The European Animal Research Association (EARA) is continuing to update an interactive map on biomedical research underway for COVID-19. Reach out info@eara.eu if you are aware of any animal research that should be added.

Questions arise about the neurological implications of COVID-19 as more stories are reporting symptoms like headaches, confusion, seizures, tingling and numbness, and the loss of smell or taste.

The latest Research Highlight discusses Yin and colleagues’ recent publication showing that neural progenitors derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells can differentiate into cortical neurons that become functionally integrated into recipient rat cortex.

Optogenetics (and chemogenetics) are amazing techniques that have enabled us to make major leaps forward. However, one must be very careful when claiming causality. Editor-in-Chief Christophe Bernard reviews some potential known and unknown confounding factors that arise when using optogenetics.

Learn at home by watching five-minute presentations on optogenetics, epigenetics, human disease models, neuroethology, and machine learning.

If you’ve found yourself with downtime, you can use it to get clear on your career goals and how collaborations may play a part.
