Scientifica’s Post

Day 5: Scientifica has supported the Drosophila Neurobiology: Genes, Circuits & Behavior course at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory with our #SliceScopes for several years - and we were given this wonderful insight into the course, techniques learnt and our collaboration.

Interesting post from LMB. It calls to mind my recent post: https://lnkd.in/en4xFTq9 about the importance and regulation of organelle pH and the early state of our understanding about how and why this happens. Clearly the effects of pH on protein structure and function - especially in the frequently "unstructured" N-terminal regions (I exemplified this by reference to the annexin protein family) is important in understanding and intervening in certain human pathologies. #pH #proteins #allosterism #pathology #organelles #transmembrane #ionpumps #neurobiology #LMB #laboratoryofmolecularbiology #annexin #aminotermini

🧠The development of the nervous system relies on precise axon guidance. The interconnections are crucial for our cognitive abilities, sensory perception, and memory. Understanding how such a vast network of contacts develops in the brain is a central question in neurobiology. 🚦Daniel Rozbesky's Laboratory of Structural Neurobiology now reveals that secreted semaphorins bind specifically to proteoglycan glycosaminoglycan chains, hence directing the axons. ➡Read more in PNAS https://lnkd.in/eKh5BVj6

This afternoon, Eiman Azim, Ph.D., Associate Professor and William Scandling Developmental Chair at the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory, The Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Associate Adjunct Professor at UCSD's Department of Neurobiology, will give a talk on 'Sensorimotor Circuits for Dexterous Movement.'

Today, I had the honor of participating in my first Neuroanatomy Lab session in the Anatomy & Neurobiology Department, BU. This experience allowed me to connect course material by viewing various sections of the brain and spinal cord! 🧠 #Neuroanatomy #LearningOpportunity

Professor Oscar Marin, Director of the Centre for Developmental Neurobiology, shares how King's is developing technologies to allow us unprecedented levels of understanding on how the brain develops to improve diagnosis and treatment of brain conditions. #ForeverKings🦁

I am Happy to share that, one of our research works is published in the "Molecular Neurobiology" with an impact factor 4.6
