to study synapses, particularly their function and dynamics, and how this applies to her research. Listen to find out more about synaptosomes and more! 👩‍🔬🧠🔬🎙️open.spotify.com/episode/6z7B5K…

It was so much fun being a guest on @Neuroverse_Pod, thanks for inviting me @C_FonsecaSoares and @Lenherr_C! If you're interested in methods to study synapses check out this episode!

New preprint from @Shorton_Neuro @jbneuro et al

Excitatory and inhibitory synapses form a tight subcellular balance along dendrites that decorrelates over development biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_neursci

Join us for our Internal Seminar tomorrow to hear the latest from Dr Sally Horton @Shorton_Neuro (@jbneuro lab): “Excitatory and inhibitory synapses show a tight subcellular correlation that weakens over development” 🗓️ 1pm, Wednesday 1st May 📍 G8, NHH See you there.

Thank you 🎉

Delighted to share that I passed my PhD viva yesterday 🎉Thank you to my examiners @SabineLeviCnrs and Simon Butt @Interneuron_Dev for the enjoyable discussion, and to the @jbneuro lab for all of their support over the last three years!

Multi-synaptic boutons are a feature of CA1 hippocampal connections in the stratum oriens cell.com/cell-reports/f… Our latest paper is out! Great collaboration combining EM, super resolution and modelling. @jbneuro

And that’s a wrap! Thanks to everyone that came along. Now to enjoy the rest of the conference #BNA2023

There are some familiar faces on the @newscientist live website! 🤩 Check out all the amazing speakers (and book ur tickets) here live.newscientist.com/speakers

A great first day at #BNA2023, and a successful rapid-fire talk! Thanks to all that came along! Don’t forget to come and chat at my poster today, 1.50-3.30 in Zone 3.
