Was great to play a part in this! Congrats to all on this stellar paper 🥳🥳
First ride of the post-doc!!
Change is always hard but these views defo help! 😍
Honoured to be included in this years selection! Thank you CAN and CIHR-INMHA! 🙌
“Based on astrocytic activity alone, you can tell whether a mouse is in its comfort zone,” a new study suggests.

Astrocytes do so much more than any of us thought - they even communicate among specific brain regions across hemispheres!
The journey to this paper spanned nearly a decade, but I'm most excited to see what everyone else does with the tools we've built. There's so much for all of us to explore!
Hiring! Please share!

The glial cells’ activity reliably tracks with freezing, hesitancy and other behaviors reminiscent of anxiety.

Communication between distant brain regions is mediated by plastic networks of gap junction-coupled astrocytes.
Ghenissa et al. provide evidence that basolateral amygdala astrocytes reliably encode
anxiety states. Using simultaneous in vivo calcium recordings across an array of behavioral
tasks, combined with g...
