Super cool paper showing the potential of using clonally-imprinted gene expression to track clones without the need for barcoding. Combining all endogenous info in single-cells, it might just be possible in a few years to skip genetic barcoding altogether! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Excited to announce that our study 'Spatial enhancer activation influences inhibitory neuron identity' is now online in Nature Neuroscience nature.com/articles/s4159… Big thanks to the Winkelmann (Helmholtz Munich | @HelmholtzMunich TU München) & Torres (@CNIC_CARDIO) labs for the collaboration! 1/7

Happy to see our new story published. 3 types of cortical Radial Glia Cells revealed: alpha, beta and gamma, with different amplificative behavior and involved in different cell lineages, that run together and in parallel in different germinal layers. Ferret is a superb model (1)

Human cortical neurogenesis is altered via glucocorticoid-mediated regulation of ZBTB16 expression: Neuron cell.com/neuron/fulltex…

Impressive work from Jianping Fu University of Michigan Orly Reiner's Lab Song and Ming Labs describing a new method to grow a bona fide neural tube from human stem cells. NT-like  structures develop antero posterior & dorso-ventral polarities as in a normal neural tube, including hox gene segmentation &…

Let me highlight and contextualize our new study that will undoubtedly be controversial: ‘Most axonal mitochondria in cortical pyramidal neurons lack mitochondrial DNA and consume ATP’. Long thread 👇🏻 1/

Ever wanted to see everything about brain development, everywhere, all at once?

Well, Natalia Baumann in the lab generated an interactive birthdating atlas of the mouse brain just for that. It's called neurobirth.org

I’m over the moon to share my postdoc work nature, where we provide an answer to the longstanding question: how is the body’s stress response system (the HPA axis) activated during starvation? nature.com/articles/s4158…

Happy to share our preprint with Helena Weltzien, Christian Peters and Ruediger Klein. Here we show a novel central amygdala circuit that regulates nausea-induced feeding suppression.

We offer a PhD student position in our Neuronal Identity Regulation team 🧠🔬 at Instituto de Neurociencias UMH-CSIC. We are looking for highly motivated candidates with enthusiasm on nervous system development and regulation of gene expression #PhDposition #Celegans #Neuroscience

Thrilled to see our work published in Science Advances! Here, we show that ghrelin activates neurons in the central amygdala to promote food consumption and explore the involved circuits.

Anorexia nervosa is a curious eating disorder where individuals go against their homeostatic needs and practice food restriction and self-starvation. We focused on a single symptom of this complex condition to see what it could teach us bit.ly/3IjaJ4A
