Ephys
Science and
Love.
I was
running late in lab today. The picture above is a recording from a neuron in
the hilar region of the hippocampus taken a few days ago. In contrast, I was
able to record from an astrocyte for the first time today. As this will be a
major part of my project, I was very excited and did not want to leave the rig
(the set of equipment used in electrophysiology). I called Susan around 7pm,
and told her that I was running late, and that I had meant to stop to get her
flowers. She told me she’d rather have me home for dinner sooner than
later...how awesome is that? We had a wonderful dinner of salmon, brown rice,
and asparagus...and I know full well that a big belated Valentine’s is on
the
way!

on physiology, astrocytes, and my new project in another post.
