My PhD project is out as a preprint! We combined 2P and synchrotron X-ray to understand mouse olfactory bulb circuits, linking physiology to structure in 3 animals! https://t.co/ttULvIFh9o 🙌 @Trickymons, @APacureanu, @AndreasTSchafer, @esrfsynchrotron, @TheCrick

Hi @SfNtweets, Neurons of the same olfactory circuit in the mammalian brain share firing properties while showing individual traits. More about it today PM, poster E37 (PSTR341.09). @YuxinZhang97 @APacureanu @AndreasTSchafer

Take-off! Scientists discover the neural circuits that coordinate leg and wing movements in fruit flies.🪰 This could lead to a better understanding of how the nervous system senses and controls the body. Out in @Nature
