Hello Biosciences:

As SBSA transitions to a great new leadership team, and in the spirit of holding your representatives accountable, I would like to provide a summary of SBSA's past year and some thoughts on future directions and improvements.

The letter to the community can be found at http://med.stanford.edu/content/dam/sm/sbsa/letters/State_of_SBSA_2017.pdf.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let SBSA know. I look forward to seeing SBSA's incoming team take SBSA to the next level!

Best,

Biafra Ahanonu

SBSA President

gantis: toward the edge
28 june 2013 | short story

The first in a series of short stories exploring a universe in which our negative space (i.e. space) is turned into their positive space (i[...].e. matter) and vice-versa. Thus, it is like the entire universe is a series of caves that they must excavate. This story introduces a few key characters, explore a bit of the lore, and is an attempt by me to write a story in which a clearer light is shone on a relationship between two characters. More to come, enjoy!

long-term optical imaging of the spinal cord in awake, behaving animals
25 may 2023 | neuroscience

How does the spinal cord process sensory stimuli in awake animals? A brief overview of results from our recent preprint describing [...]a spinal implant chamber, fibrosis-inhibiting materials, computational methods, and end-to-end pipeline for large-scale bilateral recording from multiple segments of the spinal cord. This allowed us to conduct long-term (months to over a year) imaging of individual axons, microglia dynamics, and Ca2+ imaging of neurons—all in awake, behaving animals.

Several of the approaches described, such as fibrosis inhibition, are applicable to preparations and experiments beyond the spinal cord.
