KCl gives you a very short lived activation, then the neurons lose their ionic gradient. Notes: Images adapted from Marquez-Lopez 2022 See Markez-Lopez et al 2023 where we tested activity dependent tau secretion using gabazine and TTX as modulators of neuronal activity.
By Dr. Mariana Vargas-Caballero During a Master’s research project, students are often at a pivotal point. They’ve built expertise and developed advanced skills, their data is fresh, and their engagement with the project is at its peak. Yet, once the dissertation work concludes, that momentum is lost. Bringing research outputs, like publication-quality figures, to completion…
Looking back and proud to share an interview (in Spanish) I did with the inspiring group of Mexicanas en las Ciencias (nearly 20 000 strong) .🇲🇽Studying biology as an undergraduate at the National University of the State of Mexico (UAEM) was an amazing way to get hands on with science. Lots of lab work (where…
Although most people experience some memory problems from time to time (specially as we age), Alzheimer’s disease causes a much steeper decline in memory that would be expected in healthy aging. In Alzheimer’s disease, brain cells die, and abnormal proteins (amyloid beta and tau) accumulate in the brain. What’s happening in between having a healthy…
As scientists, we want to share our knowledge with others and for this we need to present our work. We normally want to share our rationale, results and claims (our argument ) to convince others of our message. Their questions and feedback would normally be helpful. Presentations vary from those in small groups (such as…
