Great article that is a master class in clarity.

Excellent science, made in Europe: This year’s winner of the Körber European Science Prize, Erin Schuman, shares exciting insights on proteins, nerve cells, and the human brain. 🧠 ▶️Watch the video now! https://lnkd.in/d6za_cqc Erin Schuman is a pioneer in neurobiology. She discovered that and how proteins, as critical building blocks of the cells, are locally produced at the interfaces between neurons. Schuman’s newly discovered mechanism has revolutionised our understanding of the brain and opened up new avenues of research into serious brain disorders. “It truly is an awesome feat that individual brain cell can process a thousand or more different streams of information independently,” says Schuman, who is Director of the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt, Germany. She will receive the Körber European Science Prize in Hamburg on 20 September. 🎥Want to learn more about the brain and its synapses?

The National Science Foundation, in connection with the Kavli Foundation's Neurobiology and Changing Ecosystems Initiative, encourages submission of research proposals for its Neurobiology in Changing Ecosystems (NiCE) that advance the field of neurobiology in changing ecosystems. Proposals should emphasize interdisciplinary collaborations and integrate diverse methodologies, including environmental monitoring techniques, behavioral and physiological experiments, ecological and evolutionary modeling, combined with traditional approaches in neuroscience investigation. https://ow.ly/C1aP50Qr66a?

Caenorhabditis elegans, also known as C. elegans, is a nematode, or roundworm, that is a popular model organism in many areas of research. Its small size, short life cycle, and well-characterized genome make it a versatile tool for studying many aspects of biology, including aging, genetics, and neurobiology: #Research work in C-Elegans C Elegans body Movement #Sample 3 #Molecular Biology #Research Work

I’ve always had a stark interest in neuroscience and understanding the working of the human brain. Along with studying the course of clinical and molecular neurobiology this semester, I also completed my 5 week internship at Dr. Sibylle Jablonka's Lab. In this duration, I witnessed a lot of new things like dissection of mouse embryos , its spinal cord and motor neurons, culturing of neurons and HEK cells , genotyping of nmd mouse lines and also performed techniques like immunostaining. Really looking forward to explore the realms of this field in depth and learn new techniques on the way! 🧠 #neuroscience #humanbrain #spinalmuscularatrophy

What are some of the biggest questions in #neuroscience today, like how does technology impact the research and what are some of the biggest findings? Nikki Crowley, PhD, Huck Early Career Chair in Neurobiology and Neural Engineering and assistant professor of biology, biomedical engineering, and pharmacology, shares answers to the top three questions submitted by some of her neurobiology students. 🥼 🧪 Crowley will expand upon these questions and more Saturday, Feb. 10, in 100 Huck Life Sciences Building as part of the #AshtekarFrontiersofScience Lecture series.

Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is pleased to offer a special collection of recent neurobiology articles to accompany the upcoming Society for Neuroscience's 2024 meeting in Chicago. ➡️ https://hubs.la/Q02RD9MK0 The collection showcases the breadth of topics and approaches with which JCB authors explore the structures and functions of neurons and glia, in both homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. Readers will discover fundamental advances made using cutting-edge experimental systems related to proteolysis of TDP-43, control of network activity by astrocytes, and trans-synaptic signaling at neuromuscular junctions. In addition, work in this collection extends our understanding of axonal transport mechanisms and their defects as well as metabolic contributions to actomyosin contraction, among many other important areas central to neuroscience. https://hubs.la/Q02RD9MK0
