Intermittent theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation induces hippocampal mossy fiber plasticity in male but not female mice PAPER ALERT!!! Tian Rui (Brittany) Zhang is a PhD student in the lab who has been studying the effects of various types of non-invasive stimulation (TMS, ECS) on adult neurogenesis, neuronal activity, and…
!!UPDATE!! This paper is now published at the Journal of Neuroscience and you can also find it here. Congratulations to John Darby Cole and Delane Espinueva, two former undergraduate students who led an incredibly detailed study of the morphological development of adult-born neurons. You might read this and think, hasn’t…
Now that I have something to show for it, let this be a formal announcement that I’ve returned to Toronto to join Paul Frankland’s lab (and therefore the larger Josselyn-Frankland group). I’ve always liked their work and one of the techniques I’m excited to learn is the use of viruses to…
Previously, I wrote about new SFN data on the role for newborn neurons in regulating emotion. The second half of the SFN meeting rounded out the story because the bulk of the functional presentations focussed on the role of new neurons in that other, classic function of the hippocampus: memory.…
…and now for what is probably my final pre-SFN post. Posters dealing with mossy fiber function!
