Excited to share our new paper in Nature! 'Transcriptomic neuron types vary topographically in function and morphology' explores how neurons in the zebrafish optic tectum exhibit diverse functions and shapes despite similar transcriptional profiles. https://t.co/289nAF8Pu3

New paper out! Krasimir Slanchev and colleagues in the lab discovered a population of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) that are driving visual background information (VBA). These ipRGCs project to the preoptic area. https://t.co/1lQRfP0Jv8

How do brains make decisions when faced with multiple, potentially conflicting cues? In our latest preprint, we show how #zebrafish use an additive strategy and process multiple visual features through anatomically distinct parallel pathways https://t.co/JzYRCPtoGW Thread ๐

Tonight, hundreds of thousands of Israelis are demanding an end to the war, the immediate release of all hostages, and the impeachment of @Netanyahu and his government of death. The day began with 400+ roadblocks, a total standstill on all major highways, and a nationwide

Your people donโt want this. Your military donโt want this. The world doesnโt want this. Palestinian civilians definitely donโt want this. Only you and your extreme right-wing govt ministers want this. Shame on you, Prime Minister.
We are not going to occupy Gaza - we are going to free Gaza from Hamas. Gaza will be demilitarized, and a peaceful civilian administration will be established, one that is not the Palestinian Authority, not Hamas, and not any other terrorist organization. This will help free

We are not our government. All government decisions are taken against the will of the majority of Israelis.

Unfortunately itโs clear that the Israeli people (although we are the majority since Oct 7th) canโt topple the government or change its ways. Seems like the attorney general, the last gate keeper, will be fired soon. As long as weโre stuck with this government, the war wonโt

Paper alert! Comparative ethology of hunting maneuvers in larvae of 5 fish species, long diverged from zebrafish.
elifesciences.org
The evolution of hunting behavior in fish larvae has arrived at different, species-specific solutions, recombining a shared repertoire of locomotor and eye movement motifs.

My lab was totally destroyed tonight by an Iranian missile. Nobody was hurt. Flies, plasmids, cells, equipment - all gone. Heart breaking. If during the course of the past 16 years, you have received something from my lab - please keep them safe.

Wouldn't it be great if we could not only image large connectomic volumes, but also completely reconstruct them? And if a whole mouse brain project didn't cost billions? With the PATHFINDER preprint ( https://t.co/Ae3UCLOljP), we preview a future where it doesn't have to.
