Had a great day at Human Technopole - lots of stimulating discussions with students and faculty and also, this should be a new standard, Aperol spritz after the seminar! @humantechnopole.bsky.social

Ribosomes in pairs: A survival strategy inside stressed cells.
When nutrients drop or temperatures shift, cells switch to survival mode. New work by @erin-schuman.bsky.social & colleagues shows that inactive ribosomes pair up via a ribosomal RNA link @andschwarz.bsky.social @muellermara.bsky.social

Here’s a group photo from the 2nd block of the Cajal Course "Advanced Techniques for #Synapse Biology", with our top speakers @erin-schuman.bsky.social & @verstrekenlab.bsky.social, plus our brilliant directors @cecilecharrier.bsky.social & Julien Dupuis.
Great time connecting in #neuroscience!

Event structure sculpts neural population dynamics in the lateral entorhinal cortex Our experience of the world is a continuous stream of events that must be segmented and organized at multiple timescales. The neural mechanisms underlying this process remain unknown. In this work, we...

Your brain doesn’t just passively track time ⏳ - it structures it.
In @Science.org we show that activity in 🧠 memory circuits (LEC) drifts constantly, but makes sharp jumps at key moments, segmenting life into meaningful events. (1/2)
