NEW PREPRINT! An evo-devo look at how new cerebellar nuclei are made. Spoiler: it’s all driven by region-specific excitatory progenitors in the early rhombic lip; inhibitory neurons fill in later. If you care about brain evolution or cerebellar development, check it out: tinyurl.com/CNdevelopment

Thrilled to share that our work is now published in Science! ✨ We found a preference for visual objects in the mouse spatial navigation system where they dynamically refine head-direction coding. In short, objects boost our inner compass! 🧭 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧵1/

1/ Mapping synaptic connectivity between individual neurons is extremely laborious. We developed BRISC, a new method that makes it possible to map inputs onto 100s of neurons in the same animal in a matter of weeks! Led by Alex Becalick and @antblot.bsky.social. 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

X-ray nanotomography can be your new friend for neuronal imaging. In our new #preprint (tinyurl.com/nanoXneuro) we present advances that push the spatial resolution limit for X-ray holographic nanotomography (XNH). We can now resolve synapses. 🧵

If you take a standard neuron model (e.g., leaky integrate-and-fire) and you expose it to Poisson inputs, you generally get a non-Poisson output spike train. So why are neural spike trains approximately Poisson?

Very cool new work by Jonny Kohl's lab on how hunger promotes infanticide dependent on the estrus cycle in mice. When hungry, Agrp neurons in the hypothalamus arcuate release NPY onto the medial preoptic area, promoting an infanticide aggressive state www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

When we enter a new environment, we use visual input to rapidly build an internal model of the local spatial environment. How does our brain do this? We review past literature and suggest some new ways forward in our new review in @currentbiology.bsky.social: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...
