  • The Brain’s Dark Matter: Exploring the Extracellular Matrix | Prof. Jessica Kwok
    In our 25th episode, we're highlighting a fascinating and often overlooked area of neuroscience: the extracellular matrix of the brain. We are delighted to host Dr. Jessica Kwok, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the University of Leeds, whose research is reshaping our understanding of memory, brain plasticity, and post-injury recovery. In this episode, you will learn:  -What perineuronal nets (PNNs) are and their influence on brain function. -The surprising role of the ECM in spinal cord injury recovery. -How the ECM shapes brain development and aging. -The reasons why some neurons possess PNNs while others do not. -The therapeutic potential of targeting PNNs, and many more interesting topics! Subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us for exciting neuroscience content.🎙️Link to our social media accounts:https:/linktr.eeneurosciencebeyond  #Neuroscience #ExtracellularMatrix #SpinalCordInjury #ECM #PNN This podcast is supported by the International Max Planck Research School for Neurosciences in #Göttingen, the European Neuroscience Institute, the Cluster of Excellence "Multiscale Bioimaging" in Göttingen, as well as, SFB1286.  Neuroscience and Beyond team: Svilen Georgiev Kristina Jevdokimenko Ahsen Konaç Sayıcı Beatriz Apgaua Mels Akhmetali

  • Rethinking Academia: What’s Broken and How We Can Fix It | #3 with Dr. Shaib
    In our latest episode, we had the privilege of speaking with Ali from Georg-August-Universität Göttingen about the challenges academics face!Ali highlights the complexities of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, their unintended consequences, and the need for structural reforms—particularly in education—to foster genuine equality. While well-intentioned, DEI policies can be manipulated for political agendas, potentially harming the very minorities they aim to support.Our discussion also touches on broader challenges in the scientific community, including funding, equality, tenure tracks, and academic bureaucratic hurdles. We highlight the urgent need for sustainable funding for scientific research.A must-listen for anyone interested in policy, inclusion, and the future of scientific research!Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel for exclusive content and in-depth discussions on cutting-edge science!Supported by the International Max Planck Research School for Neurosciences in #Göttingen, the European Neuroscience Institute, SFB1286 as well as MBExC.Neuroscience and Beyond team:Svilen GeorgievKristina JevdokimenkoAhsen Konaç SayıcıBeatriz ApgauaMels Akhmetali

  • How to study protein shapes with light | One-step Nanoscale Expansion ONE Microscopy | Dr. Ali Shaib
    In this episode, we hosted Dr. Ali Shaib, Group Leader at the Institute of Neurophysiology, University Medical Center Göttingen. We explored One-step Nanoscale Expansion (ONE) microscopy – revolutionary imaging technology transforming structural biology and diagnostics.Dr. Shaib shared how ONE microscopy enables the visualization of proteins at an unprecedented scale, and why neuronal receptors are such fascinating targets for structural studies. We also discussed how this technology has a potential role in Parkinson’s diagnostics.Beyond science, we touched on work-life balance in research, the impact of preprint servers like BioRxiv, the role of social media in science communication, the Imaging for All initiative and the upcoming Göttingen Expansion Forum 2025.Don't miss our latest episode and subscribe to our YouTube channel for in-depth discussions on cutting-edge science!Timestamps00:00:00 Introduction 00:03:10 Ali’s background00:07:20 One-step Nanometer Expansion Microscopy00:14:09 Imaging GABA receptors with ONE microscopy vs other techniques00:16:12 Democratizing Microscopy 00:21:55 Parkinson’s diagnostics with ONE microscopy00:32:20 Initial stages of ONE 00:35:38 Work-life balance and mental health00:39:17 Peptide labeling00:43:40 3D Structures from 2D planes00:46:38 ONE and quantum computing - experimental approach00:50:54 ONE microscopy in cells and tissues00:53:06 BioRxiv impact on publications00:55:32 Social media & science communication00:58:12 Imaging for All01:01:23 Göttingen Expansion Forum 2025 (GEF25) Neuroscience and Beyond team:Svilen GeorgievKristina JevdokimenkoAhsen Konaç SayıcıBeatriz ApgauaMels AkhmetaliSteffen Pöschel (intro music)Klaas Kock (intro music)#Microscopy  #ONEmicroscopy #SuperResolution #Research  #Health  #Science #Innovation
