Our next #TransitMeetup is on the books! Join us at Mountain View Transit Center on March 17 at 5:30 PM to celebrate transit staff and operators! Come discuss transit with other passionate transit fans and write notes of appreciation to drivers and agencies.
We’ll also be doing a group transit ride from West Valley College to the MVTC. Join us at the WVC Transit Center at 3:30 PM to ride with us!
#VTA continues to keep up the great work, with ridership increasing year over year. Comparing December ridership numbers between 2022 and 2023, there was a 16.6% increase in overall riders, a 15.3% increase in bus riders, and a 22.7% increase in light rail riders! 🚌🚈📈
Here is our paper! My #research shows how certain adult neurons resist activity changes.
On a macro level, this could provide a new hypothesis for why adults exhibit resistance to #learning, #anxiety, and #addiction.
A key question is why? It may not only be a negative byproduct of age but could be an evolutionary advantage to resist trauma or external influence after we've found "successful strategies" while younger.
The "resist changes" refers to #neuroplasticity. We found a reduction in long-term depression, or #LTD, in adult mice after high frequency stimulus (HFS) compared to adolescent mice.
These cells are specifically #GABA releasing cells in the ventral tegmental area (#VTA ), where GABA can regulate dopamine release throughout the #brain.
