Patricia Gonzalez from Biological Sciences
Wednesday 4th October 2017
It is the first week in October and it is tradition to start our Southampton Neuroscience group seminars again. We made a few small changes and this year: the neuroscience seminars will be every Wednesday from 16.00-17.00 and we have invited speakers across the faculties to cover the broad spectrum of neuroscience research in our University.
We kicked off with a talk from Patricia Gonzalez from Biological Sciences. As one of the poster prize winners in the annual SoNG conference., it was only right to ask her to present her exciting work on Cholinergic pathways in c. elegans. Patricia convincingly showed how c elegans can be used as a model organism to study the function of the neuromuscular junction in the different muscles. Patricia used emoticons to explain how synapses can be trained with preconditioning. 
What a good idea! All in all a very nice talk!
Patricia is a second year PhD student in Biological Sciences, supervised by Prof Lindy Holden Dye, Prof Vincent O’Connor, Christopher Green (DSTL) and John Tetterstall ( DSTL).

Excellent turn out for the first talk of the semester!
Lots of question!
