New research from a PhD student of one of our academic researchers, Associate Professor Guna Karupiah:
Targeting ectromelia virus and TNF/NF-κB or STAT3 signaling for effective treatment of viral pneumonia pnas.org/content/119/8/…

One of our excellent academics, @NeuroBill, has published his first paper since establishing his new lab & working with one of our terrific MBBS students @VivianImbriotis. They've developed a low-cost system to display visual stimuli for visual neuroscience experiments.

The photograph is a figure from the research article. Fig. 5. RPG (stands for Raspberry Pi Gratings, a Python software package written to deliver visual stimuli) is simple to synchronize with common 2-photon imaging and electrophysiology software and produces expected cellular responses as measured with calcium imaging and in vivo whole-cell recording. A, A field of GCaMP6f positive neurons is imaged while drifting gratings, under the control of RPG are displayed. On the right the response of 10 randomly selected ROIs with a peak ∆F/F0 of > 130% are shown. Each trace is the average of the response 15 stimuli. B, A whole-cell patch clamp recording from a layer II/III neurons made while drifting gratings were presented. In both recordings, gratings were presented in a pseudo-random order.

First publication from my new lab. If you need to display visual stimuli during an experiment, I think this might be a good way to do it. Thanks to @VivianImbriotis and @ransonad
