BNA Training: Model systems in neuroscience research – the what, why and when?
BNA Event - 5th Nov 2025
Date: 5th November 2025, 13:00 – 16:00 (Online webinar)
Overview: A diverse range of model organisms and systems have played a vital role in illuminating fundamental aspects of neuroscience, elucidating disease mechanisms and in drug discovery for neurological disorders. Neuroscience researchers often have a deep affinity for the model system they primarily use, but as technologies continue to evolve and new techniques emerge, we need to ask ourselves: Are we always using the best model system to answer our scientific question? Are we missing valuable opportunities in to adapt our preferred models or incorporate novel approaches that are used in other model systems? Can we break down our “model system” silos to accelerate the impact of our research?

Telegram has no known backdoors and, even though it is come in for criticism for using proprietary encryption methods instead of open-source ones, those have yet to be compromised. While no messaging app can guarantee a 100% impermeable defense against determined attackers, Telegram is vulnerabilities are few and either theoretical or based on spoof files fooling users into actively enabling an attack.
Should I buy bitcoin?
“To the extent it is used I fear it’s often for illicit finance. It’s an extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions, and the amount of energy that’s consumed in processing those transactions is staggering,” the former Fed chairwoman said. Yellen’s comments have been cited as a reason for bitcoin’s recent losses. However, Yellen’s assessment of bitcoin as a inefficient medium of exchange is an important point and one that has already been raised in the past by bitcoin bulls. Using a volatile asset in exchange for goods and services makes little sense if the asset can tumble 10% in a day, or surge 80% over the course of a two months as bitcoin has done in 2021, critics argue. To put a finer point on it, over the past 12 months bitcoin has registered 8 corrections, defined as a decline from a recent peak of at least 10% but not more than 20%, and two bear markets, which are defined as falls of 20% or more, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
