Professor of neuroscience @hotchkissbrain. Finding strange ways channels/receptors work. Humanist. Is any tweet truly original that it needs legally claimed?
Our paper is out! nature.com/articles/s4146… With genetic Ca2+ clamping and chemogenetic activation of astrocytes, we show that astrocytes enhance neurovascular coupling when neuronal activation is sustained but not when activation is brief.

On Tuesday March 21, 2023, join the NMHI and Dr. Roger Thompson @neurophy for "NMDA receptors and pannexin-1: Roles in stroke, synapses and a surprising permeability" in the Oborowsky Degner Seminar Hall, located on the 1st floor of the Li Ka Shing Centre.
.@LohmanAW and I are looking to hire a postdoc to study the interaction of stress, cannabinoids and TBI/concussion in rodent models. A background in stress and/or inflammation is ideal. If interested, please send an email with CV to [email protected] Please RT!
The Thompson and Lohman lab”s holiday gathering! Great fun was had.
"It happened because we invested in our national labs and we invested in fundamental research" I hope @JustinTrudeau and all MPs in the 🇨🇦 government are hearing this. Canada is vastly underfunding the fundamental, investigator driven, research ... pbs.org/newshour/scien…
This week is #NationalAddictionsAwarenessWeek across Canada, an initiative run by @CCSACanada to highlight solutions to help address the harms related to alcohol and other drug use. Substance use affects people from all walks of life in every community://bit.ly/3LU83Lt #NAAW2022
