This confocal image was created using viral vectors from the viral gene transfer core, a facility established in 2008 by the Picower Institute and the McGovern Institute to make viral vectors accessible to the MIT neuroscience community.

I have no idea what sort of plant this is but it looks great.

Inside every adolescent brain, 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic and exhilarating changes that will ever happen to us.
#LYTMindYourHead
Lyceum Youth Theatre and Traverse Young Writers present Mind Your Head, a double bill of performances which examines the hot topic of mental wellbeing for young people today.
Each evening show will feature Brainstorm, exploring the complexities of the adolescent brain in a unique performance conceived by a playwright, a neuroscientist and partially devised by the LYT cast themselves.
Brainstorm will be paired with a selection of short scenes by the Traverse Young Writers who have responded to themes of the science and biology behind emotions, and nature verses nurture
What does happiness mean? Is it material or emotional? Controlled by circumstances or temperament?

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is the leading genetic cause of infant death. The disease is caused due to the depletion of the ubiquitously expressed survival motor neuron (SMN) protein. However, the scientific community has still yet to understand how diminished levels of SMN specifically affect motor neurons, leading to paralysis and ultimately death.
Animal models are often used to explore therapeutic avenues for treatment of such diseases like SMA. Therefore, I was delighted to be given the opportunity to work with the three-time Nobel Prize ‘winner’ C.elegans. This amazing roundworm has proven itself to be highly valuable in making some of the most iconic scientific breakthroughs throughout history.
I decided to share an image of the C.elegans SMA model in comparison to a healthy animal, which are used by the University’s C.elegans research team, to investigate the molecular and cellular pathways, underpinning this devastating disorder.
My proposed research looks at using the C.elegans SMA model to ‘Investigate the role of oxidative stress’, with the ultimate goal to develop effective SMA therapies.

The nEUROn is the European fuill-scale technological demonstrator for an UCAV developed by an industrial tema led by Dassault Aviation with the collaboration of Finmeccanica-Alenia Aermacchi, Saab, Airbus Defence and Space, RUAG and HAI.
Main 'neuron' now stitched on top of the background. This was worked on soluble (Romeo) with two threads, burgundy and golden yellow, then just burgundy. Once the Romeo was rinsed off, I stitched it down with metallic thread (copper) and added some details with gold.
Hotulainen et al. investigate actin polymerization within dendritic spines, the small protrusions that form synapses with excitatory neurons. Expressing an inactive form of the small GTPase Rif (bottom), or depleting its effector, the formin mDia2 (middle), produces spines with shorter necks and larger heads. (JCB 185(2) TOC2)
