THIS IS ONE NEURON! Jaw dropping.
It distributes a particular neurotransmitter (norepinephrine) across the mouse brain; it’s a locus coeruleus neuron.
@jeremiahycohen.bsky.social and colleagues at the @alleninstitute.bsky.social are using new biotech to see things never seen before.

Very excited to post this preprint... making a species that doesn't hibernate do something a lot like it, AND showing it is cardioprotective.

When is a "pathogenic" variant in a classic pain gene (NaV1.7) not pathogenic? When its carried by many thousands of people and has no evidence of a pain phenotype or analgesic prescriptions... We need to reconsider how we assign pathogenicity to these variants.

THE BOY FROM BLYTH!!!!
SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!!!! 😍
Mice manage airways in anaesthetised cage mates... maybe there is a genetic basis for becoming an anaesthetist. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

We offer two PhD positions in Pain Neuroscience and Non-invasive neuromodulation. The positions are at the PainLabMunich (painlabmunich.de) and will be part of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Doctoral Network FRESCO4NoPain. See www.cnap.hst.aau.dk/fresco4nopai... for details.
Excited to be part of the FRESCO4NoPain consortium - 17 PhD places available across European centres. Translational Neuromodulation for pain - apply here if this is your bag www.cnap.hst.aau.dk/fresco4nopai...
Interesting new option in acute pain management… wonder when it’ll come to the UK?
Happy 84th birthday to Anthony Fauci

Our publishing model, launched last year, lets authors revise their papers whenever and however they choose.
Here's the first-ever revision to be published on how the locus coeruleus is involved in visuomotor learning processes. #12DaysOfeLife

Great Wave of neurons
Happy to be joining the wave of Neuroscience flocking here and bringing some locus coeruleus #bluespot interest to Bluesky
