The Manitoba Neuroscience Network

The Manitoba Neuroscience Network The Manitoba Neuroscience Network (MNN) connects neuroscientists in Manitoba & the global community through communication & collaboration

The Manitoba Neuroscience Network (MNN) is an initiative formed to enhance coordination, efficiency and clinical application of neuroscience discovery in Manitoba. It is managed by the Winnipeg Chapter of the Society for Neuroscience. RESEARCH GROUPS
This network encompasses various research groups including:

ACTIVITIES & OUTREACH
The MNN holds an annual scientific meeting in June and a monthly seminar and visiting speaker series to encourage familiarity, communication, and collaboration among our basic and clinical neuroscience research community. To raise awareness of our research and to promote neuroscience education, the MNN has launched a Speaker Bureau that makes Manitoba neuroscientists available to lay audiences (schools, community centres, or charitable organizations) to discuss neuroscience research. In addition, as part of Brain Awareness Week, the MNN helps coordinate the annual Winnipeg Brain Bee competition for high school students in the Winnipeg School Division.

Thank you Miss Basaraba and Tyndall Park School Winnipeg School Division for allowing us to be a part of . Our PhD candidate Crystal Acosta read to a bright and engaged group of 8 year olds and they enjoyed learning about the brain and neurons. We hear many of them are now aspiring scientists!

In a new study published in Glia the Kauppinen and Jackson labs show that NMDAR activation of microglia induces PARP1/TRPM2 mediated pro-inflammatory microglial responses. This requires calcium influx and is dependent on ERK signaling but DNA damage independent. https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.uml.idm.oclc.org/doi/full/10.1002/glia.23790
