Another one bites the neuron!!! 🦃😄🥳 Oligodendrocyte precursor cells ingest axons in the mouse neocortex | Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Last day of our #NeuroKit on Modern Approaches to #Behavioural Analysis DeepLabCut 🦄. Thanks so much for participating! Sending virtual high fives to participants across the world ✋👋👏🙌 See you in 2023 for the 2nd edition! Alexander Mathis Dr. 단비 (Danbee) Tauntaun Kim, PhD 🇰🇷🏳️‍🌈🧠🐙🤸

“Impressive” high-resolution imaging of microglia in zebrafish reveals a role for the centrosome in efferocytosis during brain development. elifesciences.org/articles/82094…

A potential mechanism for b2m, for anyone who's seen it differentially expressed in their neuroinflammation datasets.

Some say: I realize invertebrates may suffer, but I just don't care about it. Important to see that this is not an argument, just a report of a psychological state. Ethics is concerned not with whether you care but with whether you ought to care. (1/2)

Behavior has its chocolate-meets-peanut butter moment! - Introducing keypoint-MoSeq, a freely available platform for converting keypoints into syllables! Amazing work by Caleb Weinreb collab w/ @Scott_linderman Mackenzie Mathis, PhD Alexander Mathis Talmo Pereira 🇧🇷 bit.ly/40rKa3F

The real #Barbenheimer

We know there are differences between the left and right sides of the brain, known as brain asymmetry. But it’s not yet clear how or why this comes about. Stephen Wilson and ibianco from UCL aim to find answers, with support from our Discovery Research Awards ⤵️

Check out François Kroll's preprint which is a fresh approach to AD risk gene research, and his very nice commentary on finding causal processes. And just look at that in situ of the curious complement inhibitor, clusterin, beautifully localised to the choroid plexuses (plexi?)

@UCL's Stephen Wilson & Isaac Bianco are using #zebrafish as their animal model system, with support from Wellcome's Discovery Research Awards. They ask: what might happen if the #brain lost its asymmetry? Watch this film for any answers! x.com/wellcometrust/…

A thing we did finally came out nature! 100% the result of the extraordinary vision and hard work of PhD student Anya Suppermpool, who slogged through years of thankless technique building before making some important sleep discoveries. nature.com/articles/s4158…

science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… Really happy for this great story to be published - new insights both into the development of brain asymmetry and into the Wnt signalling pathway. Thanks and congrats to all authors of a very collaborative study!

During sleep, the brain weakens new connections made between neurons while awake—but only during the 1st half of sleep, finds a new study in fish led by Prof Jason Rihel The Rihel lab & Dr Anya Suppermpool Anya Suppermpool @uclcdb UCL Biosciences UCL Ear Institute ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/may/…

Awesome to see two Zebrafish Rock! papers out from my old colleagues @uclcdb this week (Anya Suppermpool, The Rihel lab, Stephen Wilson etc): ⚪️ Sleep pressure and synapses (doi.org/10.1038/s41586…) ⚪️ Neuronal asymmetry (doi.org/10.1126/scienc…)

What an incredible week for the UCL fish floor! Anya Suppermpool The Rihel lab rocking it in Nature and Gareth Powell Dr. Ana Faro PhD (She/Her/Dr) Stephen Wilson rocking it in Science! I bask in their glory and very thankful to be part of an amazing group of zebrafish researchers at UCL!

Exceptional keynote by Asya Rolls at #FENSForum2024 on how #immunoception and #immunengram define brain-immune interactions. Good times to be neuroscientist!
