Excited for the 2024 Hypothalamus GRC meeting! Amazing scientific stories this week. #HypoGRC @JacksonLabUConn @Profa_Correa @Neurrriot
Thirst and sodium appetite research is alive and well at @SSIBsociety. Thanks to the PC for organizing the symposium. #ssib2024
Go Brenda Milner! 106!!!
In the 1950s Brenda Milner changed the course of 🧠brain science by identifying the specific brain region crucial to memory formation and by identifying multiple memory systems. Today we celebrate her 106th! Happy Birthday Brenda Milner!🎂🎉 mcgill.ca/x/wYY
The '2024 Denis Richard International Symposium - The Heterogeneity of Obesity' will be held November 15. Look at this amazing lineup of speakers who have generously accepted to join us to celebrate the legacy of Denis!🤩Stay tuned for more details! @IUCPQ
This terific, inspiring and hopefully yearly event was held in advance of National Indigenous Peoples Day by the Brain Repair and Integrative Neuroscience (BRaIN) Program @Brainrimuhc of the @RIMUHC1 @mcgillu @mcgill rimuhc.ca/en/-/an-invita…
Passing of the "hockey stick". A CAN tradition is maintained as current President Adriana Di Polo passes the leadership of CAN to incoming President Melanie Woodin. #CAN2024
🚨Job alert! 🚨 We have a unique and exciting postdoctoral opportunity for investigating the genetic basis of natural variation in sociability using flies 🪰 and mice 🐭 Join us at @McMasterPNB! Thank you 🙏 for sharing widely!

Loss of a giant in the field. Such sad news
It is with an unbelievably heavy heart that I write that my husband, best friend, and partner in crime for 20 years, Larry Young, passed away unexpectedly. I will share details regarding a memorial service once I know something. Please share with those who knew Larry @lyoun03
I’m looking forward to speaking at this @CAN_ACN satellite event in May! Many thanks to @MarkCembrowski and @Franklandlab for organizing!

congrats!
Curious how the brain changes to help one avoid a bully? Happy to share our new work published today in @Nature. Three excellent scientists @TakuyaOsakada, Rongzhen Yan, and @Evan10Jiang jointly pushed the project to its finish line. rdcu.be/dwPrr

Happy to re-tweet this highlight of our work by @SfNJournals which features PhD work by Sandra Salgado @JL6277 - and rest of our team at @RIMUHC1 @Brainrimuhc @mcgillu
#JNeurosci: How do VP neurons detect high Na+? @JL6277 @osmoland et al @Brainrimuhc show the Na+ sensing channel encoded by the Scn7A gene in rats operates as a Na+ sensor in MNCs & endogenous sensory properties of MNCs contribute to homeostatic activation jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
So looking forward to this. #CNS2024 in Toronto. In fact, i can see the conference venue (but not Russia) from my office window at @SickKidsNews.
#CNS2024 | Keynote Address - 'Making Memories in Mice', Sheena Josselyn, will give her lecture at CNS 2024 in Toronto. Understanding how the brain uses information is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. Several human... read more: cogneurosociety.org/keynote-addres… @CogNeuroNews @CNS_TA

At SfN for the first time? Here's some tips. YMMV. - stay at your poster the whole 4h - introduce yourself to people - talk into the microphone - go visit the vendors - go see plenary lectures - don't limit yourself to your subfield

I am calling on the federal government to double the funding to the tricouncils. Need your voice and those of all scientists across #Canada to support
Our annual reminder of the paucity of health research funding in Canada (to serve 40M people), when total CIHR funding is equivalent to about the total NIH funding for THREE U.S. universities. We have amazing scientists and science in Canada, and yet...
