Peter Somogyi gave an inspirational talk reflecting on his 50 years work on synapses and chronocircuits @PharmOxford. He started by saying. "none of this (work) I present will change the world, but we provided facts & approaches for the future generation to make discoveries"

Excellent talk by @ViditaVaidya on Serotonin's surprising role in mitochondrial dynamics in the cortex @OxfordDPAG, hosted by @CortexClub. A fascinating backstory on the evolution of serotonin - from the sunshine to mood and psychedelics.
